Numbers 34

1 And the Lord said to Moses,

And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying:

2 Give orders to the children of Israel and say to them, When you come into the land of Canaan; (this is the land which is to be your heritage, the land of Canaan inside these limits, )

Command the sons of Israel, and thou shalt say unto them, When, ye, are coming into the land of Canaan, this is the land which shall fall unto you, as an inheritance, even the land of Canaan, by the boundaries thereof.

3 Then your south quarter will be from the waste land of Zin by the side of Edom, and your limit on the south will be from the east end of the Salt Sea,

Ye shall therefore have a south corner, from the desert of Zin, on the side of Edom, —so shall ye have a south boundary, from the end of the salt sea, eastward:

4 And round to the south of the slope of Akrabbim, and on to Zin: and its direction will be south of Kadesh-barnea, and it will go as far as Hazar-addar and on to Azmon:

and the boundary shall go round for you from the south towards the cliffs of Akrabbim, then cross over towards Zin, and the extension thereof shall be from the south to Kadesh-barnea, then shall it reach out to Hazar-addar, and cross over towards Azmon;

5 And from Azmon it will go round to the stream of Egypt as far as the sea.

then shall the boundary turn round from Azmon towards the ravine of Egypt, —and the extension thereof shall be towards the sea.

6 And for your limit on the west you will have the Great Sea and its edge: this will be your limit on the west.

And, for a west boundary, —ye shall have the great sea, even a boundary, this, shall serve you as west boundary.

7 And your limit on the north will be the line from the Great Sea to Mount Hor:

And, this, shall serve you as a north boundary, —From the great sea, ye shall draw a line for you to Mount Hor:

8 And from Mount Hor the line will go in the direction of Hamath; the farthest point of it will be at Zedad:

From Mount Hor, ye shall draw a line to the entering in of Hamath, —and the extension of the boundary shall be towards Zedad:

9 And the limit will go on to Ziphron, with its farthest point at Hazar-enan: this will be your limit on the north.

then shall the boundary reach out towards Ziphron, and the extension thereof, be to Hazar-enan. This, shall serve you as a north, boundary.

10 And on the east, your limit will be marked out from Hazar-enan to Shepham,

Then shall ye draw for yourselves a line, for an east boundary, —from Hazar-enan towards Shepham;

11 Going down from Shepham to Riblah on the east side of Ain, and on as far as the east side of the sea of Chinnereth:

and the boundary shall go down from Shepham towards Riblah, on the east of Ain—then shall the boundary go down and strike on the side of the Sea of Chinnereth, eastward:

12 And so down to Jordan, stretching to the Salt Sea: all the land inside these limits will be yours.

then shall the boundary go down towards the Jordan, and the extension thereof be to the salt sea. This shall be your land by the boundaries thereof round about.

13 And Moses gave orders to the children of Israel saying, This is the land which is to be your heritage, by the decision of the Lord, which by the Lord's order is to be given to the nine tribes and the half-tribe:

And Moses commanded the sons of Israel saying, —This, is the land, which ye shall inherit by lot, which Yahweh had commanded to be given to the nine tribes and the half tribe.

14 For the tribe of the children of Reuben, by their fathers' families, and the tribe of the children of Gad, by their fathers' families, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, have been given their heritage:

For the tribe of the sons of the Reubenites by their ancestral house, and the tribe of the sons of Gad, by their ancestral house, have received, and, the half tribe of Manasseh have received, their inheritance:

15 The two tribes and the half-tribe have been given their heritage on the other side of Jordan at Jericho, on the east looking to the dawn.

the two tribes, and the half tribe, have received their inheritance—on this side Jordan near Jericho, eastwards, towards sunrise.

16 And the Lord said to Moses,

Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying:

17 These are the names of the men who are to make the distribution of the land among you: Eleazar the priest and Joshua, the son of Nun.

These, are the names of the men who shall receive for you the land, as an inheritance, Eleazar, the priest, and Joshua, son of Nun.

18 And you are to take one chief from every tribe to make the distribution of the land.

Also, one prince from each tribe, shall ye take to receive the land, as an inheritance.

19 And these are the names of the men: of the tribe of Judah, Caleb, the son of Jephunneh.

These, therefore, are the names of the men, —For the tribe of Judah, Caleb son of Jephunneh;

20 And of the tribe of the children of Simeon, Shemuel, the son of Ammihud.

And, for the tribe of the sons of Simeon, Shemuel son of Ammihud:

21 Of the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad, the son of Chislon.

For the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad son of Chislon;

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

And, for the tribe of the sons of Dan, a prince—Bukki, son of Jogli:

23 Of the children of Joseph: of the tribe of the children of Manasseh, a chief, Hanniel, the son of Ephod:

For the sons of Joseph, For the tribe of the sons of Manasseh, a prince, —Hanniel son of Ephod;

24 And of the tribe of the children of Ephraim, a chief, Kemuel, the son of Shiphtan.

And, for the tribe of the sons of Ephraim, a prince, —Kemuel, son of Shiphtan;

25 And of the tribe of the children of Zebulun, a chief, Elizaphan, the son of Parnach.

And, for the tribe of the sons of Zebulun, a prince, —Elizaphan, son of Parnach;

26 And of the tribe of the children of Issachar, a chief, Paltiel, the son of Azzan.

And, for the tribe of the sons of Issachar, a prince, —Paltiel son of Azzan;

27 And of the tribe of the children of Asher, a chief, Ahihud, the son of Shelomi.

And, for the tribe of the sons of Asher, a prince, —Ahihud son of Shelomi:

28 And of the tribe of the children of Naphtali, a chief, Pedahel, the son of Ammihud.

And, for the tribe of the sons of Naphtali, a prince, —Pedahel, son of Ammihud.

29 These are they to whom the Lord gave orders to make the distribution of the heritage among the children of Israel in the land of Canaan.

These, are they whom Yahweh hath commanded to receive for the sons of Israel their inheritance, in the land of Canaan.
