Numbers 34

1 Yahweh spoke to Moses and said,

And Yahweh spake 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 sons of Israel, and thou shalt say unto them, When, ye, are coming into the land of Canaan, this is the land which shall fall unto you, as an inheritance, even the land of Canaan, by the boundaries 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.

Ye shall therefore have a south corner, from the desert of Zin, on the side of Edom, —so shall ye have a south boundary, from the end 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 boundary shall go round for you from the south towards the cliffs of Akrabbim, then cross over towards Zin, and the extension thereof shall be from the south to Kadesh-barnea, then shall it reach out to Hazar-addar, and cross over towards Azmon;

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

then shall the boundary turn round from Azmon towards the ravine of Egypt, —and the extension thereof shall be towards the sea.

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

And, for a west boundary, —ye shall have the great sea, even a boundary, this, shall serve you as west boundary.

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

And, this, shall serve you as a north boundary, —From the great sea, ye shall draw a line for you to Mount Hor:

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

From Mount Hor, ye shall draw a line to the entering in of Hamath, —and the extension of the boundary shall be towards Zedad:

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

then shall the boundary reach out towards Ziphron, and the extension thereof, be to Hazar-enan. This, shall serve you as a north, boundary.

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

Then shall ye draw for yourselves a line, for an east boundary, —from Hazar-enan towards 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 towards Riblah, on the east of Ain—then shall the boundary go down and strike on 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.'”

then shall the boundary go down towards the Jordan, and the extension thereof be to the salt sea. This shall be your land by the boundaries 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 sons of Israel saying, —This, is the land, which ye shall inherit by lot, which Yahweh had commanded to be given to the nine tribes and 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 sons of the Reubenites by their ancestral house, and the tribe of the sons of Gad, by their ancestral house, have received, and, the half 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, eastwards, towards sunrise.

16 Yahweh spoke to Moses and said,

Then spake Yahweh 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 receive for you the land, as an inheritance, Eleazar, the priest, and Joshua, son of Nun.

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

Also, one prince from each tribe, shall ye take to receive the land, as an inheritance.

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

These, therefore, are the names of the men, —For the tribe of Judah, Caleb son of Jephunneh;

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

And, for the tribe of the sons of Simeon, Shemuel son of Ammihud:

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

For 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, for the tribe of the sons of Dan, a prince—Bukki, son of Jogli:

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

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

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

And, for the tribe of the sons of Ephraim, a prince, —Kemuel, son of Shiphtan;

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

And, for the tribe of the sons of Zebulun, a prince, —Elizaphan, son of Parnach;

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

And, for the tribe of the sons of Issachar, a prince, —Paltiel son of Azzan;

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

And, for the tribe of the sons of Asher, a prince, —Ahihud son of Shelomi:

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

And, for the tribe of the sons of Naphtali, a prince, —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 they whom Yahweh hath commanded to receive for the sons of Israel their inheritance, in the land of Canaan.
