1 Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
2 Praecipe 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 shall be the land that shall fall unto you for an inheritance, even the land of Canaan according to the borders thereof.
3 Pars meridiana incipiet a solitudine Sin, quae est iuxta Edom: et habebit terminos contra Orientem mare salsissimum.
Thus your south side shall be from the wilderness of Zin close by the side of Edom, and your south border shall begin at the end of the Salt Sea eastward;
4 qui circuibunt australem plagam per ascensum Scorpionis, ita ut transeant in Senna, et perveniant ad meridiem usque ad Cadesbarne, unde egredientur confinia ad villam nomine Adar, et tendent usque ad Asemona.
and your border shall turn about southward of the ascent of Akrabbim, and pass along to Zin; and the goings out thereof shall be southward of Kadesh-barnea; and it shall go forth to Hazar-addar, and pass along to Azmon;

and the border shall turn about from Azmon unto the Brook of Egypt, and the goings out thereof shall be at the Sea.
6 Plaga autem occidentalis a mari magno incipiet, et ipso fine claudetur.
And for the western border, ye shall 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 mark out your line unto mount Hor;
8 a quo venient in Emath usque ad terminos Sedada:

10 Inde metabuntur fines contra orientalem plagam de villa Enan usque Sephama,
And ye shall mark out your line for the east border from Hazar-enan to Shepham;
11 et de Sephama descendent termini in Reblatha contra fontem Daphnim: inde pervenient contra Orientem ad mare Cenereth,
and the border shall go down from Shepham to Riblah, on the east side of Ain; and the border shall go down, and shall strike upon the slope 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 the Jordan, and the goings out thereof shall be at the Salt Sea; this shall be your land according to the borders thereof round about.'
13 Praecepitque Moyses filiis Israel, dicens: Haec erit Terra, quam possidebitis sorte, et quam iussit Dominus dari novem tribubus, et dimidiae tribui.
And Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying: 'This is the land wherein ye shall receive inheritance by lot, which the LORD hath 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 their fathers' houses, and the tribe of the children of Gad according to their fathers' houses, have received, and the half-tribe of Manasseh have received, their inheritance;
15 id est, duae semis tribus, acceperunt partem suam trans Iordanem contra Iericho ad orientalem plagam.
the two tribes and the half-tribe have received their inheritance beyond the Jordan at Jericho eastward, toward the sun-rising.'
