Numbers 34

1 Yahweh spoke to Moses and said,

And YHWH speaks 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,

“Command the sons of Israel, and you have said to them: When you are coming into the land of Canaan—this [is] the land which falls to you by inheritance, the land of Canaan, by its borders—

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 the south quarter has been to you from the wilderness of Zin, by the sides of Edom, indeed, the south border has been to you from the extremity 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 the border has turned around to you from the south to the ascent of Akrabbim, and has passed on to Zin, and its outgoings have been from the south to Kadesh-Barnea, and it has gone out at Hazar-Addar, and has passed 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 has turned around from Azmon to the Brook of Egypt, and its outgoings have been at the sea.

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

As for the west border, even the Great Sea has been a border to you; this is the west border to you.

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

And this is the north border to you: from the Great Sea you mark out for yourselves Mount Hor;

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

from Mount Hor you mark out to go to Hamath, and the outgoings of the border have been to Zedad;

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

and the border has gone out to Ziphron, and its outgoings have been at Hazar-Enan; this is the north border to you.

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

And you have marked out for yourselves for the border eastward, from Hazar-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 border has gone down from Shepham to Riblah, on the east of Ain, and the border has gone down, and has struck against the shoulder 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 has gone down to the Jordan, and its outgoings have been at the Salt Sea; this is the land for you by its borders all around.”

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 commands the sons of Israel, saying, “This [is] the land which you inherit by lot, which YHWH has commanded to give to the nine tribes and the half of the 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 sons of Reuben, by the house of their fathers, and the tribe of the children of Gad, by the house of their fathers, have received [their inheritance]; and [those of] the half of 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 of the tribe have received their inheritance beyond the Jordan, [near] Jericho, eastward, at the [sun]-rising.”

16 Yahweh spoke to Moses and said,

And YHWH speaks 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 give the inheritance of the land to you: Eleazar the priest and Joshua son of Nun.

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

And one prince—you take one prince from a tribe to give the land by inheritance.

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 son of Jephunneh;

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

and of the tribe of the sons of Simeon, Shemuel son of Aminihud;

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

of the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad son of Chislon;

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

and a prince of the tribe of the sons of Dan, Bukki son of Jogli;

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, a prince of the tribe of the sons of Manasseh, Hanniel son of Ephod;

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

and a prince of the tribe of the sons of Ephraim, Kemuel son of Shiphtan;

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

and a prince of the tribe of the sons of Zebulun, Elizaphan son of Parnach;

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

and a prince of the tribe of the sons of Issachar, Paltiel son of Azzan;

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

and a prince of the tribe of the sons of Asher, Ahihud son of Shelomi;

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

and a prince of the tribe of the sons of Naphtali, Pedahel 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] those whom YHWH has commanded to give the sons of Israel inheritance in the land of Canaan.
