< Numbers 34 >

1 And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying:
And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
2 Command the sons of Israel, and thou shalt say unto them, When, ye, are coming into the land of Canaan, this is the land which shall fall unto you, as an inheritance, even the land of Canaan, by the boundaries thereof.
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 to you for an inheritance, the land of Canaan according to the borders thereof.
3 Ye shall therefore have a south corner, from the desert of Zin, on the side of Edom, —so shall ye have a south boundary, from the end of the salt sea, eastward:
Then your south side shall be from the wilderness of Zin alongside of Edom, and your southern border shall be from the end of the salt sea eastward;
4 and the boundary shall go round for you from the south towards the cliffs of Akrabbim, then cross over towards Zin, and the extension thereof shall be from the south to Kadesh-barnea, then shall it reach out to Hazar-addar, and cross over towards Azmon;
and your border shall turn from the south of the ascent of Akrabbim, and pass on to Zin, and shall end southward at Kadesh-barnea, and shall go on to Hazar-Addar, and pass on to Azmon.
5 then shall the boundary turn round from Azmon towards the ravine of Egypt, —and the extension thereof shall be towards the sea.
And the border shall turn from Azmon unto the torrent of Egypt, and shall end at the sea.
6 And, for a west boundary, —ye shall have the great sea, even a boundary, this, shall serve you as west boundary.
And as west border ye shall have the great sea, and [its] coast. This shall be your west border.
7 And, this, shall serve you as a north boundary, —From the great sea, ye shall draw a line for you to Mount Hor:
And this shall be your north border: from the great sea ye shall mark out for you mount Hor;
8 From Mount Hor, ye shall draw a line to the entering in of Hamath, —and the extension of the boundary shall be towards Zedad:
from mount Hor ye shall mark out the entrance to Hamath, and the end of the border shall be toward Zedad;
9 then shall the boundary reach out towards Ziphron, and the extension thereof, be to Hazar-enan. This, shall serve you as a north, boundary.
and the border shall go to Ziphron, and shall end at Hazar-enan. This shall be your north border.
10 Then shall ye draw for yourselves a line, for an east boundary, —from Hazar-enan towards Shepham;
And ye shall mark out for you as eastern border from Hazar-enan to Shepham:
11 and the boundary shall go down from Shepham towards Riblah, on the east of Ain—then shall the boundary go down and strike on the side of the Sea of Chinnereth, eastward:
and the border shall go down from Shepham to Riblah, on the east side of Ain; and the border shall descend, and shall strike upon the extremity of the sea of Chinnereth eastward;
12 then shall the boundary go down towards the Jordan, and the extension thereof be to the salt sea. This shall be your land by the boundaries thereof round about.
and the border shall go down to the Jordan, and shall end at the salt sea. This shall be your land according to the borders thereof round about.
13 And Moses commanded the sons of Israel saying, —This, is the land, which ye shall inherit by lot, which Yahweh had commanded to be given to the nine tribes and the half tribe.
And Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying, This is the land which ye shall take for yourselves as inheritance by lot, which Jehovah commanded to give to the nine tribes, and to the half tribe.
14 For the tribe of the sons of the Reubenites by their ancestral house, and the tribe of the sons of Gad, by their ancestral house, have received, and, the half tribe of Manasseh have received, their inheritance:
For the tribe of the children of the Reubenites according to their fathers' houses, and the tribe of the children of the Gadites according to their fathers' houses, have received, and half the tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance;
15 the two tribes, and the half tribe, have received their inheritance—on this side Jordan near Jericho, eastwards, towards sunrise.
the two tribes and the half tribe have received their inheritance on this side the Jordan of Jericho eastward, toward the sun-rising.
16 Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying:
And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
17 These, are the names of the men who shall receive for you the land, as an inheritance, Eleazar, the priest, and Joshua, son of Nun.
These are the names of the men who shall divide the land unto you: Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun.
18 Also, one prince from each tribe, shall ye take to receive the land, as an inheritance.
And ye shall take one prince of every tribe, to divide the land.
19 These, therefore, are the names of the men, —For the tribe of Judah, Caleb son of Jephunneh;
And these are the names of the men: for the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh;
20 And, for the tribe of the sons of Simeon, Shemuel son of Ammihud:
and for the tribe of the children of Simeon, Samuel the son of Ammihud;
21 For the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad son of Chislon;
for the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad the son of Chislon;
22 And, for the tribe of the sons of Dan, a prince—Bukki, son of Jogli:
and for the tribe of the children of Dan, a prince, Bukki the son of Jogli;
23 For the sons of Joseph, For the tribe of the sons of Manasseh, a prince, —Hanniel son of Ephod;
for the children of Joseph: for the tribe of the children of Manasseh, a prince, Hanniel the son of Ephod,
24 And, for the tribe of the sons of Ephraim, a prince, —Kemuel, son of Shiphtan;
and for the tribe of the children of Ephraim, a prince, Kemuel the son of Shiphtan;
25 And, for the tribe of the sons of Zebulun, a prince, —Elizaphan, son of Parnach;
and for the tribe of the children of Zebulun, a prince, Elizaphan the son of Pharnach;
26 And, for the tribe of the sons of Issachar, a prince, —Paltiel son of Azzan;
and for the tribe of the children of Issachar, a prince, Phaltiel the son of Azzan;
27 And, for the tribe of the sons of Asher, a prince, —Ahihud son of Shelomi:
and for the tribe of the children of Asher, a prince, Ahihud the son of Shelomi;
28 And, for the tribe of the sons of Naphtali, a prince, —Pedahel, son of Ammihud.
and for the tribe of the children of Naphtali, a prince, Phedahel the son of Ammihud.
29 These, are they whom Yahweh hath commanded to receive for the sons of Israel their inheritance, in the land of Canaan.
These are they whom Jehovah commanded to distribute to the children of Israel their inheritance in the land of Canaan.
