The border on the west will be the Mediterranean Sea.

Then the border will extend south along the Jordan [River] and end at the Dead Sea. Those will be the borders around your country.”
13 Na Moses el fahk nu sin mwet Israel, “Pa inge facl se su kowos ac eis ke susfa, ma LEUM GOD El sang nu sin sruf eu tafu lun Israel.
So Moses/I [told all that] to the Israeli people. Then he/I said to them, “That is the land that you will receive. You must throw (lots/stones that have been marked) to decide which area will go to each of the nine and a half tribes, because Yahweh has commanded that it should be divided among them.
14 Sruf lal Reuben ac sruf lal Gad ac tafu sruf lal Manasseh eis tari acn selos, kitakatelik fal nu ke lupan sou lalos,
The tribes of Reuben, Gad, and half of the tribe of Manasseh have already received the land in which they will live.

They have received land on the east side of the Jordan [River], across from Jericho.”
16 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses,
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
17 “Eleazar mwet to, ac Joshua wen natul Nun, fah kitalik acn uh nu sin mwet uh.
“These are the men who will divide the land: First, Eleazar and Joshua.
18 Eis pac kais sie mwet kol ke kais sie sruf in kasrelos kitalik.”
But one leader [from each of the twelve tribes will help them divide the land].
19 Pa inge mwet su LEUM GOD El sulela: Sruf Mwet Kol Judah Caleb, wen natul Jephunneh Simeon Shelumiel, wen natul Ammihud Benjamin Elidad, wen natul Chislon Dan Bukki, wen natul Jogli Manasseh Hanniel, wen natul Ephod Ephraim Kemuel, wen natul Shiphtan Zebulun Elizaphan, wen natul Parnach Issachar Paltiel, wen natul Azzan Asher Ahihud, wen natul Shelomi Naphtali Pedahel, wen natul Ammihud
“From the tribe of Judah, appoint Jephunneh’s son Caleb. From the tribe of Simeon appoint Ammihud’s son Shemuel. From the tribe of Benjamin appoint Kislon’s son Elidad. From the tribe of Dan appoint Jogli’s son Bukki. From the tribe of Manasseh appoint Ephod’s son Hanniel. From the tribe of Ephraim appoint Shiphtan’s son Kemuel.

Yahweh commanded that all those were the men who should divide the Canaan region among the Israeli people.
