Numbers 34

1 Yahweh spoke to Moses and said,

And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,

2 “Command the people of Israel and say to them, 'When you enter the land of Canaan, the land that will belong to you, the land of Canaan and its borders,

Command the children of Israel, and say unto them, When all of you come into the land of Canaan; (this is the land that shall fall unto you for an inheritance, even the land of Canaan with the coasts thereof: )

3 your southern border will extend from the wilderness of Zin along the border of Edom. The eastern end of the southern border will be on a line that ends at the southern end of the Salt Sea.

Then your south quarter shall be from the wilderness of Zin along by the coast of Edom, and your south border shall be the utmost coast of the salt sea eastward:

4 Your border will turn south from the hill of Akrabbim and pass along through the wilderness of Zin. From there, it will run south of Kadesh Barnea and continue to Hazar Addar and further to Azmon.

And your border shall turn from the south to the ascent of Akrabbim, and pass on to Zin: and the going forth thereof shall be from the south to Kadeshbarnea, and shall go on to Hazaraddar, and pass on to Azmon:

5 From there, the border will turn from Azmon toward the brook of Egypt and follow it to the sea.

And the border shall fetch a compass from Azmon unto the river of Egypt, and the activities out of it shall be at the sea.

6 The western border will be the coastline of the Great Sea. This will be your western border.

And as for the western border, all of you shall even have the great sea for a border: this shall be your west border.

7 Your northern border will extend along a line that you must mark out from the Great Sea to Mount Hor,

And this shall be your north border: from the great sea all of you shall point out for you mount Hor:

8 then from Mount Hor to Lebo Hamath, then on to Zedad.

From mount Hor all of you shall point out your border unto the entrance of Hamath; and the activities out of the border shall be to Zedad:

9 Then the border will continue to Ziphron and end at Hazar Enan. This will be your northern border.

And the border shall go on to Ziphron, and the activities out of it shall be at Hazarenan: this shall be your north border.

10 Then you must mark out your eastern border from Hazar Enan south to Shepham.

And all of you shall point out your east border from Hazarenan to Shepham:

11 Then the eastern border will go down from Shepham to Riblah, on the east side of Ain. The border will continue along the east side of the Sea of Kinnereth.

And the coast shall go down from Shepham to Riblah, on the east side of Ain; and the border shall descend, and shall reach unto the side of the sea of Chinnereth eastward:

12 Then the border will continue south along the Jordan River to the Salt Sea and continue down the eastern border of the Salt Sea. This will be your land, following its borders all around.'”

And the border shall go down to Jordan, and the activities out of it shall be at the salt sea: this shall be your land with the coasts thereof round about.

13 Then Moses commanded the people of Israel and said, “This is the land that you will receive by lot, which Yahweh has commanded to give to the nine tribes and to the half tribe.

And Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying, This is the land which all of you shall inherit by lot, which the LORD commanded to give unto the nine tribes, and to the half tribe:

14 The tribe of the descendants of Reuben, following the assignment of property to their ancestor's tribe, and the tribe of the descendants of Gad, following the assignment of property to their ancestor's tribe, and the half tribe of Manasseh have all received their land.

For the tribe of the children of Reuben according to the house of their fathers, and the tribe of the children of Gad according to the house of their fathers, have received their inheritance; and half the tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance:

15 The two tribes and the half tribe have received their share of land beyond the Jordan at Jericho eastward, toward the sunrise.”

The two tribes and the half tribe have received their inheritance on this side Jordan near Jericho eastward, toward the sunrising.

16 Yahweh spoke to Moses and said,

And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,

17 “These are the names of the men who will divide the land for your inheritance: Eleazar the priest and Joshua son of Nun.

These are the names of the men which shall divide the land unto you: Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun.

18 You must choose one leader from every tribe to divide the land for their clans.

And all of you shall take one prince of every tribe, to divide the land by inheritance.

19 These are the names of the men: From the tribe of Judah, Caleb son of Jephunneh.

And the names of the men are these: Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh.

20 From the tribe of the descendants of Simeon, Shemuel son of Ammihud.

And of the tribe of the children of Simeon, Shemuel the son of Ammihud.

21 From the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad son of Kislon.

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

22 From of the tribe of the descendants of Dan a leader, Bukki son of Jogli.

And the prince of the tribe of the children of Dan, Bukki the son of Jogli.

23 From the descendants of Joseph, of the tribe of the descendants of Manasseh a leader, Hanniel son of Ephod.

The prince of the children of Joseph, for the tribe of the children of Manasseh, Hanniel the son of Ephod.

24 From the tribe of the descendants of Ephraim a leader, Kemuel son of Shiphtan.

And the prince of the tribe of the children of Ephraim, Kemuel the son of Shiphtan.

25 From the tribe of the descendants of Zebulun a leader, Elizaphan son of Parnak.

29 Yahweh commanded these men to divide the land of Canaan and to give each of the tribes of Israel their share.

These are they whom the LORD commanded to divide the inheritance unto the children of Israel in the land of Canaan.
