Numbers 34

1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

2 Command the children of Israel, and then shalt say to them: When you are entered into the land of Chanaan, and it shall be fallen into your possession by lot, it shall be bounded by these limits:

Charge the children of Israel, and you shall say to them, You are entering into the land of Chanaan: it shall be to you for an inheritance, the land of Chanaan with its boundaries.

3 The south side shall begin from the wilderness of Sin, which is by Edom: and shall have the most salt sea for its furthest limits eastward:

And your southern side shall be from the wilderness of Sin to the border of Edom, and your border southward shall extend on the side of the salt sea eastward.

4 Which limits shall go round on the south side by the ascent of the Scorpion and so into Senna, and reach toward the south as far as Cadesbarne, from whence the frontiers shall go out to the town called Adar, and shall reach as far as Asemona.

And your border shall go round you from the south to the ascent of Acrabin, and shall proceed by Ennac, and the going forth of it shall be southward to Cades Barne, and it shall go forth to the village of Arad, and shall proceed by Asemona.

5 And the limits shall fetch a compass from Asemona to the torrent of Egypt, and shall end in the shore of the great sea.

And the border shall compass from Asemona to the river of Egypt, and the sea shall be the termination.

6 And the west side shall begin from the great sea, and the same shall be the end thereof.

And you shall have your border on the west, the great sea shall be the boundary: this shall be to you the border on the west.

7 But toward the north side the borders shall begin from the great sea, reaching to the most high mountain,

And this shall be your northern border; from the great sea you shall measure to yourselves, by the side of the mountain.

8 From which they shall come to Emath, as far as the borders of Sedada:

And you shall measure to yourselves the mountain from mount [Hor] at the entering in to Emath, and the termination of it shall be the coasts of Saradac.

9 And the limits shall go as far as Zephrona, and the village of Enan. These shall be the borders on the north side.

And the border shall go out to Dephrona, and its termination shall be at Arsenain; this shall be your border from the north.

10 From thence they shall mark out the bounds towards the east side from the village of Enan unto Sephama.

And you shall measure to yourselves the eastern border from Arsenain to Sepphamar.

11 And from Sephama the bounds shall go down to Rebla over against the fountain of Daphnis: from thence they shall come eastward to the sea of Cenereth,

And the border shall go down from Sepphamar to Bela eastward to the fountains, and the border shall go down from Bela behind the sea Chenereth eastward.

12 And shall reach as far as the Jordan, and at the last shall be closed in by the most salt sea. This shall be your land with its borders round about.

And the border shall go down to Jordan, and the termination shall be the salt sea; this shall be your land and its borders round about.

13 And Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying: This shall be the land which you shall possess by lot, and which the Lord hath commanded to be given to the nine tribes, and to the half tribe.

And Moses charged the children of Israel, saying, This [is] the land which you shall inherit by lot, even as the Lord commanded us to give it to the nine tribes and the half-tribe of Manasse.

14 For the tribe of the children of Ruben by their families, and the tribe of the children of Gad according to the number of their kindreds, and half of the tribe of Manasses,

For the tribe of the children of Ruben, and the tribe of the children of Gad have received [their inheritance] according to their families; and the half-tribe of Manasse have received their inheritances.

15 That is, two tribes and a half, have received their portion beyond the Jordan over against Jericho at the east side.

Two tribes and half a tribe have received their inheritance beyond Jordan by Jericho from the south eastwards.

16 And the Lord said to Moses:

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

17 These are the names of the men, that shall divide the land unto you: Eleazar the priest, and Josue the son of Nun,

These [are] the names of the men who shall divide the land to you for an inheritance; Eleazar the priest and Joshua the [son] of Naue.

18 And one prince of every tribe,

And you shall take one ruler from [each] tribe to divide the land to you by lot.

19 Whose names are these: Of the tribe of Juda, Caleb the son of Jephone.

And these [are] the names of the men; of the tribe of Juda Chaleb the son of Jephonne.
