Numbers 34

1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,

2 “Instruct the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them: When you will have entered into the land of Canaan, and it has fallen into your possession by lot, it shall be bound by these limits:

“Command the sons of Israel, and you have said to them: When you are coming into the land of Canaan—this [is] the land which falls to you by inheritance, the land of Canaan, by its borders—

3 The southern part shall begin from the wilderness of Sin, which is next to Edom, and it shall have the Sea of Salt as a limit to the east.

then the south quarter has been to you from the wilderness of Zin, by the sides of Edom, indeed, the south border has been to you from the extremity of the Salt Sea eastward;

4 It shall circle on the south side along the ascent of the Scorpion, by this way crossing into Senna, and passing through, from the south, as far as Kadesh-barnea, from which its confines shall go out to the town called Adar, and extend even to Azmon.

and the border has turned around to you from the south to the ascent of Akrabbim, and has passed on to Zin, and its outgoings have been from the south to Kadesh-Barnea, and it has gone out at Hazar-Addar, and has passed on to Azmon;

5 And its limits shall go around from Azmon to the Torrent of Egypt, and shall end at the shore of the Great Sea.

and the border has turned around from Azmon to the Brook of Egypt, and its outgoings have been at the sea.

6 Then the western region shall begin from the Great Sea, and the same shall be its end.

As for the west border, even the Great Sea has been a border to you; this is the west border to you.

7 Furthermore, toward the northern region, its limits shall begin from the Great Sea, passing through even to the highest mountain.

And this is the north border to you: from the Great Sea you mark out for yourselves Mount Hor;

8 From there, it limits shall advance into Hamath, as far as the limits of Zedad.

from Mount Hor you mark out to go to Hamath, and the outgoings of the border have been to Zedad;

9 And its confines shall go all the way to Ziphron, and to the village of Enan. These shall be the limits on the northern side.

and the border has gone out to Ziphron, and its outgoings have been at Hazar-Enan; this is the north border to you.

10 From there, its limits shall be measured, facing the east side, from the village of Enan as far as Shepham.

And you have marked out for yourselves for the border eastward, from Hazar-Enan to Shepham;

11 And from Shepham, the boundaries shall descend into Riblah, opposite the fountain of Daphnis. From there, the boundaries shall pass through, opposite the east, to the Sea of Chinnereth,

and the border has gone down from Shepham to Riblah, on the east of Ain, and the border has gone down, and has struck against the shoulder of the Sea of Chinnereth eastward;

12 and shall extend as far as the Jordan, and, at the furthest extent, shall be enclosed by the Sea of Salt. You shall have this land, with its borders all around.”

and the border has gone down to the Jordan, and its outgoings have been at the Salt Sea; this is the land for you by its borders all around.”

13 And Moses instructed the sons of Israel, saying: “This shall be the land which you shall possess by lot, and which the Lord has ordered to be given to the nine tribes, and to the half tribe.

And Moses commands the sons of Israel, saying, “This [is] the land which you inherit by lot, which YHWH has commanded to give to the nine tribes and the half of the tribe;

14 For the tribe of the sons of Ruben, by their families, and the tribe of the sons of Gad, according to the number of their kinships, and also one half of the tribe of Manasseh,

for the tribe of the sons of Reuben, by the house of their fathers, and the tribe of the children of Gad, by the house of their fathers, have received [their inheritance]; and [those of] the half of the tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance;

15 that is, two and a half tribes, have received their portion across the Jordan, opposite Jericho, toward the eastern side.”

the two tribes and the half of the tribe have received their inheritance beyond the Jordan, [near] Jericho, eastward, at the [sun]-rising.”

16 And the Lord said to Moses:

And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,

17 “These are the names of the men, who shall divide the land for you: Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun,

“These [are] the names of the men who give the inheritance of the land to you: Eleazar the priest and Joshua son of Nun.

18 and one leader from each tribe,

And one prince—you take one prince from a tribe to give the land by inheritance.

19 whose names are these: from the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh;

And these [are] the names of the men: of the tribe of Judah, Caleb son of Jephunneh;

20 from the tribe of Simeon, Samuel the son of Ammihud;

and of the tribe of the sons of Simeon, Shemuel son of Aminihud;

21 from the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad the son of Chislon;

of the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad son of Chislon;

22 from the tribe of the sons of Dan, Bukki the son of Jogli;

and a prince of the tribe of the sons of Dan, Bukki son of Jogli;

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

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

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

and a prince of the tribe of the sons of Ephraim, Kemuel son of Shiphtan;

25 from the tribe of Zebulon, Elizaphan the son of Parnach;

and a prince of the tribe of the sons of Zebulun, Elizaphan son of Parnach;

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

and a prince of the tribe of the sons of Issachar, Paltiel son of Azzan;

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

and a prince of the tribe of the sons of Asher, Ahihud son of Shelomi;

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

and a prince of the tribe of the sons of Naphtali, Pedahel son of Ammihud.”

29 These are the ones that the Lord has ordered to divide the land of Canaan to the sons of Israel.

These [are] those whom YHWH has commanded to give the sons of Israel inheritance in the land of Canaan.
