Appointed Leaders to Divide the Land

16

Then the LORD said to Moses,

17

“These are the names of the men who are to assign the land as an inheritance for you: Eleazar the priest and Joshua son of Nun.

18

Appoint one leader from each tribe to distribute the land.

19

These are their names: Caleb son of Jephunneh from the tribe of Judah;

20

Shemuel son of Ammihud from the tribe of Simeon;

21

Elidad son of Chislon from the tribe of Benjamin;

22

Bukki son of Jogli, a leader from the tribe of Dan;

23

Hanniel son of Ephod, a leader from the tribe of Manasseh son of Joseph;

24

Kemuel son of Shiphtan, a leader from the tribe of Ephraim;

25

Eli-zaphan son of Parnach, a leader from the tribe of Zebulun;

26

Paltiel son of Azzan, a leader from the tribe of Issachar;

27

Ahihud son of Shelomi, a leader from the tribe of Asher;

28

These are the ones whom the LORD commanded to apportion the inheritance to the Israelites in the land of Canaan.
