In Numbers 34, the Lord instructs Moses regarding the boundaries of the promised land (Canaan). God gives the specific land marks for the boundaries on the North, South, East, and West, of the special land that will be the possession of the Israelites. Next, the Lord directs Moses to give responsibility of dividing the land to Eleazar and Joshua. Also, the leader of each tribe is enlisted to help oversee the dividing of the land among the Israelites.
