Numbers 34

1 And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying:

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

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 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 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:

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 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;

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 then shall the boundary turn round from Azmon towards the ravine of Egypt, —and the extension thereof shall be towards 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 a west boundary, —ye shall have the great sea, even a boundary, this, shall serve you as west boundary.

And the west side shall begin from the great sea, and the same shall be the end thereof.

7 And, this, shall serve you as a north boundary, —From the great sea, ye shall draw a line for you to 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 draw a line to the entering in of Hamath, —and the extension of the boundary shall be towards Zedad:

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

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.

And the limits shall go as far as Zephrona, and the village of Enan. These shall be the borders on the north side.

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

From thence they shall mark out the bounds towards the east side from the village of Enan unto Sephama.

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:

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 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.

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 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.

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 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 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—on this side Jordan near Jericho, eastwards, towards sunrise.

That is, two tribes and a half, have received their portion beyond the Jordan over against Jericho at the east side.

16 Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying:

And 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, that shall divide the land unto you: Eleazar the priest, and Josue the son of Nun,

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

And one prince of every tribe,

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

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

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

Of the tribe of Simeon, Samuel the son of Ammiud.

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

Of the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad the son of Chaselon.

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

Of the tribe of the children of Dan, Bocci the son of Jogli.

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

Of the children of Joseph of the tribe of Manasses, Hanniel the son of Ephod.

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

Of the tribe of Ephraim, Camuel the son of Sephtan.

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

Of the tribe of Zabulon, Elisaphan the son of Pharnach.

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

Of the tribe of Issachar, Phaltiel the prince, the son of Ozan.

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

Of the tribe of Aser, Ahiud the son of Salomi.

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

Of the tribe of Nephtali: Phedael the son of Ammiud.

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

These are they whom the Lord hath commanded to divide the land of Chanaan to the children of Israel.
