19 “The southern boundary runs south-west from Tamar to the oasis of Kadesh Meribah, and then north-west along the Egyptian border to the Mediterranean Sea.

21 “Divide this land among your tribes;
22 it is to be your permanent possession. The foreigners who are living among you and who have had children born here are also to receive their share of the land when you divide it. They are to be treated like full Israelite citizens and are to draw lots for shares of the land along with the tribes of Israel.
23 Foreign residents will receive their share with the people of the tribe among whom they are living. I, the Sovereign Lord, have spoken.”
