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 ye come into the land of Canaan, shall this be the land that shall fall unto you for an inheritance: The land of Canaan according to 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 the southern side shall be unto you from the wilderness of Zin along by the boundary of Edom, and your southern border shall commence at the outmost edge of the Salt Sea on its east side.

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 the border shall turn for you from the south of the ascent of 'Akrabbim, and pass on to Zin; and its terminating points shall be to the south of Kadesh-barnea', and shall go on to Chazar-addar, 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 turn from 'Azmon unto the river of Egypt, and its terminating points 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 the western border, shall ye have the Great Sea for a border: this shall be your western 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 unto you the northern border: from the Great Sea shall ye mark out for you [the boundary to] mount Hor;

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

From mount Hor shall ye mark out [the boundary] unto the entrance of Chamath; and the terminations of the border shall be toward 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 its terminating points shall be at Chazar'-enan: this shall be unto you the northern border.

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

And ye shall turn yourselves to the eastern border, from Chazar-'enan 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 boundary shall go down from Shepham to Riblah, to the eastward of 'Ayin; and the boundary shall descend, and shall touch upon the coast of the sea of Kinnereth, 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 the Jordan, and its terminating points shall be at the Salt Sea: this shall be your land after its boundaries 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 ye shall divide among yourselves by lot, which the Lord hath 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 their family divisions, and the tribe of the children of Gad according to their family divisions, have received, —and the half of the tribe of Menasseh 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 of the Jordan opposite Jericho eastward, toward the rising of the sun.

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 who shall parcel out unto you the land: Elazar 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 one prince each from every tribe shall ye take to parcel out the land.

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 Judah, Caleb the son of Yephunneh:

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 Kisslon;

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

And of the tribe of the children of Dan the prince, Bukki the son of Yogli;

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

Of the children of Joseph, for the tribe of the children of Menasseh the prince, Channiel the son of Ephod;

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

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

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

And of the tribe of the children of Zebulun the prince, Elizaphan the son of Parnach;

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

And of the tribe of the children of Issachar the prince, Paltiel the son of 'Azzan;

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

And of the tribe of the children of Asher the prince, Achihud the son of Shelomi;

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

And of the tribe of the children of Naphtali the prince, Pedahel the son of 'Ammihud.

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 hath commanded to divide out the inheritance unto the children of Israel in the land of Canaan.
