Liber Numeri 34

1 Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:

And Yhwh spake unto Moses, saying,

2 Præcipe filiis Israel, et dices ad eos: Cum ingressi fueritis Terram Chanaan, et in possessionem vobis sorte ceciderit, his finibus terminabitur.

Command the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land of Canaan; (this is the land that shall fall unto you for an inheritance, even the land of Canaan with the coasts thereof: )

3 Pars meridiana incipiet a solitudine Sin, quæ est iuxta Edom: et habebit terminos contra Orientem mare salsissimum.

Then your south quarter shall be from the wilderness of Zin along by the coast of Edom, and your south border shall be the outmost coast of the salt sea eastward:

4 Qui circuibunt australem plagam per ascensum Scorpionis, ita ut transeant in Senna, et perveniant a meridie usque ad Cadesbarne, unde egredientur confinia ad villam nomine Adar, et tendent usque ad Asemona.

And your border shall turn from the south to the ascent of Akrabbim, and pass on to Zin: and the going forth thereof shall be from the south to Kadesh–barnea, and shall go on to Hazar–addar, and pass on to Azmon:

5 Ibitque per gyrum terminus ab Asemona usque ad Torrentem Ægypti, et maris magni littore finietur.

And the border shall fetch a compass from Azmon unto the river of Egypt, and the goings out of it shall be at the sea.

6 Plaga autem occidentalis a mari magno incipiet, et ipso fine claudetur.

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

7 Porro ad septentrionalem plagam a mari magno termini incipient, pervenientes usque ad montem altissimum,

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

8 a quo venient in Emath usque ad terminos Sedada:

From mount Hor ye shall point out your border unto the entrance of Hamath; and the goings forth of the border shall be to Zedad:

9 ibuntque confinia usque ad Zephrona, et villam Enan. Hi erunt termini in parte Aquilonis.

And the border shall go on to Ziphron, and the goings out of it shall be at Hazar–enan: this shall be your north border.

10 Inde metabuntur fines contra orientalem plagam de villa Enan usque Sephama,

And ye shall point out your east border from Hazar–enan to Shepham:

11 et de Sephama descendent termini in Rebla contra fontem Daphnim: inde pervenient contra Orientem ad mare Cenereth,

And the coast shall go down from Shepham to Riblah, on the east side of Ain; and the border shall descend, and shall reach unto the side of the sea of Chinnereth eastward:

12 et tendent usque ad Iordanem, et ad ultimum salsissimo claudentur mari. Hanc habebitis Terram per fines suos in circuitu.

And the border shall go down to Jordan, and the goings out of it shall be at the salt sea: this shall be your land with the coasts thereof round about.

13 Præcepitque Moyses filiis Israel, dicens: Hæc erit Terra, quam possidebitis sorte, et quam iussit Dominus dari novem tribubus, et dimidiæ tribui.

And Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying, This is the land which ye shall inherit by lot, which Yhwh commanded to give unto the nine tribes, and to the half tribe:

14 Tribus enim filiorum Ruben per familias suas, et tribus filiorum Gad iuxta cognationum numerum, media quoque tribus Manasse,

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 id est, duæ semis tribus, acceperunt partem suam trans Iordanem contra Iericho ad orientalem plagam.

The two tribes and the half tribe have received their inheritance on this side Jordan near Jericho eastward, toward the sunrising.

16 Et ait Dominus ad Moysen:

And Yhwh spake unto Moses, saying,

17 Hæc sunt nomina virorum, qui Terram vobis divident, Eleazar sacerdos, et Iosue filius Nun,

These are the names of the men which shall divide the land unto you: Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun.
