< Numbers 34 >
1 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 Command the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land of Canaan, this shall be the land that shall fall to you for an inheritance, the land of Canaan according to the borders thereof.
Command the children of Israel, and then shalt say to them: When you are entered into the land of Chanaan, and it shall be fallen into your possession by lot, it shall be bounded by these limits:
3 Then your south side shall be from the wilderness of Zin alongside of Edom, and your southern border shall be from the end of the salt sea eastward;
The south side shall begin from the wilderness of Sin, which is by Edom: and shall have the most salt sea for its furthest limits eastward:
4 and your border shall turn from the south of the ascent of Akrabbim, and pass on to Zin, and shall end southward at Kadesh-barnea, and shall go on to Hazar-Addar, and pass on to Azmon.
Which limits shall go round on the south side by the ascent of the Scorpion and so into Senna, and reach toward the south as far as Cadesbarne, from whence the frontiers shall go out to the town called Adar, and shall reach as far as Asemona.
5 And the border shall turn from Azmon unto the torrent of Egypt, and shall end at the sea.
And the limits shall fetch a compass from Asemona to the torrent of Egypt, and shall end in the shore of the great sea.
6 And as west border ye shall have the great sea, and [its] coast. This shall be your west border.
And the west side shall begin from the great sea, and the same shall be the end thereof.
7 And this shall be your north border: from the great sea ye shall mark out for you mount Hor;
But toward the north side the borders shall begin from the great sea, reaching to the most high mountain,
8 from mount Hor ye shall mark out the entrance to Hamath, and the end of the border shall be toward Zedad;
From which they shall come to Emath, as far as the borders of Sedada:
9 and the border shall go to Ziphron, and shall end at Hazar-enan. This shall be your north border.
And the limits shall go as far as Zephrona, and the village of Enan. These shall be the borders on the north side.
10 And ye shall mark out for you as eastern border from Hazar-enan to Shepham:
From thence they shall mark out the bounds towards the east side from the village of Enan unto Sephama.
11 and the border shall go down from Shepham to Riblah, on the east side of Ain; and the border shall descend, and shall strike upon the extremity of the sea of Chinnereth eastward;
And from Sephama the bounds shall go down to Rebla over against the fountain of Daphnis: from thence they shall come eastward to the sea of Cenereth,
12 and the border shall go down to the Jordan, and shall end at the salt sea. This shall be your land according to the borders thereof round about.
And shall reach as far as the Jordan, and at the last shall be closed in by the most salt sea. This shall be your land with its borders round about.
13 And Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying, This is the land which ye shall take for yourselves as inheritance by lot, which Jehovah commanded to give to the nine tribes, and to the half tribe.
And Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying: This shall be the land which you shall possess by lot, and which the Lord hath commanded to be given to the nine tribes, and to the half tribe.
14 For the tribe of the children of the Reubenites according to their fathers' houses, and the tribe of the children of the Gadites according to their fathers' houses, have received, and half the tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance;
For the tribe of the children of Ruben by their families, and the tribe of the children of Gad according to the number of their kindreds, and half of the tribe of Manasses,
15 the two tribes and the half tribe have received their inheritance on this side the Jordan of Jericho eastward, toward the sun-rising.
That is, two tribes and a half, have received their portion beyond the Jordan over against Jericho at the east side.
16 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
And the Lord said to Moses:
17 These are the names of the men who shall divide the land unto you: Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun.
These are the names of the men, that shall divide the land unto you: Eleazar the priest, and Josue the son of Nun,
18 And ye shall take one prince of every tribe, to divide the land.
And one prince of every tribe,
19 And these are the names of the men: for the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh;
