Numbers 34

1 Yahweh spoke to Moses and said,

And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:

2 “Command the people of Israel and say to them, 'When you enter the land of Canaan, the land that will belong to you, the land of Canaan and its borders,

'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 your southern border will extend from the wilderness of Zin along the border of Edom. The eastern end of the southern border will be on a line that ends at the southern end of the Salt Sea.

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 Your border will turn south from the hill of Akrabbim and pass along through the wilderness of Zin. From there, it will run south of Kadesh Barnea and continue to Hazar Addar and further to Azmon.

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;

5 From there, the border will turn from Azmon toward the brook of Egypt and follow it to the sea.

and the border shall turn about from Azmon unto the Brook of Egypt, and the goings out thereof shall be at the Sea.

6 The western border will be the coastline of the Great Sea. This will be your western border.

And for the western border, ye shall have the Great Sea for a border; this shall be your west border.

7 Your northern border will extend along a line that you must mark out from the Great Sea to Mount Hor,

And this shall be your north border: from the Great Sea ye shall mark out your line unto mount Hor;

8 then from Mount Hor to Lebo Hamath, then on to Zedad.

from mount Hor ye shall mark out a line unto the entrance to Hamath; and the goings out of the border shall be at Zedad;

9 Then the border will continue to Ziphron and end at Hazar Enan. This will be your northern border.

and the border shall go forth to Ziphron, and the goings out thereof shall be at Hazar-enan; this shall be your north border.

10 Then you must mark out your eastern border from Hazar Enan south to Shepham.

And ye shall mark out your line for the east border from Hazar-enan to Shepham;

11 Then the eastern border will go down from Shepham to Riblah, on the east side of Ain. The border will continue along the east side of the Sea of Kinnereth.

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 Then the border will continue south along the Jordan River to the Salt Sea and continue down the eastern border of the Salt Sea. This will be your land, following its borders all around.'”

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 Then Moses commanded the people of Israel and said, “This is the land that you will receive by lot, which Yahweh has commanded to give to the nine tribes and to the half tribe.

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 The tribe of the descendants of Reuben, following the assignment of property to their ancestor's tribe, and the tribe of the descendants of Gad, following the assignment of property to their ancestor's tribe, and the half tribe of Manasseh have all received their land.

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 The two tribes and the half tribe have received their share of land beyond the Jordan at Jericho eastward, toward the sunrise.”

the two tribes and the half-tribe have received their inheritance beyond the Jordan at Jericho eastward, toward the sun-rising.'

16 Yahweh spoke to Moses and said,

And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:

17 “These are the names of the men who will divide the land for your inheritance: Eleazar the priest and Joshua son of Nun.

'These are the names of the men that shall take possession of the land for you: Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun.

18 You must choose one leader from every tribe to divide the land for their clans.

And ye shall take one prince of every tribe, to take possession of the land.

19 These are the names of the men: From 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 From the tribe of the descendants of Simeon, Shemuel son of Ammihud.

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

21 From the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad son of Kislon.

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

22 From of the tribe of the descendants of Dan a leader, Bukki son of Jogli.

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

23 From the descendants of Joseph, of the tribe of the descendants of Manasseh a leader, Hanniel son of Ephod.

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

24 From the tribe of the descendants of Ephraim a leader, Kemuel son of Shiphtan.

and of the tribe of the children of Ephraim a prince, Kemuel the son of Shiphtan.

25 From the tribe of the descendants of Zebulun a leader, Elizaphan son of Parnak.

And of the tribe of the children of Zebulun a prince, Eli-zaphan the son of Parnach.

26 From the tribe of the descendants of Issachar a leader, Paltiel son of Azzan.

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

27 From the tribe of the descendants of Asher a leader, Ahihud son of Shelomi.

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

28 From the tribe of the descendants of Naphtali a leader, Pedahel son of Ammihud.”

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

29 Yahweh commanded these men to divide the land of Canaan and to give each of the tribes of Israel their share.

These are they whom the LORD commanded to divide the inheritance unto the children of Israel in the land of Canaan.'
