< Numbers 34 >

1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
And the Lord spake vnto 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:
Commande the children of Israel, and say vnto them, When yee come into the land of Canaan, this is the land that shall fall vnto your inheritance: that is, the land of Canaan with the coastes thereof.
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 Southquarter shalbe from the wildernesse of Zin to the borders of Edom: so that your Southquarter shall be from the salt Sea coast Eastwarde:
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 the border shall compasse you from the South to Maaleh-akrabbim, and reach to Zin, and goe out from the South to Kadesh-barnea: thence it shall stretch to Hazar-addar, and go along to Azmon.
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 compasse from Azmon vnto the riuer of Egypt, and shall goe out to the Sea.
6 And the west side shall begin from the great sea, and the same shall be the end thereof.
And your Westquarter shall bee the great Sea: euen that border shalbe your Westcoast.
7 But toward the north side the borders shall begin from the great sea, reaching to the most high mountain,
And this shall bee your Northquarter: yee shall marke out your border from the great Sea vnto mount Hor.
8 From which they shall come to Emath, as far as the borders of Sedada:
From mount Hor ye shall point out till it come vnto Hamath, and the end of the coast shall be at Zedad.
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 coast shall reach out to Ziphron, and goe out at Hazar-enan. this shalbe your Northquarter.
10 From thence they shall mark out the bounds towards the east side from the village of Enan unto Sephama.
And ye shall marke out your Eastquarter from Hazar-enan to Shepham.
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 coast shall goe downe from Shepham to Riblah, and from the Eastside of Ain: and the same border shall descend and goe out at the side of the sea of Chinneereth 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.
Also that border shall goe downe to Iorden, and leaue at the salt Sea. this shalbe your land with the coastes thereof 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.
Then Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying, This is the lande which yee shall inherite by lot, which the Lord commanded to giue vnto nine tribes and halfe the tribe.
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 Reuben, according to the housholdes of their fathers, and the tribe of the children of Gad, according to their fathers housholdes, and halfe the tribe of Manasseh, haue receiued their inheritance.
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 an halfe tribe haue receiued their inheritance on this side of Iorden toward Iericho full East.
16 And the Lord said to Moses:
Againe the Lord spake to Moses, saying,

These are the names of the men which shall deuide ye land vnto you: Eleazar the Priest, and Ioshua the sonne of Nun.
