Numbers 34
1 Yahweh said to Moses/me,
And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Tell this to the Israeli people: You will soon enter Canaan land, and it will become yours. These will be the borders of the land:
Command the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land of Canaan, this shall be the land that shall fall to you for an inheritance, the land of Canaan according to the borders thereof.
3 On the south you will receive part of the Zin Desert, near the border of the Edom [region]. On the east side, the border will start at the south end of the Dead Sea.
Then your south side shall be from the wilderness of Zin alongside of Edom, and your southern border shall be from the end of the salt sea eastward;
4 It will extend to a little south of the Scorpion Pass, and extend [west] through [the] Zin [Desert] and south of Kadesh-Barnea. From there it will extend to Hazar Addar and from there to Azmon.
and your border shall turn from the south of the ascent of Akrabbim, and pass on to Zin, and shall end southward at Kadesh-barnea, and shall go on to Hazar-Addar, and pass on to Azmon.
5 From Azmon it will extend [west] to the dry riverbed [at the border] of Egypt and then to the [Mediterranean] Sea.
And the border shall turn from Azmon unto the torrent of Egypt, and shall end at the sea.
6 The border on the west will be the Mediterranean Sea.
And as west border ye shall have the great sea, and [its] coast. This shall be your west border.
7 The border on the north will start from the Mediterranean Sea and extend [east] to Hor Mountain.
And this shall be your north border: from the great sea ye shall mark out for you mount Hor;
8 From there it will extend to Lebo-Hamath and then to Zedad.
from mount Hor ye shall mark out the entrance to Hamath, and the end of the border shall be toward Zedad;
9 From there the border will extend to Ziphron, and it will end at Hazar-Enan.
and the border shall go to Ziphron, and shall end at Hazar-enan. This shall be your north border.
10 The border on the east will start at Hazar-Enan and extend [south] to Shepham.
And ye shall mark out for you as eastern border from Hazar-enan to Shepham:
11 From there it will extend east of Ain to Riblah and then along the hills that are east of Galilee Lake.
and the border shall go down from Shepham to Riblah, on the east side of Ain; and the border shall descend, and shall strike upon the extremity of the sea of Chinnereth eastward;
12 Then the border will extend south along the Jordan [River] and end at the Dead Sea. Those will be the borders around your country.”
and the border shall go down to the Jordan, and shall end at the salt sea. This shall be your land according to the borders thereof round about.
13 So Moses/I [told all that] to the Israeli people. Then he/I said to them, “That is the land that you will receive. You must throw (lots/stones that have been marked) to decide which area will go to each of the nine and a half tribes, because Yahweh has commanded that it should be divided among them.
And Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying, This is the land which ye shall take for yourselves as inheritance by lot, which Jehovah commanded to give to the nine tribes, and to the half tribe.
14 The tribes of Reuben, Gad, and half of the tribe of Manasseh have already received the land in which they will live.
For the tribe of the children of the Reubenites according to their fathers' houses, and the tribe of the children of the Gadites according to their fathers' houses, have received, and half the tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance;
15 They have received land on the east side of the Jordan [River], across from Jericho.”
the two tribes and the half tribe have received their inheritance on this side the Jordan of Jericho eastward, toward the sun-rising.
16 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
17 “These are the men who will divide the land: First, Eleazar and Joshua.
These are the names of the men who shall divide the land unto you: Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun.
18 But one leader [from each of the twelve tribes will help them divide the land].
And ye shall take one prince of every tribe, to divide the land.
19 “From the tribe of Judah, appoint Jephunneh’s son Caleb. From the tribe of Simeon appoint Ammihud’s son Shemuel. From the tribe of Benjamin appoint Kislon’s son Elidad. From the tribe of Dan appoint Jogli’s son Bukki. From the tribe of Manasseh appoint Ephod’s son Hanniel. From the tribe of Ephraim appoint Shiphtan’s son Kemuel. From the tribe of Zebulun appoint Parnach’s son Elizaphan. From the tribe of Issachar appoint Azzan’s son Paltiel. From the tribe of Asher appoint Shelomi’s son Ahihud. From the tribe of Naphtali appoint Ammihud’s son Pedahel.”
And these are the names of the men: for the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh;
and for the tribe of the children of Simeon, Samuel the son of Ammihud;
for the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad the son of Chislon;
and for the tribe of the children of Dan, a prince, Bukki the son of Jogli;
for the children of Joseph: for the tribe of the children of Manasseh, a prince, Hanniel the son of Ephod,
and for the tribe of the children of Ephraim, a prince, Kemuel the son of Shiphtan;
and for the tribe of the children of Zebulun, a prince, Elizaphan the son of Pharnach;
and for the tribe of the children of Issachar, a prince, Phaltiel the son of Azzan;
and for the tribe of the children of Asher, a prince, Ahihud the son of Shelomi;
and for the tribe of the children of Naphtali, a prince, Phedahel the son of Ammihud.
29 Yahweh commanded that all those were the men who should divide the Canaan region among the Israeli people.
These are they whom Jehovah commanded to distribute to the children of Israel their inheritance in the land of Canaan.
