Appointment of leaders to assign the inheritance
16 The LORD spoke to Moses:
17
These are the names of the men who will assign the inheritance of the land: Eleazar the priest and Joshua, Nun's son.
18
You will also take one chief from each tribe to apportion the land.
19
These are the names of the men: from the tribe of Judah, Caleb, Jephunneh's son;
20
from the tribe of the Simeonites, Shemuel, Ammihud's son;
21
from the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad, Chislon's son;
22
from the tribe of the Danites, a chief, Bukki, Jogli's son;
23
from Joseph's descendants: of the tribe of the Manassites, a chief, Hanniel, Ephod's son;
24
and from the tribe of the Ephraimites, a chief, Kemuel, Shiphtan's son;
25
from the tribe of the Zebulunites, a chief, Elizaphan, Parnach's son;
26
from the tribe of the Issacharites, a chief, Paltiel, Azzan's son;
27
from the tribe of the Asherites, a chief, Ahihud, Shelomi's son;
28
from the tribe of the Naphtalites, a chief, Pedahel, Ammihud's son.
29
These are the ones whom the LORD commanded to assign the inheritance of the Israelites in the land of Canaan.
