Numbers 34

1 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

Yahweh spoke to Moses and said,

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 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,

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:

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.

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:

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.

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.

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

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

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

Your northern border will extend along a line that you must mark out from the Great Sea to 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:

then from Mount Hor to Lebo Hamath, then on 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.

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

10 And ye shall designate your east border from Hazar-enan to Shepham:

Then you must mark out your eastern border from Hazar Enan south 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:

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.

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.

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.'”

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:

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.

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:

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.

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 tribe have received their share of land beyond the Jordan at Jericho eastward, toward the sunrise.”

16 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

Yahweh spoke to Moses and said,

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 will divide the land for your inheritance: Eleazar the priest and Joshua son of Nun.

18 And ye shall take one prince of every tribe, to divide the land by inheritance.

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