Numbers 33:54 Cross References - LEB

⁵⁴ You will distribute the land by lot according to your clans; to the larger group you will give a larger inheritance, and to the smaller group you will give less inheritance. However the lot falls for him, there the lot will be. You will distribute it according to the tribes of your ancestors.*

⁵³ "For these the land must be divided as an inheritance according to the number of names. ⁵⁴ For the larger group you must increase their inheritance, and for the smaller group you must make smaller their inheritance; each must be given _⌊their_⌋* inheritance according to the number of the ones counted of them. ⁵⁵ Surely the land will be divided by lot. They will inherit according to the names of the tribes of their ancestors.* ⁵⁶ _⌊Their_⌋* inheritance must be divided according to the lot between the larger and smaller groups."

¹ The allotment for the tribe of the descendants* of Judah according to their families reached to the border of Edom, to the wilderness of Zin, _⌊to the far south_⌋.* ² Their southern border was from the end of the Salt Sea,* from the bay facing southward; ³ it continues* to the south to the ascent of Akrabbim, passes along to Zin, it goes up south of Kadesh Barnea, passes along Hezron, goes up to Addar, and makes a turn to Karka; ⁴ _⌊it passes on_⌋* to Azmon, continues* by the wadi of Egypt, and _⌊it ends_⌋* at the sea.

¹ The allotment of the descendants* of Joseph went from the Jordan by Jericho, at the waters of Jericho to the east, into the wilderness, going up from Jericho into the hill country to Bethel; ² it continues from Bethel to Luz, and it passes along to the territory of the Arkites* at Ataroth. ³ Then it goes down, to the west, to the territory of the Japhletites,* up to the territory of Lower Beth-horon, then to Gezer, and _⌊it ends_⌋* at the sea. ⁴ And the descendants* of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, received their inheritance.

¹ Then the allotment was made for the tribe of Manasseh, because he was the firstborn of Joseph. To Makir, the firstborn of Manasseh, the father of Gilead, _⌊were allotted_⌋* Gilead and Bashan, because he was a warrior.* ² An allotment was made for the remaining descendants* of Manasseh, according to their families: For the children of Abiezer, Helek, Asriel, Shechem, Hepher, and Shemida—these were the male descendants* of Manasseh son of Joseph according to their families. ³ But Zelophehad son of Hepher, son of Gilead, son of Makir, son of Manasseh, had no sons, only daughters. These are the names of his daughters: Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah. ⁴ They came before Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun, and the leaders, saying, "Yahweh commanded Moses to give an inheritance to us among our kinsmen."* Therefore, according to the _⌊command of Yahweh_⌋* he gave them an inheritance among the kinsmen* of their father. ⁵ Thus ten shares fell to Manasseh, besides the land of Gilead and Bashan, which is beyond the Jordan, ⁶ because the daughters of Manasseh received an inheritance among his sons. And the land of Gilead was allotted to the remaining descendants* of Manasseh. ⁷ The border of Manasseh was from Asher to Micmethath, which is opposite Shechem;* then the border goes to the south, to the inhabitants of En Tappuah. ⁸ The land of Tappuah _⌊belonged to Manasseh_⌋,* but Tuppuah on the border of Manasseh _⌊belonged to the descendants of Ephraim_⌋.* ⁹ Then the border goes down to the wadi* of Kanah to the south of the wadi.

The border of Manasseh is north of the wadi, and _⌊it ends_⌋* at the sea. ¹⁰ The south is Ephraim's, and the north is Manasseh's; the sea is their* border; Asher touches the north and on the east Issachar. ¹¹ In Issachar and Asher, Manasseh had Beth-shean and its villages, Ibleam and its villages, the inhabitants of Dor and its villages, the inhabitants of En-dor and its villages, the inhabitants of Taanach and its villages, the inhabitants of Megiddo and its villages; the third is Napheth. ¹² But the descendants* of Manasseh were not able to take possession of these towns; the Canaanites* were determined to live in this land. ¹³ And it happened, when the _⌊Israelites_⌋* grew strong, they put the Canaanites* to forced labor but never drove them out completely.
