Verses on Divided by lot

  1. ADONAI said to Moshe,

  2. "These are the names of the men who will take possession of the land for you: El'azar the cohen and Y'hoshua the son of Nun.

  3. Also appoint one leader from each tribe to take possession of the land.

  4. The names of these men are: from the tribe of Y'hudah, Kalev the son of Y'funeh;

  5. from the tribe of the descendants of Shim'on, Sh'mu'el the son of 'Ammihud;

  6. from the tribe of Binyamin, Elidad the son of Kislon;

  7. from the tribe of the descendants of Dan, a leader, Buki the son of Yogli;

  8. from the descendants of Yosef: from the tribe of the descendants of M'nasheh, a leader, Hani'el the son of Efod;

  9. from the tribe of the descendants of Efrayim, a leader, K'mu'el the son of Shiftan;

  10. from the tribe of the descendants of Z'vulun, a leader, Elitzafan the son of Parnakh;

  11. from the tribe of the descendants of Yissakhar, a leader, Palti'el the son of 'Azan;

  12. from the tribe of the descendants of Asher, a leader, Achihud the son of Shlomi;

  13. from the tribe of the descendants of Naftali, a leader, P'dah'el the son of 'Ammihud."

  14. These are the ones whom ADONAI ordered to divide the inheritance among the people of Isra'el in the land of Kena'an.

  15. So now, divide this land as an inheritance for the nine tribes and the half-tribe of M'nasheh."

  16. With the half-tribe of M'nasheh, the Re'uveni and the Gadi received their inheritance, which Moshe had given them, beyond the Yarden eastward, just as Moshe the servant of ADONAI had given them -

  17. from 'Aro'er on the edge of the Arnon Valley, the city in the middle of the valley, all the plateau between Meidva and Divon,

  18. and all the cities of Sichon king of the Emori who ruled in Heshbon to the border with the people of 'Amon;

  19. and Gil'ad, the territory of the G'shuri and Ma'akhati, all Mount Hermon, all Bashan as far as Salkhah -

  20. that is, all the kingdom of 'Og in Bashan, who ruled in 'Ashtarot and Edre'i. 'Og was one of those remaining from the Refa'im, whom Moshe defeated and expelled.

  21. However, the people of Isra'el expelled neither the G'shuri nor the Ma'akhati, with the consequence that G'shur and Ma'akhat have lived among Isra'el to this day.

  22. Only to the tribe of Levi did Moshe give no inheritance; because the offerings made by fire for ADONAI the God of Isra'el are its inheritance; as [ADONAI] had said to Moshe.
