53 “To these the land should be apportioned for an inheritance by the number of the names.+

14 Now this is what the sons of Israel took as a hereditary possession in the land of Caʹnaan,+ which El·e·aʹzar the priest and Joshua the son of Nun and the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the sons of Israel caused them to inherit.+

15 And the lot+ of the tribe of the sons of Judah by their families came to be to the boundary of Eʹdom,+ the wilderness of Zin,+ to the Negʹeb+ at its southern end.

16 And the lot+ came out for the sons of Joseph+ from the Jordan+ at Jerʹi·cho to the waters of Jerʹi·cho eastward, the wilderness going up from Jerʹi·cho into the mountainous region of Bethʹel.+

17 And the lot+ came to be for the tribe of Ma·nasʹseh,+ because he was Joseph’s firstborn,+ for Maʹchir+ the firstborn of Ma·nasʹseh, the father of Gilʹe·ad,+ because he was one who proved to be a man of war;+ and Gilʹe·ad+ and Baʹshan came to belong to him.
