The Lord Yahweh says:“ This shall be the border, by which you shall divide the land for inheritance according to the twelve tribes of Israel. Joseph shall have two portions.You shall inherit it, one as well as another; for I swore to give it to your fathers. This land will fall to you for inheritance.“ This shall be the border of the land:“ On the north side, from the great sea, by the way of Hethlon, to the entrance of Zedad;Hamath, Berothah, Sibraim, which is between the border of Damascus and the border of Hamath; Hazer Hatticon, which is by the border of Hauran.The border from the sea, shall be Hazar Enon at the border of Damascus; and on the north northward is the border of Hamath. This is the north side.“ The east side, between Hauran and Damascus and Gilead, and the land of Israel, shall be the Jordan; from the north border to the east sea you shall measure. This is the east side.“ The south side southward shall be from Tamar as far as the waters of Meriboth Kadesh, to the brook, to the great sea. This is the south side southward.“ The west side shall be the great sea, from the south border as far as opposite the entrance of Hamath. This is the west side.“ So you shall divide this land to yourselves according to the tribes of Israel.It will happen, that you shall divide it by lot for an inheritance to you and to the aliens who live among you, who will father children among you. Then they shall be to you as the native- born among the children of Israel. They shall have inheritance with you among the tribes of Israel.It shall happen, that in whatever tribe the stranger lives, there you shall give him his inheritance,” says the Lord Yahweh.

Numbers 32:2-14
Then the children of Gad and the children of Reuben came and spoke to Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and to the princes of the congregation, saying,“ Ataroth, Dibon, Jazer, Nimrah, Heshbon, Elealeh, Sebam, Nebo, and Beon,the land which Yahweh struck before the congregation of Israel, is a land for livestock; and your servants have livestock.”They said,“ If we have found favor in your sight, let this land be given to your servants for a possession. Don’t bring us over the Jordan.”Moses said to the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben,“ Shall your brothers go to war while you sit here?Why do you discourage the heart of the children of Israel from going over into the land which Yahweh has given them?Your fathers did so when I sent them from Kadesh Barnea to see the land.For when they went up to the valley of Eshcol, and saw the land, they discouraged the heart of the children of Israel, that they should not go into the land which Yahweh had given them.Yahweh’s anger burned in that day, and he swore, saying,‘ Surely none of the men who came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; because they have not wholly followed me,except Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, and Joshua the son of Nun, because they have followed Yahweh completely.’Yahweh’s anger burned against Israel, and he made them wander back and forth in the wilderness forty years, until all the generation who had done evil in Yahweh’s sight was consumed.“ Behold, you have risen up in your fathers’ place, an increase of sinful men, to increase the fierce anger of Yahweh toward Israel.
