< Numbers 34 >

1 And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying:
And the LORD 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 to them, When ye come into the land of Canaan; (this [is] the land that shall fall to you for an inheritance, [even] the land of Canaan with its borders.)
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 quarter shall be from the wilderness of Zin along by the border of Edom, and your south border shall be the outmost coast 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 to the ascent of Akrabbim, and pass on to Zin: its limit shall be from the south to 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 form a circuit from Azmon to the river of Egypt, and the limits of it shall be 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 for] the western border, ye shall even have the great sea for a border: 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 designate 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 designate [your border] to the entrance of Hamath; and the limits of the border shall be at 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 on to Ziphron, and the limits of it shall be 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 designate your east 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 limit shall go down from Shepham to Riblah, on the east side of Ain; and the border shall descend, and shall reach to the side 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 Jordan, and the limits of it shall be at the salt sea: This shall be your land with its limits on all sides.
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 inherit by lot, which the LORD 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 Reuben, according to the house of their fathers, and the tribe of the children of Gad according to the house of their fathers, have received [their inheritance]; 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 of Jordan [near] Jericho eastward, towards the sun-rising.
16 Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying:
And the LORD 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 to 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 by inheritance.
19 These, therefore, are the names of the men, —For the tribe of Judah, Caleb son of Jephunneh;
And the names of the men [are] these: of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh.
20 And, for the tribe of the sons of Simeon, Shemuel son of Ammihud:
And of the tribe of the children of Simeon, Shemuel the son of Ammihud.
21 For the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad son of Chislon;
Of 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 the prince of the tribe of the children of Dan, 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;
The prince of the children of Joseph, for the tribe of the children of Manasseh, Hanniel the son of Ephod.
24 And, for the tribe of the sons of Ephraim, a prince, —Kemuel, son of Shiphtan;
And the prince of the tribe of the children of Ephraim, Kemuel the son of Shiphtan.
25 And, for the tribe of the sons of Zebulun, a prince, —Elizaphan, son of Parnach;
And the prince of the tribe of the children of Zebulun, Elizaphan the son of Parnach.
26 And, for the tribe of the sons of Issachar, a prince, —Paltiel son of Azzan;
And the prince of the tribe of the children of Issachar, Paltiel the son of Azzan.
27 And, for the tribe of the sons of Asher, a prince, —Ahihud son of Shelomi:
And the prince of the tribe of the children of Asher, Ahihud the son of Shelomi.
28 And, for the tribe of the sons of Naphtali, a prince, —Pedahel, son of Ammihud.
And the prince of the tribe of the children of Naphtali, Pedahel 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 the LORD commanded to divide the inheritance to the children of Israel in the land of Canaan.
