Numbers 34

1 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,

Adonai spoke to Moses [Drawn out], 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—

“Enjoin the children of Israel [God prevails], and tell them, ‘When you come into the land of Canaan [Humbled] (this is the land that shall fall to you for an inheritance, even the land of Canaan [Humbled] according to its borders),

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;

then your south quarter shall be from the wilderness of Zin along by the side of Edom [Red], and your south border shall be from the end 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;

Your border shall turn about southward of the ascent of Akrabbim, and pass along to Zin; and it shall pass southward of Kadesh Barnea [Consecrated Son-inconstant]; and it shall go from there to Hazar Addar, and pass along to Azmon.

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

The border shall turn about from Azmon to the brook of Egypt [Abode of slavery], and it shall end at the sea.

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

“‘For the western border, you shall have the Great Sea [Mediterranean Sea, Inland Sea] and its border. This shall be your west border.

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

“‘This shall be your north border: from the Great Sea [Mediterranean Sea, Inland Sea] you shall mark out for yourselves Mount Hor.

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

From Mount Hor you shall mark out to the entrance of Hamath; and the border shall pass by Zedad.

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

Then the border shall go to Ziphron, and it shall end at Hazar Enan. This shall be your north border.

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

“‘You shall mark out your east border from Hazar Enan to Shepham.

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;

The border shall go down from Shepham to Riblah, on the east side of Ain. The border shall go down, and shall reach to the side of the sea of Chinnereth 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.”

The border shall go down to the Jordan [Descender], and end at the Salt Sea. This shall be your land according to its borders around it.’”

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;

Moses [Drawn out] enjoined the children of Israel [God prevails], saying, “This is the land which you shall inherit by lot, which Adonai has enjoined to give to the nine tribes, and to the half-tribe;

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 Reuben [See, a son!] according to their fathers’ houses, and the tribe of the children of Gad [Good fortune] according to their fathers’ houses, have received, and the half-tribe of Manasseh [Causing to forget] have received, their inheritance.

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

The two tribes and the half-tribe have received their inheritance beyond the Jordan [Descender] at Jericho [Fragrant, Moon] eastward, toward the sunrise.”

16 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,

Adonai spoke to Moses [Drawn out], 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 inheritance: Eleazar [Help of God] the priest, and Joshua [Yah Salvation] the son of Nun.

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

You shall take one prince of every tribe, to divide the land for inheritance.
