Numbers 34
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
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:
“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 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 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 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 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 the limits shall fetch a compass from Asemona to the torrent of Egypt, and shall end in 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 And the west side shall begin from the great sea, and the same shall be the end thereof.
As for the west border, even the Great Sea has been a border to you; this is the west border to you.
7 But toward the north side the borders shall begin from the great sea, reaching to the most high mountain,
And this is the north border to you: from the Great Sea you mark out for yourselves Mount Hor;
8 From which they shall come to Emath, as far as the borders of Sedada:
from Mount Hor you mark out to go to Hamath, and the outgoings of the border have been to 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 border has gone out to Ziphron, and its outgoings have been at Hazar-Enan; this is the north border to you.
10 From thence they shall mark out the bounds towards the east side from the village of Enan unto Sephama.
And you have marked out for yourselves for the border eastward, 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,
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 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 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 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 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 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 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 tribes and a half, have received their portion beyond the Jordan over against Jericho at the east 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, that shall divide the land unto you: Eleazar the priest, and Josue 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 prince of every tribe,
And one prince—you take one prince from a tribe to give the land by inheritance.
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 son of Jephunneh;
20 Of the tribe of Simeon, Samuel the son of Ammiud.
and of the tribe of the sons of Simeon, Shemuel son of Aminihud;
21 Of the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad the son of Chaselon.
of the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad son of Chislon;
22 Of the tribe of the children of Dan, Bocci the son of Jogli.
and a prince of the tribe of the sons of Dan, Bukki son of Jogli;
23 Of the children of Joseph of the tribe of Manasses, 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 Of the tribe of Ephraim, Camuel the son of Sephtan.
and a prince of the tribe of the sons of Ephraim, Kemuel son of Shiphtan;
25 Of the tribe of Zabulon, Elisaphan the son of Pharnach.
and a prince of the tribe of the sons of Zebulun, Elizaphan son of Parnach;
26 Of the tribe of Issachar, Phaltiel the prince, the son of Ozan.
and a prince of the tribe of the sons of Issachar, Paltiel son of Azzan;
27 Of the tribe of Aser, Ahiud the son of Salomi.
and a prince of the tribe of the sons of Asher, Ahihud son of Shelomi;
28 Of the tribe of Nephtali: Phedael the son of Ammiud.
and a prince of the tribe of the sons of Naphtali, Pedahel son of Ammihud.”
29 These are they whom the Lord hath commanded to divide the land of Chanaan to the children of Israel.
These [are] those whom YHWH has commanded to give the sons of Israel inheritance in the land of Canaan.
