04:033:047 And they removed from Almondiblathaim, and pitched in the mountains of Abarim, before Nebo.

04:033:048 And they departed from the mountains of Abarim, and pitched in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho.

04:033:049 And they pitched by Jordan, from Bethjesimoth even unto Abelshittim in the plains of Moab.

04:033:050 And the LORD spake unto Moses in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho, saying,

04:033:051 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye are passed over Jordan into the land of Canaan;

04:033:052 Then ye shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you, and destroy all their pictures, and destroy all their molten images, and quite pluck down all their high places:

04:033:053 And ye shall dispossess the inhabitants of the land, and dwell therein: for I have given you the land to possess it.

04:033:054 And ye shall divide the land by lot for an inheritance among your families: and to the more ye shall give the more inheritance, and to the fewer ye shall give the less inheritance: every man's inheritance shall be in the place where his lot falleth; according to the tribes of your fathers ye shall inherit.

04:033:055 But if ye will not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you; then it shall come to pass, that those which ye let remain of them shall be pricks in your eyes, and thorns in your sides, and shall vex you in the land wherein ye dwell.

04:033:056 Moreover it shall come to pass, that I shall do unto you, as I thought to do unto them.

04:034:001 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

04:034:002 Command the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land of Canaan; (this is the land that shall fall unto you for an inheritance, even the land of Canaan with the coasts thereof:)

04:034:003 Then your south quarter shall be from the wilderness of Zin along by the coast of Edom, and your south border shall be the outmost coast of the salt sea eastward:

04:034:004 And your border shall turn from the south to the ascent of Akrabbim, and pass on to Zin: and the going forth thereof shall be from the south to Kadeshbarnea, and shall go on to Hazaraddar, and pass on to Azmon:

04:034:005 And the border shall fetch a compass from Azmon unto the river of Egypt, and the goings out of it shall be at the sea.

04:034:006 And as for the western border, ye shall even have the great sea for a border: this shall be your west border.

04:034:007 And this shall be your north border: from the great sea ye shall point out for you mount Hor:

04:034:008 From mount Hor ye shall point out your border unto the entrance of Hamath; and the goings forth of the border shall be to Zedad:

04:034:009 And the border shall go on to Ziphron, and the goings out of it shall be at Hazarenan: this shall be your north border.

04:034:010 And ye shall point out your east border from Hazarenan to Shepham:

04:034:011 And the coast shall go down from Shepham to Riblah, on the east side of Ain; and the border shall descend, and shall reach unto the side of the sea of Chinnereth eastward:

04:034:012 And the border shall go down to Jordan, and the goings out of it shall be at the salt sea: this shall be your land with the coasts thereof round about.

04:034:013 And Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying, This is the land which ye shall inherit by lot, which the LORD commanded to give unto the nine tribes, and to the half tribe:

04:034:014 For the tribe of the children of Reuben according to the house of their fathers, and the tribe of the children of Gad according to the house of their fathers, have received their inheritance; and half the tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance:

04:034:015 The two tribes and the half tribe have received their inheritance on this side Jordan near Jericho eastward, toward the sunrising.

04:034:016 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

04:034:017 These are the names of the men which shall divide the land unto you: Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun.

04:034:018 And ye shall take one prince of every tribe, to divide the land by inheritance.
