Names of the appointed land distributors

Moses receives the Lord's command on how the land of Canaan is to be distributed by casting lots among the nine and a half tribes, since Reuben, Gad, and half of Manasseh have already received their inheritance east of the Jordan. The priest Eleazar and Joshua son of Nun are appointed to lead the distribution, together with one leader from each tribe – among them Caleb son of Jephunneh from Judah.

4. Mooseksen kirja 34,13-29

13Moses commanded the Israelites: This is the land you are to receive as your inheritance by lot, the land the LORD has commanded to be given to the nine and a half tribes.
וַיְצַ֣ו מֹשֶׁ֔ה אֶת־בְּנֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל לֵאמֹ֑ר זֹ֣את הָאָ֗רֶץ אֲשֶׁ֨ר תִּתְנַחֲל֤וּ אֹתָהּ֙ בְּגוֹרָ֔ל אֲשֶׁר֙ צִוָּ֣ה יְהוָ֔ה לָתֵ֛ת לְתִשְׁעַ֥ת הַמַּטּ֖וֹת וַחֲצִ֥י הַמַּטֶּֽה׃ ‬
14For the tribe of the Reubenites by their ancestral houses and the tribe of the Gadites by their ancestral houses have already received their inheritance, and the half-tribe of Manasseh has received theirs as well.
כִּ֣י לָקְח֞וּ מַטֵּ֨ה בְנֵ֤י הָראוּבֵנִי֙ לְבֵ֣ית אֲבֹתָ֔ם וּמַטֵּ֥ה בְנֵֽי־הַגָּדִ֖י לְבֵ֣ית אֲבֹתָ֑ם וַחֲצִי֙ מַטֵּ֣ה מְנַשֶּׁ֔ה לָקְח֖וּ נַחֲלָתָֽם׃ ‬
