Be sure to allocate the land to Israel for an inheritance as I have commanded you. 7 Now divide this land as an inheritance for the nine tribes and the half-tribe of Manasseh. 8 The other half-tribe, along with the Reubenites and the Gadites, has already received the inheritance that Moses gave them beyond the Jordan to the east, as the servant of the LORD had assigned to them. 9 Their territory extended from Aroer on the edge of the Arnon Valley, including the city in the middle of the valley, and the entire plateau from Medeba to Dibon. 10 It also included all the cities of Sihon, king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, up to the border of the Ammonites. 11 Additionally, it included Gilead, the territory of the Geshurites and Maachathites, all Mount Hermon, and all Bashan as far as Salcah. 12 This encompassed the entire kingdom of Og in Bashan, who reigned in Ashtaroth and Edrei, and was the last of the Rephaim. Moses defeated them and dispossessed them. 13 However, the Israelites did not drive out the Geshurites or the Maachathites. So Geshur and Maachath continue to live among the Israelites to this day. 14 But to the tribe of Levi, Moses gave no inheritance, for the offerings made by fire to the LORD, the God of Israel, are their inheritance, as He promised. 15 Moses gave to the tribe of the Reubenites, according to their clans: 16 Their territory extended from Aroer on the rim of the Arnon Valley, including the city in the middle of the valley, and the entire plateau near Medeba. 17 Heshbon and all its cities on the plain, including Dibon, Bamoth Baal, and Beth Baal Meon. 18 Also, Jahaz, Kedemoth, and Mephaath, 19 as well as Kiriathaim, Sibmah, and Zereth-shahar on the hill of the valley, 20 Beth Peor, the slopes of Pisgah, and Beth Jeshimoth. 21 All the cities on the plateau and the entire kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned at Heshbon. Moses defeated him along with the princes of Midian—Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba—who were rulers allied with Sihon and lived in the land.
  • Ezek 47:13-22 : 13 This is what the Lord GOD says: 'This will be the boundary by which you shall divide the land as an inheritance for the twelve tribes of Israel, with Joseph receiving two portions.' 14 You are to divide it equally among yourselves. I swore to give it to your ancestors, and this land will fall to you as an inheritance. 15 This will be the boundary of the land: On the northern side, it will extend from the Great Sea by way of Hethlon to the entrance of Zedad. 16 It will continue to Hamath, Berothah, and Sibraim, which lies between the border of Damascus and the border of Hamath, as far as Hazar Hatticon, which is on the border of Hauran. 17 The boundary will extend from the sea to Hazar Enan, along the northern border of Damascus, with the border of Hamath to the north. This will be the northern boundary. 18 On the eastern side, the boundary will run from Hauran and Damascus along the Jordan between Gilead and the land of Israel, down to the eastern sea as far as Tamar. This will be the eastern boundary. 19 On the southern side, it will run from Tamar to the waters of Meribah Kadesh, along the Wadi of Egypt to the Great Sea. This will be the southern boundary. 20 On the western side, the boundary will be the Great Sea, from the southern border to a point opposite Lebo Hamath. This will be the western boundary. 21 You are to divide this land among the tribes of Israel. 22 You are to allot it as an inheritance for yourselves and for the foreigners who reside among you and have children. They are to be considered native-born Israelites and are to share the inheritance with you among the tribes of Israel.
