11
But the miry places thereof and the marshes thereof shall not be healed; they shall be given to salt.
12
And by the river upon the bank thereof, on this side and on that side, shall grow every
fruitful tree for food, whose leaf shall not fall, neither shall its fruit be lacking; it shall bring forth mature fruit in its months, because their waters come forth out of the sanctuary; and its fruit shall be for food, and its leaf for medicine.
13
Thus hath the Lord GOD said: This is the border, by which ye shall divide the land in inheritance among to the twelve tribes of Israel: Joseph
shall have two portions.
14
And ye shall inherit it, one as well as another,
concerning that which I lifted up my hand that I must give it unto your fathers: therefore, this land shall fall unto you for inheritance.
15
And this
shall be the border of the land toward the north side, from the great sea, the way of Hethlon, as men go to Zedad;
16
Hamath, Berothah, Sibraim, which
is between the border of Damascus and the border of Hamath; Hazarhatticon, which
is by the coast of Hauran.
17
And the border of the north shall be from the sea of Hazarenan to the border of Damascus to the north, and to the border of Hamath to the side of the north.
18
And to the east side through Hauran, and Damascus, and Gilead, and through the land of Israel to the Jordan, ye shall measure this from the border unto the east sea.
19
And to the south side southward from Tamar
even to the waters of strife; from Kadesh and the river to the great sea. And
this shall be the south side southward.
20
And to the west side the great sea shall be the border straight unto Hamath. This
shall be the west side.
21
So shall ye divide this land among you according to the tribes of Israel.
