Numbers 34

1 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

And the Lord said to Moses,

2 'Command the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto them, When ye are coming in unto the land of Canaan — this [is] the land which falleth to you by inheritance, the land of Canaan, by its borders —

Give orders to the children of Israel and say to them, When you come into the land of Canaan; (this is the land which is to be your heritage, the land of Canaan inside these limits, )

3 then hath the south quarter been to you from the wilderness of Zin, by the sides of Edom, yea, the south border hath been to you from the extremity of the Salt Sea, eastward;

Then your south quarter will be from the waste land of Zin by the side of Edom, and your limit on the south will be from the east end of the Salt Sea,

4 and the border hath turned round to you from the south to the ascent of Akrabbim, and hath passed on to Zin, and its outgoings have been from the south to Kadesh-Barnea, and it hath gone out at Hazar-Addar, and hath passed on to Azmon;

And round to the south of the slope of Akrabbim, and on to Zin: and its direction will be south of Kadesh-barnea, and it will go as far as Hazar-addar and on to Azmon:

5 and the border hath turned round from Azmon to the brook of Egypt, and its outgoings have been at the sea.

And from Azmon it will go round to the stream of Egypt as far as the sea.

6 'As to the west border, even the great sea hath been to you a border; this is to you the west border.

And for your limit on the west you will have the Great Sea and its edge: this will be your limit on the west.

7 'And this is to you the north border: from the great sea ye mark out for yourselves mount Hor;

And your limit on the north will be the line from the Great Sea to Mount Hor:

8 from mount Hor ye mark out to go in to Hamath, and the outgoings of the border have been to Zedad;

And from Mount Hor the line will go in the direction of Hamath; the farthest point of it will be at Zedad:

9 and the border hath gone out to Ziphron, and its outgoings have been at Hazar-Enan; this is to you the north border.

And the limit will go on to Ziphron, with its farthest point at Hazar-enan: this will be your limit on the north.

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

And on the east, your limit will be marked out from Hazar-enan to Shepham,

11 and the border hath gone down from Shepham to Riblah, on the east of Ain, and the border hath gone down, and hath smitten against the shoulder of the sea of Chinnereth eastward;

Going down from Shepham to Riblah on the east side of Ain, and on as far as the east side of the sea of Chinnereth:

12 and the border hath gone down to the Jordan, and its outgoings have been at the Salt Sea; this is for you the land by its borders round about.'

And so down to Jordan, stretching to the Salt Sea: all the land inside these limits will be yours.

13 And Moses commandeth the sons of Israel, saying, 'This [is] the land which ye inherit by lot, which Jehovah hath commanded to give to the nine tribes and the half of the tribe;

And Moses gave orders to the children of Israel saying, This is the land which is to be your heritage, by the decision of the Lord, which by the Lord's order is to be given to the nine tribes and the half-tribe:

14 for the tribe of the sons of Reuben have received, by the house of their fathers; and the tribe of the children of Gad, by the house of their fathers; and the half of the tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance;

For the tribe of the children of Reuben, by their fathers' families, and the tribe of the children of Gad, by their fathers' families, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, have been given their heritage:

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

The two tribes and the half-tribe have been given their heritage on the other side of Jordan at Jericho, on the east looking to the dawn.

16 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

And the Lord said to Moses,

17 'These [are] the names of the men who give to you the inheritance of the land: Eleazar the priest, and Joshua son of Nun,

These are the names of the men who are to make the distribution of the land among you: Eleazar the priest and Joshua, the son of Nun.

18 and one prince — one prince — for a tribe ye do take to give the land by inheritance.

And you are to take one chief from every tribe to make the distribution of the land.

19 'And these [are] the names of the men: of the tribe of Judah, Caleb son of Jephunneh;

And these are the names of the men: of the tribe of Judah, Caleb, the son of Jephunneh.

20 and of the tribe of the sons of Simeon, Shemuel son of Aminihud;

And of the tribe of the children of Simeon, Shemuel, the son of Ammihud.

21 of the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad son of Chislon;

Of the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad, the son of Chislon.

22 and of the tribe of the sons of Dan, the prince Bukki son of Jogli;

And of the tribe of the children of Dan, a chief, Bukki, the son of Jogli.

23 of the sons of Joseph, of the tribe of the sons of Manasseh, the prince Hanniel son of Ephod;

Of the children of Joseph: of the tribe of the children of Manasseh, a chief, Hanniel, the son of Ephod:

24 and of the tribe of the sons of Ephraim, the prince Kemuel son of Shiphtan;

And of the tribe of the children of Ephraim, a chief, Kemuel, the son of Shiphtan.

25 and of the tribe of the sons of Zebulun, the prince Elizaphan son of Parnach;

And of the tribe of the children of Zebulun, a chief, Elizaphan, the son of Parnach.

26 and of the tribe of the sons of Issachar, the prince Paltiel son of Azzan;

And of the tribe of the children of Issachar, a chief, Paltiel, the son of Azzan.

27 and of the tribe of the sons of Asher, the prince Ahihud son of Shelomi;

And of the tribe of the children of Asher, a chief, Ahihud, the son of Shelomi.

28 and of the tribe of the sons of Naphtali, the prince Pedahel son of Ammihud.'

And of the tribe of the children of Naphtali, a chief, Pedahel, the son of Ammihud.

29 These [are] those whom Jehovah hath commanded to give the sons of Israel inheritance in the land of Canaan.

These are they to whom the Lord gave orders to make the distribution of the heritage among the children of Israel in the land of Canaan.
