Numbers 34

1 And the LORD spoke unto 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 unto you for an inheritance, even 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 Thus your south side shall be from the wilderness of Zin close by the side of Edom, and your south border shall begin at 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 about southward of the ascent of Akrabbim, and pass along to Zin; and the goings out thereof shall be southward of Kadesh-barnea; and it shall go forth to Hazar-addar, and pass along 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 about from Azmon unto the Brook of Egypt, and the goings out thereof shall be 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 for the western border, ye shall have the Great Sea for a border; 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 your line unto 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 a line unto the entrance to Hamath; and the goings out of the border shall be at Zedad;

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

9 and the border shall go forth to Ziphron, and the goings out thereof shall be 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 your line for the east 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 go down, and shall strike upon the slope 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 the goings out thereof shall be 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 wherein ye shall receive inheritance by lot, which the LORD hath commanded to give unto 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 Reuben according to their fathers' houses, and the tribe of the children of Gad according to their fathers' houses, have received, and the half-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 beyond the Jordan at 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 the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:

And the Lord said to Moses:

17 'These are the names of the men that shall take possession of the land for 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 take possession of the land.

And one prince of every tribe,

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

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