Numbers 34

1 And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying:

Then the LORD said to Moses,

2 Command the sons of Israel, and thou shalt say unto them, When, ye, are coming into the land of Canaan, this is the land which shall fall unto you, as an inheritance, even the land of Canaan, by the boundaries thereof.

“Command the Israelites and say to them: When you enter the land of Canaan, it will be allotted to you as an inheritance with these boundaries:

3 Ye shall therefore have a south corner, from the desert of Zin, on the side of Edom, —so shall ye have a south boundary, from the end of the salt sea, eastward:

Your southern border will extend from the Wilderness of Zin along the border of Edom. On the east, your southern border will run from the end of the Salt Sea,

4 and the boundary shall go round for you from the south towards the cliffs of Akrabbim, then cross over towards Zin, and the extension thereof shall be from the south to Kadesh-barnea, then shall it reach out to Hazar-addar, and cross over towards Azmon;

cross south of the Ascent of Akrabbim, continue to Zin, and go south of Kadesh-barnea. Then it will go on to Hazar-addar and proceed to Azmon,

5 then shall the boundary turn round from Azmon towards the ravine of Egypt, —and the extension thereof shall be towards the sea.

where it will turn from Azmon, join the Brook of Egypt, and end at the Sea.

6 And, for a west boundary, —ye shall have the great sea, even a boundary, this, shall serve you as west boundary.

Your western border will be the coastline of the Great Sea; this will be your boundary on the west.

7 And, this, shall serve you as a north boundary, —From the great sea, ye shall draw a line for you to Mount Hor:

Your northern border will run from the Great Sea directly to Mount Hor,

8 From Mount Hor, ye shall draw a line to the entering in of Hamath, —and the extension of the boundary shall be towards Zedad:

and from Mount Hor to Lebo-hamath, then extend to Zedad,

9 then shall the boundary reach out towards Ziphron, and the extension thereof, be to Hazar-enan. This, shall serve you as a north, boundary.

continue to Ziphron, and end at Hazar-enan. This will be your boundary on the north.

10 Then shall ye draw for yourselves a line, for an east boundary, —from Hazar-enan towards Shepham;

And your eastern border will run straight from Hazar-enan to Shepham,

11 and the boundary shall go down from Shepham towards Riblah, on the east of Ain—then shall the boundary go down and strike on the side of the Sea of Chinnereth, eastward:

then go down from Shepham to Riblah on the east side of Ain and continue along the slopes east of the Sea of Chinnereth.

12 then shall the boundary go down towards the Jordan, and the extension thereof be to the salt sea. This shall be your land by the boundaries thereof round about.

Then the border will go down along the Jordan and end at the Salt Sea. This will be your land, defined by its borders on all sides.”

13 And Moses commanded the sons of Israel saying, —This, is the land, which ye shall inherit by lot, which Yahweh had commanded to be given to the nine tribes and the half tribe.

So Moses commanded the Israelites, “Apportion this land by lot as an inheritance. The LORD has commanded that it be given to the nine and a half tribes.

14 For the tribe of the sons of the Reubenites by their ancestral house, and the tribe of the sons of Gad, by their ancestral house, have received, and, the half tribe of Manasseh have received, their inheritance:

For the tribes of the Reubenites and Gadites, along with the half-tribe of Manasseh, have already received their inheritance.

15 the two tribes, and the half tribe, have received their inheritance—on this side Jordan near Jericho, eastwards, towards sunrise.

These two and a half tribes have received their inheritance across the Jordan from Jericho, toward the sunrise.”

16 Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying:

Then the LORD said to Moses,

17 These, are the names of the men who shall receive for you the land, as an inheritance, Eleazar, the priest, and Joshua, son of Nun.

“These are the names of the men who are to assign the land as an inheritance for you: Eleazar the priest and Joshua son of Nun.

18 Also, one prince from each tribe, shall ye take to receive the land, as an inheritance.

Appoint one leader from each tribe to distribute the land.

19 These, therefore, are the names of the men, —For the tribe of Judah, Caleb son of Jephunneh;

These are their names: Caleb son of Jephunneh from the tribe of Judah;

20 And, for the tribe of the sons of Simeon, Shemuel son of Ammihud:

Shemuel son of Ammihud from the tribe of Simeon;

21 For the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad son of Chislon;

Elidad son of Chislon from the tribe of Benjamin;

22 And, for the tribe of the sons of Dan, a prince—Bukki, son of Jogli:

Bukki son of Jogli, a leader from the tribe of Dan;

23 For the sons of Joseph, For the tribe of the sons of Manasseh, a prince, —Hanniel son of Ephod;

Hanniel son of Ephod, a leader from the tribe of Manasseh son of Joseph;

24 And, for the tribe of the sons of Ephraim, a prince, —Kemuel, son of Shiphtan;

Kemuel son of Shiphtan, a leader from the tribe of Ephraim;

25 And, for the tribe of the sons of Zebulun, a prince, —Elizaphan, son of Parnach;

Eli-zaphan son of Parnach, a leader from the tribe of Zebulun;

26 And, for the tribe of the sons of Issachar, a prince, —Paltiel son of Azzan;

Paltiel son of Azzan, a leader from the tribe of Issachar;

27 And, for the tribe of the sons of Asher, a prince, —Ahihud son of Shelomi:

Ahihud son of Shelomi, a leader from the tribe of Asher;

28 And, for the tribe of the sons of Naphtali, a prince, —Pedahel, son of Ammihud.

and Pedahel son of Ammihud, a leader from the tribe of Naphtali.”

29 These, are they whom Yahweh hath commanded to receive for the sons of Israel their inheritance, in the land of Canaan.

These are the ones whom the LORD commanded to apportion the inheritance to the Israelites in the land of Canaan.
