19. The southern limit runs from Tamar to the waters of Meribath-kadesh and from there along the border of Egypt to the Mediterranean Sea. This is the southern limit.
20. For the western limit, the Mediterranean Sea is the boundary up to Lebo-hamath. This is the western limit.
21. You will apportion this land among yourselves according to the tribes of Israel.
22. When you distribute the land as an inheritance, the immigrants who reside with you and raise families among you are considered full citizens along with the Israelites. They will receive an inheritance along with you among the tribes of Israel.
23. You will assign the immigrants’ inheritance with the tribe with whom they reside. This is what the Lord God says.
