Numbers 34

1 And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying:

Adonai spoke to Moses [Drawn out], 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.

“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 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:

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 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;

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

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

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

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

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

“‘You shall mark out your east border 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:

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 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.

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 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.

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 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 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 tribe, have received their inheritance—on this side Jordan near Jericho, eastwards, towards sunrise.

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

16 Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying:

Adonai spoke to Moses [Drawn out], saying,

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 shall divide the land to you for inheritance: Eleazar [Help of God] the priest, and Joshua [Salvation Yah] the son of Nun.

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

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

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

These are the names of the men: Of the tribe of Judah [Praised], Caleb the son of Jephunneh.

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

Of the tribe of the children of Simeon [Hearing], Shemuel the son of Ammihud.

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

Of the tribe of Benjamin [Son of right hand, Son of south], Elidad the son of Chislon.

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

Of the tribe of the children of Dan [He judged] a prince, Bukki 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 [May he add]: of the tribe of the children of Manasseh [Causing to forget] a prince, 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 the children of Ephraim [Fruit] a prince, Kemuel the son of Shiphtan.

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

Of the tribe of the children of Zebulun [Living together] a prince, Elizaphan the son of Parnach.

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

Of the tribe of the children of Issachar [Hire, Reward] a prince, Paltiel the son of Azzan.

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

Of the tribe of the children of Asher [Happy] a prince, Ahihud the son of Shelomi.

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

Of the tribe of the children of Naphtali [My wrestling] a prince, Pedahel the son of Ammihud.”

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 Adonai enjoined to divide the inheritance to the children of Israel [God prevails] in the land of Canaan [Humbled].
