Numbers 34

1 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,

2 Command the children of Israel, and say to them, When ye come into the land of Canaan; (this [is] the land that shall fall to you for an inheritance, [even] the land of Canaan with 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 Then your south quarter shall be from the wilderness of Zin along by the border of Edom, and your south border shall be the outmost coast of the salt sea eastward:

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 And your border shall turn from the south to the ascent of Akrabbim, and pass on to Zin: its limit shall be from the south to Kadesh-barnea, and shall go on to Hazar-addar, and pass on 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 And the border shall form a circuit from Azmon to the river of Egypt, and the limits of it shall be at the sea.

and the border has turned around from Azmon to the Brook of Egypt, and its outgoings have been at the sea.

6 And [as for] the western border, ye shall even have the great sea for a border: this shall be your west border.

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

7 And this shall be your north border: from the great sea ye shall designate for you mount Hor:

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

8 From mount Hor ye shall designate [your border] to the entrance of Hamath; and the limits of the border shall be at Zedad:

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

9 And the border shall go on to Ziphron, and the limits of it shall be at Hazar-enan: this shall be your north 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 And ye shall designate your east border from Hazar-enan to Shepham:

And you have marked out for yourselves for the border eastward, from Hazar-Enan to Shepham;

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

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 And the border shall go down to Jordan, and the limits of it shall be at the salt sea: This shall be your land with its limits on all sides.

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 And Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying, This [is] the land which ye shall inherit by lot, which the LORD 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 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:

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 inheritance on this side of Jordan [near] Jericho eastward, towards the sun-rising.

the two tribes and the half of the tribe have received their inheritance beyond the Jordan, [near] Jericho, eastward, at the [sun]-rising.”

16 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,

17 These [are] the names of the men who shall divide the land to you: Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the 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 And ye shall take one prince of every tribe, to divide the land by inheritance.

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