Numbers 34

1 Then the LORD said to Moses,

And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,

2 “Command the Israelites and say to them: When you enter the land of Canaan, it will be allotted to you as an inheritance with these boundaries:

Command the children of Israel, and say unto them, when ye come into the land of Canaan, shall this be the land that shall fall unto you for an inheritance: The land of Canaan according to its boundaries.

3 Your southern border will extend from the Wilderness of Zin along the border of Edom. On the east, your southern border will run from the end of the Salt Sea,

And the southern side shall be unto you from the wilderness of Zin along by the boundary of Edom, and your southern border shall commence at the outmost edge of the Salt Sea on its east side.

4 cross south of the Ascent of Akrabbim, continue to Zin, and go south of Kadesh-barnea. Then it will go on to Hazar-addar and proceed to Azmon,

And the border shall turn for you from the south of the ascent of 'Akrabbim, and pass on to Zin; and its terminating points shall be to the south of Kadesh-barnea', and shall go on to Chazar-addar, and pass on to Azmon;

5 where it will turn from Azmon, join the Brook of Egypt, and end at the Sea.

And the border shall turn from 'Azmon unto the river of Egypt, and its terminating points shall be at the sea.

6 Your western border will be the coastline of the Great Sea; this will be your boundary on the west.

And as the western border, shall ye have the Great Sea for a border: this shall be your western border.

7 Your northern border will run from the Great Sea directly to Mount Hor,

And this shall be unto you the northern border: from the Great Sea shall ye mark out for you [the boundary to] mount Hor;

8 and from Mount Hor to Lebo-hamath, then extend to Zedad,

From mount Hor shall ye mark out [the boundary] unto the entrance of Chamath; and the terminations of the border shall be toward Zedad;

9 continue to Ziphron, and end at Hazar-enan. This will be your boundary on the north.

And the border shall go on to Ziphron, and its terminating points shall be at Chazar'-enan: this shall be unto you the northern border.

10 And your eastern border will run straight from Hazar-enan to Shepham,

And ye shall turn yourselves to the eastern border, from Chazar-'enan to Shepham;

11 then go down from Shepham to Riblah on the east side of Ain and continue along the slopes east of the Sea of Chinnereth.

And the boundary shall go down from Shepham to Riblah, to the eastward of 'Ayin; and the boundary shall descend, and shall touch upon the coast of the sea of Kinnereth, eastward;

12 Then the border will go down along the Jordan and end at the Salt Sea. This will be your land, defined by its borders on all sides.”

And the border shall go down to the Jordan, and its terminating points shall be at the Salt Sea: this shall be your land after its boundaries round about.

13 So Moses commanded the Israelites, “Apportion this land by lot as an inheritance. The LORD has commanded that it be given to the nine and a half tribes.

And Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying, This is the land which ye shall divide among yourselves by lot, which the Lord hath commanded to give unto the nine tribes, and to the half tribe.

14 For the tribes of the Reubenites and Gadites, along with the half-tribe of Manasseh, have already received their inheritance.

For the tribe of the children of Reuben according to their family divisions, and the tribe of the children of Gad according to their family divisions, have received, —and the half of the tribe of Menasseh have received their inheritance;

15 These two and a half tribes have received their inheritance across the Jordan from Jericho, toward the sunrise.”

The two tribes and the half tribe have received their inheritance on this side of the Jordan opposite Jericho eastward, toward the rising of the sun.

16 Then the LORD said to Moses,

And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,

17 “These are the names of the men who are to assign the land as an inheritance for you: Eleazar the priest and Joshua son of Nun.

These are the names of the men who shall parcel out unto you the land: Elazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun.

18 Appoint one leader from each tribe to distribute the land.

And one prince each from every tribe shall ye take to parcel out the land.

19 These are their names: Caleb son of Jephunneh from the tribe of Judah;

And these are the names of the men: Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Yephunneh:

20 Shemuel son of Ammihud from the tribe of Simeon;

And of the tribe of the children of Simeon, Shemuel the son of 'Ammihud;

21 Elidad son of Chislon from the tribe of Benjamin;

Of the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad the son of Kisslon;

22 Bukki son of Jogli, a leader from the tribe of Dan;

And of the tribe of the children of Dan the prince, Bukki the son of Yogli;

23 Hanniel son of Ephod, a leader from the tribe of Manasseh son of Joseph;

Of the children of Joseph, for the tribe of the children of Menasseh the prince, Channiel the son of Ephod;

24 Kemuel son of Shiphtan, a leader from the tribe of Ephraim;

And of the tribe of the children of Ephraim the prince, Kemuel the son of Shiphtan;

25 Eli-zaphan son of Parnach, a leader from the tribe of Zebulun;

And of the tribe of the children of Zebulun the prince, Elizaphan the son of Parnach;

26 Paltiel son of Azzan, a leader from the tribe of Issachar;

And of the tribe of the children of Issachar the prince, Paltiel the son of 'Azzan;

27 Ahihud son of Shelomi, a leader from the tribe of Asher;

And of the tribe of the children of Asher the prince, Achihud the son of Shelomi;

28 and Pedahel son of Ammihud, a leader from the tribe of Naphtali.”

And of the tribe of the children of Naphtali the prince, Pedahel the son of 'Ammihud.

29 These are the ones whom the LORD commanded to apportion the inheritance to the Israelites in the land of Canaan.

These are they whom the Lord hath commanded to divide out the inheritance unto the children of Israel in the land of Canaan.
