Liber Numeri 34
1 locutus est Dominus ad Mosen
Yahweh said to Moses/me,
2 praecipe filiis Israhel et dices ad eos cum ingressi fueritis terram Chanaan et in possessionem vobis sorte ceciderit his finibus terminabitur
“Tell this to the Israeli people: You will soon enter Canaan land, and it will become yours. These will be the borders of the land:
3 pars meridiana incipiet a solitudine Sin quae est iuxta Edom et habebit terminos contra orientem mare Salsissimum
On the south you will receive part of the Zin Desert, near the border of the Edom [region]. On the east side, the border will start at the south end of the Dead Sea.
4 qui circumibunt australem plagam per ascensum Scorpionis ita ut transeant Senna et perveniant in meridiem usque ad Cadesbarne unde egredientur confinia ad villam nomine Addar et tendent usque Asemona
It will extend to a little south of the Scorpion Pass, and extend [west] through [the] Zin [Desert] and south of Kadesh-Barnea. From there it will extend to Hazar Addar and from there to Azmon.
5 ibitque per gyrum terminus ab Asemona usque ad torrentem Aegypti et maris Magni litore finietur
From Azmon it will extend [west] to the dry riverbed [at the border] of Egypt and then to the [Mediterranean] Sea.
6 plaga autem occidentalis a mari Magno incipiet et ipso fine cludetur
The border on the west will be the Mediterranean Sea.
7 porro ad septentrionalem plagam a mari Magno termini incipient pervenientes usque ad montem Altissimum
The border on the north will start from the Mediterranean Sea and extend [east] to Hor Mountain.
8 a quo venies in Emath usque ad terminos Sedada
From there it will extend to Lebo-Hamath and then to Zedad.
9 ibuntque confinia usque Zephrona et villam Henan hii erunt termini in parte aquilonis
From there the border will extend to Ziphron, and it will end at Hazar-Enan.
10 inde metabuntur fines contra orientalem plagam de villa Henan usque Sephama
The border on the east will start at Hazar-Enan and extend [south] to Shepham.
11 et de Sephama descendent termini in Rebla contra fontem inde pervenient contra orientem ad mare Chenereth
From there it will extend east of Ain to Riblah and then along the hills that are east of Galilee Lake.
12 et tendent usque Iordanem et ad ultimum Salsissimo cludentur mari hanc habebitis terram per fines suos in circuitu
Then the border will extend south along the Jordan [River] and end at the Dead Sea. Those will be the borders around your country.”
13 praecepitque Moses filiis Israhel dicens haec erit terra quam possidebitis sorte et quam iussit dari Dominus novem tribubus et dimidiae tribui
So Moses/I [told all that] to the Israeli people. Then he/I said to them, “That is the land that you will receive. You must throw (lots/stones that have been marked) to decide which area will go to each of the nine and a half tribes, because Yahweh has commanded that it should be divided among them.
14 tribus enim filiorum Ruben per familias suas et tribus filiorum Gad iuxta cognationum numerum media quoque tribus Manasse
The tribes of Reuben, Gad, and half of the tribe of Manasseh have already received the land in which they will live.
15 id est duae semis tribus acceperunt partem suam trans Iordanem contra Hiericho ad orientalem plagam
They have received land on the east side of the Jordan [River], across from Jericho.”
16 et ait Dominus ad Mosen
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
17 haec sunt nomina virorum qui terram vobis divident Eleazar sacerdos et Iosue filius Nun
“These are the men who will divide the land: First, Eleazar and Joshua.
18 et singuli principes de tribubus singulis
But one leader [from each of the twelve tribes will help them divide the land].
19 quorum ista sunt vocabula de tribu Iuda Chaleb filius Iepphonne
“From the tribe of Judah, appoint Jephunneh’s son Caleb. From the tribe of Simeon appoint Ammihud’s son Shemuel. From the tribe of Benjamin appoint Kislon’s son Elidad.
