Numbers 34:11-21

11 et de Sephama descendent termini in Rebla contra fontem inde pervenient contra orientem ad mare Chenereth

12 et tendent usque Iordanem et ad ultimum Salsissimo cludentur mari hanc habebitis terram per fines suos in circuitu

13 praecepitque Moses filiis Israhel dicens haec erit terra quam possidebitis sorte et quam iussit dari Dominus novem tribubus et dimidiae tribui

14 tribus enim filiorum Ruben per familias suas et tribus filiorum Gad iuxta cognationum numerum media quoque tribus Manasse

15 id est duae semis tribus acceperunt partem suam trans Iordanem contra Hiericho ad orientalem plagam

16 et ait Dominus ad Mosen

17 haec sunt nomina virorum qui terram vobis divident Eleazar sacerdos et Iosue filius Nun

18 et singuli principes de tribubus singulis

19 quorum ista sunt vocabula de tribu Iuda Chaleb filius Iepphonne

20 de tribu Symeon Samuhel filius Ammiud

21 de tribu Beniamin Helidad filius Chaselon
