Numbers 34

1 Then the LORD said to Moses,

And the LORD spake 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, (this is the land that shall fall unto you for an inheritance, even the land of Canaan according to the borders thereof, )

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,

then your south quarter shall be from the wilderness of Zin along by the side of Edom, and your south border shall be from the end of the Salt Sea eastward:

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 your border shall turn about southward of the ascent of Akrabbim, and pass along to Zin: and the goings out thereof shall be southward of Kadesh-barnea; and it shall go forth to Hazar-addar, and pass along to Azmon:

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

and the border shall turn about from Azmon unto the brook of Egypt, and the goings out thereof 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 for the western border, ye shall have the great sea and the border [thereof]: this shall be your west border.

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

And this shall be your north border: from the great sea ye shall mark out for you mount Hor:

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

from mount Hor ye shall mark out unto the entering in of Hamath; and the goings out of the border shall be at Zedad:

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

and the border shall go forth to Ziphron, and the goings out thereof shall be at Hazar-enan: this shall be your north border.

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

And ye shall mark out your east border from Hazar-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 border shall go down from Shepham to Riblah, on the east side of Ain; and the border shall go down, and shall reach unto the side of the sea of Chinnereth 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 Jordan, and the goings out thereof shall be at the Salt Sea: this shall be your land according to the borders thereof 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 inherit 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 fathers’ houses, and the tribe of the children of Gad according to their fathers’ houses, have received, and the half tribe of Manasseh 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 beyond the Jordan at Jericho eastward, toward the sunrising.

16 Then the LORD said to Moses,

And the LORD spake 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 which shall divide the land unto you for inheritance: Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun.

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

And ye shall take one prince of every tribe, to divide the land for inheritance.

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 Jephunneh.

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 Chislon.

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

And of the tribe of the children of Dan a prince, Bukki the son of Jogli.

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

Of the children of Joseph: of the tribe of the children of Manasseh a prince, Hanniel 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 a 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 a 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 a 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 a prince, Ahihud 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 a 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 commanded to divide the inheritance unto the children of Israel in the land of Canaan.
