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: )

3 The south part schal bigynne at the wildirnesse of Syn, which is bisidis Edom, and it schal haue termes ayens the eest,

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:

4 the saltiste see, whiche termes schulen cumpasse the south coost bi the `stiynge of Scorpioun, `that is, of an hil clepid Scorpioun, so that tho passe in to Senna, and come to the south, `til to Cades Barne; fro whennus the coostis schulen go out to the town, Abdar bi name, and schulen strecche forth `til to Asemona;

And your border shall turn from the south to the ascent of Akrabbim, and pass on to Zin: its border shall be from the south to Kadeshbarnea, and shall go on to Hazaraddar, and pass on to Azmon:

5 and the terme schal go bi cumpas fro Assemona `til to the stronde of Egipt, and it schal be endid bi the brynke of the grete see.

And the border shall form a circuit from Azmon to the river of Egypt, and the border of it shall be at the sea.

6 Forsothe the west coost schal bigynne at the greet see, and schal be closid bi that ende.

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

7 Sotheli at the north coost, the termes schulen bigynne at the greet see, and schulen come `til to the hiyeste hil,

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

8 fro which tho schulen come in to Emath, `til to the termes of Sedada;

From mount Hor ye shall mark out your border to the entrance of Hamath; and the edge of the border shall be at Zedad:

9 and the coostis schulen go `til to Ephrona, and the town of Enan. These schulen be the termes in the north part.

And the border shall go on to Ziphron, and the border of it shall be at Hazarenan: this shall be your north border.

10 Fro thennus thei schulen mete coostis ayens the eest coost, fro the town Henan `til to Sephama;

And ye shall mark out your east border from Hazarenan to Shepham:

11 and fro Sephama termes schulen go doun in to Reblatha, ayens the welle `of Daphnyn; fro thennus tho schulen come ayens the eest to the se of Cenereth;

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

13 And Moises comaundide to the sones of Israel, and seide, This schal be the lond which ye schulen welde bi lot, and which the Lord comaundide to be youun to nyne lynagis and to the half lynage;

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:

14 for the lynage of the sones of Ruben, bi her meynees, and the lynage of the sones of Gad, bi kynrede and noumbre, and half the lynage of Manasses,

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:

15 that is, twey lynagis and an half, han take her part ouer Jordan, ayens Jerico, at the eest coost.
