Numbers 34

1 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

2 “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—

Charge the children of Israel, and you shall say to them, You are entering into the land of Chanaan: it shall be to you for an inheritance, the land of Chanaan with its boundaries.

3 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;

And your southern side shall be from the wilderness of Sin to the border of Edom, and your border southward shall extend on the side of the salt sea eastward.

4 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;

And your border shall go round you from the south to the ascent of Acrabin, and shall proceed by Ennac, and the going forth of it shall be southward to Cades Barne, and it shall go forth to the village of Arad, and shall proceed by Asemona.

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

And the border shall compass from Asemona to the river of Egypt, and the sea shall be the termination.

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

And you shall have your border on the west, the great sea shall be the boundary: this shall be to you the border on the west.

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

And this shall be your northern border; from the great sea you shall measure to yourselves, by the side of the mountain.

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

And you shall measure to yourselves the mountain from mount [Hor] at the entering in to Emath, and the termination of it shall be the coasts of Saradac.

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

And the border shall go out to Dephrona, and its termination shall be at Arsenain; this shall be your border from the north.

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

And you shall measure to yourselves the eastern border from Arsenain to Sepphamar.

11 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;

And the border shall go down from Sepphamar to Bela eastward to the fountains, and the border shall go down from Bela behind the sea Chenereth eastward.

12 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.”

And the border shall go down to Jordan, and the termination shall be the salt sea; this shall be your land and its borders round about.

13 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;

And Moses charged the children of Israel, saying, This [is] the land which you shall inherit by lot, even as the Lord commanded us to give it to the nine tribes and the half-tribe of Manasse.

14 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;

For the tribe of the children of Ruben, and the tribe of the children of Gad have received [their inheritance] according to their families; and the half-tribe of Manasse have received their inheritances.

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

Two tribes and half a tribe have received their inheritance beyond Jordan by Jericho from the south eastwards.

16 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

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

These [are] the names of the men who shall divide the land to you for an inheritance; Eleazar the priest and Joshua the [son] of Naue.

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

And you shall take one ruler from [each] tribe to divide the land to you by lot.

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