“And Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying, This is the land which ye shall inherit by lot, which the Lord commanded to give unto the nine tribes, and to the half tribe:”
And Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying, This is the land which ye shall inherit by lot, which the LORD commanded to give unto the Abarim by the coast of Jordan toward the sunrising — Moses reiterates the covenant: the land defined by these boundaries is Israel's inheritance, allocated by lot (divine apportionment). The phrase "the LORD commanded to give" emphasizes that the boundaries are covenant-stipulated, not negotiable.
