Numbers 34

1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

And the Lord said to Moses,

2 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:

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, )

3 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:

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,

4 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.

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:

5 And the limits shall fetch a compass from Asemona to the torrent of Egypt, and shall end in the shore of the great sea.

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

6 And the west side shall begin from the great sea, and the same shall be the end thereof.

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

7 But toward the north side the borders shall begin from the great sea, reaching to the most high mountain,

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

8 From which they shall come to Emath, as far as the borders of Sedada:

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

9 And the limits shall go as far as Zephrona, and the village of Enan. These shall be the borders on the north side.

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

10 From thence they shall mark out the bounds towards the east side from the village of Enan unto Sephama.

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

11 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,

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:

12 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.

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

13 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.

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:

14 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,

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:

15 That is, two tribes and a half, have received their portion beyond the Jordan over against Jericho at the east side.

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.

16 And the Lord said to Moses:

And the Lord said to Moses,

17 These are the names of the men, that shall divide the land unto you: Eleazar the priest, and Josue the son of Nun,

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.

18 And one prince of every tribe,

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

19 Whose names are these: Of the tribe of Juda, Caleb the son of Jephone.

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

20 Of the tribe of Simeon, Samuel the son of Ammiud.

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

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

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

22 Of the tribe of the children of Dan, Bocci the son of Jogli.

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

23 Of the children of Joseph of the tribe of Manasses, Hanniel the son of Ephod.

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

24 Of the tribe of Ephraim, Camuel the son of Sephtan.

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

25 Of the tribe of Zabulon, Elisaphan the son of Pharnach.

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

29 These are they whom the Lord hath commanded to divide the land of Chanaan to the children of Israel.

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.
