Numbers 34

1 Yahweh spoke to Moses and said,

And the Lord spoke to 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,

Charge the children of Israel, and you shall say to them, You are entering into the land of Chanaan: it shall be to you for an inheritance, the land of Chanaan with its boundaries.

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.

And your southern side shall be from the wilderness of Sin to the border of Edom, and your border southward shall extend on the side 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 go round you from the south to the ascent of Acrabin, and shall proceed by Ennac, and the going forth of it shall be southward to Cades Barne, and it shall go forth to the village of Arad, and shall proceed by Asemona.

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

And the border shall compass from Asemona to the river of Egypt, and the sea shall be the termination.

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

And you shall have your border on the west, the great sea shall be the boundary: this shall be to you the border on the west.

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 northern border; from the great sea you shall measure to yourselves, by the side of the mountain.

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

And you shall measure to yourselves the mountain from mount [Hor] at the entering in to Emath, and the termination of it shall be the coasts of Saradac.

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

And the border shall go out to Dephrona, and its termination shall be at Arsenain; this shall be your border from the north.

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

And you shall measure to yourselves the eastern border from Arsenain to Sepphamar.

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 border shall go down from Sepphamar to Bela eastward to the fountains, and the border shall go down from Bela behind the sea Chenereth 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 termination shall be the salt sea; this shall be your land and its borders 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 charged the children of Israel, saying, This [is] the land which you shall inherit by lot, even as the Lord commanded us to give it to the nine tribes and the half-tribe of Manasse.

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 Ruben, and the tribe of the children of Gad have received [their inheritance] according to their families; and the half-tribe of Manasse have received their inheritances.

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

Two tribes and half a tribe have received their inheritance beyond Jordan by Jericho from the south eastwards.

16 Yahweh spoke to Moses and said,

And the Lord spoke to 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 who shall divide the land to you for an inheritance; Eleazar the priest and Joshua the [son] of Naue.

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

And you shall take one ruler from [each] tribe to divide the land to you by lot.

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

And these [are] the names of the men; of the tribe of Juda Chaleb the son of Jephonne.

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

Of the tribe of Symeon, Salamiel the son of Semiud.

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

Of the tribe of Benjamin, Eldad the son of Chaslon.

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

Of the tribe of Dan the prince [was] Bacchir the son of Egli.

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

Of the sons of Joseph of the tribe of the sons of Manasse, the prince was Aniel the son of Suphi.

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

Of the tribe of the sons of Ephraim, the prince was Camuel the son of Sabathan.

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

Of the tribe of Zabulon, the prince was Elisaphan the son of Pharnac.

26 From the tribe of the descendants of Issachar a leader, Paltiel son of Azzan.

Of the tribe of the sons of Issachar, the prince was Phaltiel the son of Oza.

27 From the tribe of the descendants of Asher a leader, Ahihud son of Shelomi.

Of the tribe of the children of Aser, the prince was Achior the son of Selemi.

28 From the tribe of the descendants of Naphtali a leader, Pedahel son of Ammihud.”

Of the tribe of Nephthali, the prince was Phadael the son of Jamiud.

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

These did the Lord command to distribute [the inheritances] to the children of Israel in the land of Chanaan.
