Lot looked up and saw the whole region of the Jordan. He noticed that all of it was well-watered( before the LORD obliterated Sodom and Gomorrah) like the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt, all the way to Zoar.Lot chose for himself the whole region of the Jordan and traveled toward the east. So the relatives separated from each other.Abram settled in the land of Canaan, but Lot settled among the cities of the Jordan plain and pitched his tents next to Sodom.( Now the people of Sodom were extremely wicked rebels against the LORD.)After Lot had departed, the LORD said to Abram,“ Look from the place where you stand to the north, south, east, and west.I will give all the land that you see to you and your descendants forever.And I will make your descendants like the dust of the earth, so that if anyone is able to count the dust of the earth, then your descendants also can be counted.Get up and walk throughout the land, for I will give it to you.”

Numbers 34:2-15
“ Give these instructions to the Israelites, and tell them:‘ When you enter Canaan, the land that has been assigned to you as an inheritance, the land of Canaan with its borders,your southern border will extend from the wilderness of Zin along the Edomite border, and your southern border will run eastward to the extremity of the Salt Sea,and then the border will turn from the south to the Scorpion Ascent, continue to Zin, and then its direction will be from the south to Kadesh Barnea. Then it will go to Hazar Addar and pass over to Azmon.There the border will turn from Azmon to the Brook of Egypt, and then its direction is to the sea.“‘ And for a western border you will have the Great Sea. This will be your western border.“‘ And this will be your northern border: From the Great Sea you will draw a line to Mount Hor;from Mount Hor you will draw a line to Lebo Hamath, and the direction of the border will be to Zedad.The border will continue to Ziphron, and its direction will be to Hazar Enan. This will be your northern border.“‘ For your eastern border you will draw a line from Hazar Enan to Shepham.The border will run down from Shepham to Riblah, on the east side of Ain, and the border will descend and reach the eastern side of the Sea of Chinnereth.Then the border will continue down the Jordan River and its direction will be to the Salt Sea. This will be your land by its borders that surround it.’”Then Moses commanded the Israelites:“ This is the land which you will inherit by lot, which the LORD has commanded to be given to the nine and a half tribes,because the tribe of the Reubenites by their families, the tribe of the Gadites by their families, and half of the tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance.The two and a half tribes have received their inheritance on this side of the Jordan, east of Jericho, toward the sunrise.”

Joshua 14:1-15
The following is a record of the territory assigned to the Israelites in the land of Canaan by Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun, and the Israelite tribal leaders.The land assignments to the nine-and-a-half tribes were made by drawing lots, as the LORD had instructed Moses.Now Moses had assigned land to the two- and- a- half tribes east of the Jordan, but he assigned no land to the Levites.The descendants of Joseph were considered as two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim. The Levites were allotted no territory, though they were assigned cities in which to live, along with the grazing areas for their cattle and possessions.The Israelites followed the LORD’s instructions to Moses and divided up the land.The men of Judah approached Joshua in Gilgal, and Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said to him,“ You know what the LORD said about you and me to Moses, the man of God, at Kadesh Barnea.I was forty years old when Moses, the LORD’s servant, sent me from Kadesh Barnea to spy on the land and I brought back to him an honest report.My countrymen who accompanied me frightened the people, but I remained loyal to the LORD my God.That day Moses made this solemn promise:‘ Surely the land on which you walked will belong to you and your descendants permanently, for you remained loyal to the LORD your God.’So now, look, the LORD has preserved my life, just as he promised, these past forty-five years since the LORD spoke these words to Moses, during which Israel traveled through the wilderness. Now look, I am today eighty-five years old.Today I am still as strong as when Moses sent me out. I can fight and go about my daily activities with the same energy I had then.Now, assign me this hill country which the LORD promised me at that time! No doubt you heard at that time that the Anakites live there in large, fortified cities. But, assuming the LORD is with me, I will conquer them, as the LORD promised.”Joshua asked God to empower Caleb son of Jephunneh and assigned him Hebron.So Hebron remains the assigned land of Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite to this very day because he remained loyal to the LORD God of Israel.( Hebron used to be called Kiriath Arba. Arba was a famous Anakite.) Then the land was free of war.
