Numbers 34

1 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

2 “Command the children of Israel, and tell them, ‘When you come into the land of Canaan (this is the land that shall fall to you for an inheritance, even the land of Canaan according to its borders),

Charge the children of Israel, and you shall say to them, You are entering into the land of Chanaan: it shall be to you for an inheritance, the land of Chanaan with its boundaries.

3 then your south quarter shall be from the wilderness of Zin along by the side of Edom, and your south border shall be from the end of the Salt Sea eastward.

And your southern side shall be from the wilderness of Sin to the border of Edom, and your border southward shall extend on the side of the salt sea eastward.

4 Your border shall turn about southward of the ascent of Akrabbim, and pass along to Zin; and it shall pass southward of Kadesh Barnea; and it shall go from there to Hazar Addar, and pass along to Azmon.

And your border shall go round you from the south to the ascent of Acrabin, and shall proceed by Ennac, and the going forth of it shall be southward to Cades Barne, and it shall go forth to the village of Arad, and shall proceed by Asemona.

5 The border shall turn about from Azmon to the brook of Egypt, and it shall end at the sea.

And the border shall compass from Asemona to the river of Egypt, and the sea shall be the termination.

6 “‘For the western border, you shall have the great sea and its border. This shall be your west border.

And you shall have your border on the west, the great sea shall be the boundary: this shall be to you the border on the west.

7 “‘This shall be your north border: from the great sea you shall mark out for yourselves Mount Hor.

And this shall be your northern border; from the great sea you shall measure to yourselves, by the side of the mountain.

8 From Mount Hor you shall mark out to the entrance of Hamath; and the border shall pass by Zedad.

And you shall measure to yourselves the mountain from mount [Hor] at the entering in to Emath, and the termination of it shall be the coasts of Saradac.

9 Then the border shall go to Ziphron, and it shall end at Hazar Enan. This shall be your north border.

And the border shall go out to Dephrona, and its termination shall be at Arsenain; this shall be your border from the north.

10 “‘You shall mark out your east border from Hazar Enan to Shepham.

And you shall measure to yourselves the eastern border from Arsenain to Sepphamar.

11 The border shall go down from Shepham to Riblah, on the east side of Ain. The border shall go down, and shall reach to the side of the sea of Chinnereth eastward.

And the border shall go down from Sepphamar to Bela eastward to the fountains, and the border shall go down from Bela behind the sea Chenereth eastward.

12 The border shall go down to the Jordan, and end at the Salt Sea. This shall be your land according to its borders around it.’”

And the border shall go down to Jordan, and the termination shall be the salt sea; this shall be your land and its borders round about.

13 Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying, “This is the land which you shall inherit by lot, which Yahweh has commanded to give to the nine tribes, and to the half-tribe;

And Moses charged the children of Israel, saying, This [is] the land which you shall inherit by lot, even as the Lord commanded us to give it to the nine tribes and the half-tribe of Manasse.

14 for the tribe of the children of Reuben according to their fathers’ houses, the tribe of the children of Gad according to their fathers’ houses, and the half-tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance.

For the tribe of the children of Ruben, and the tribe of the children of Gad have received [their inheritance] according to their families; and the half-tribe of Manasse have received their inheritances.

15 The two tribes and the half-tribe have received their inheritance beyond the Jordan at Jericho eastward, toward the sunrise.”

Two tribes and half a tribe have received their inheritance beyond Jordan by Jericho from the south eastwards.

16 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

17 “These are the names of the men who shall divide the land to you for inheritance: Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun.

These [are] the names of the men who shall divide the land to you for an inheritance; Eleazar the priest and Joshua the [son] of Naue.

18 You shall take one prince of every tribe, to divide the land for inheritance.

And you shall take one ruler from [each] tribe to divide the land to you by lot.

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

And these [are] the names of the men; of the tribe of Juda Chaleb the son of Jephonne.
