¹ Now the part of the land marked out for the children of Judah by families, went up to the edge of Edom, as far as the waste land of Zin to the south, to the farthest point of it on the south.

⁵⁵ But let the distribution of the land be made by the decision of the Lord: by the names of the tribes of their fathers let their heritage be given them.

⁵⁶ As it is ordered by the decision of the Lord, let distribution be made between those who are more in number and those who are less.

³⁶ And they went on from Ezion-geber, and put up their tents in the waste land of Zin (which is Kadesh).

³⁷ And they went on from Kadesh, and put up their tents in Mount Hor, on the edge of the land of Edom.

³ Then your south quarter will be from the waste land of Zin by the side of Edom, and your limit on the south will be from the east end of the Salt Sea,

⁴ And round to the south of the slope of Akrabbim, and on to Zin: and its direction will be south of Kadesh-barnea, and it will go as far as Hazar-addar and on to Azmon:

⁵ And from Azmon it will go round to the stream of Egypt as far as the sea.

² Their heritage by the Lord's decision, as he gave orders by Moses, for the nine tribes and the half-tribe.

¹⁹ And the south side to the south will be from Tamar as far as the waters of Meribath-kadesh, to the stream of Egypt, to the Great Sea. This is the south side, on the south.
