15

The two tribes and the half-tribe have been given their heritage on the other side of Jordan at Jericho, on the east looking to the dawn.

16

And the Lord said to Moses,

17

These are the names of the men who are to make the distribution of the land among you: Eleazar the priest and Joshua, the son of Nun.

18

And you are to take one chief from every tribe to make the distribution of the land.

And these are the names of the men: of the tribe of Judah, Caleb, the son of Jephunneh.
