14
because the families of the tribe of Reuben, the tribe of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance.
15
These two-and-a-half tribes have received their inheritance east of the Jordan across from Jericho, toward the sunrise.”
16
The LORD said to Moses,
17
“These are the names of the men who are to assign the land for you as an inheritance: Eleazar the priest and Joshua son of Nun.
18
And appoint one leader from each tribe to help assign the land.
19

20
Shemuel son of Ammihud, from the tribe of Simeon;
21
Elidad son of Kislon, from the tribe of Benjamin;

Bukki son of Jogli, the leader from the tribe of Dan;
23
Hanniel son of Ephod, the leader from the tribe of Manasseh son of Joseph;

Kemuel son of Shiphtan, the leader from the tribe of Ephraim son of Joseph;
25
Elizaphan son of Parnak, the leader from the tribe of Zebulun;
