Numbers 34

1 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

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 —

“Instruct the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them: When you will have entered into the land of Canaan, and it has fallen into your possession by lot, it shall be bound by 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;

The southern part shall begin from the wilderness of Sin, which is next to Edom, and it shall have the Sea of Salt as a limit to the east.

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;

It shall circle on the south side along the ascent of the Scorpion, by this way crossing into Senna, and passing through, from the south, as far as Kadesh-barnea, from which its confines shall go out to the town called Adar, and extend even 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 its limits shall go around from Azmon to the Torrent of Egypt, and shall end at the shore of the Great Sea.

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

Then the western region shall begin from the Great Sea, and the same shall be its end.

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

Furthermore, toward the northern region, its limits shall begin from the Great Sea, passing through even to the highest mountain.

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

From there, it limits shall advance into Hamath, as far as the limits of 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 its confines shall go all the way to Ziphron, and to the village of Enan. These shall be the limits on the northern side.

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

From there, its limits shall be measured, facing the east side, from the village of Enan as far as 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;

And from Shepham, the boundaries shall descend into Riblah, opposite the fountain of Daphnis. From there, the boundaries shall pass through, opposite the east, to 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 shall extend as far as the Jordan, and, at the furthest extent, shall be enclosed by the Sea of Salt. You shall have this land, with its borders all around.”

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 instructed the sons of Israel, saying: “This shall be the land which you shall possess by lot, and which the Lord has ordered to be given to the nine tribes, and to 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 sons of Ruben, by their families, and the tribe of the sons of Gad, according to the number of their kinships, and also one half of the tribe of Manasseh,

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

that is, two and a half tribes, have received their portion across the Jordan, opposite Jericho, toward the eastern side.”

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 shall divide the land for 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 one leader from each tribe,

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

whose names are these: from the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh;

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

from the tribe of Simeon, Samuel the son of Ammihud;

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

from 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;

from the tribe of the sons of Dan, 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 sons of Joseph, from the tribe of Manasseh, Hanniel the son of Ephod;

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

from the tribe of Ephraim, Kemuel the son of Shiphtan;

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

from the tribe of Zebulon, Elizaphan the son of Parnach;

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

from the tribe of Issachar, Paltiel the leader, the son of Azzan;

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

from the tribe of Asher, Ahihud the son of Shelomi;

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

from the tribe of Naphtali, 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 the ones that the Lord has ordered to divide the land of Canaan to the sons of Israel.
