1 locutus est Dominus ad Mosen

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

2 praecipe filiis Israhel et dices ad eos cum ingressi fueritis terram Chanaan et in possessionem vobis sorte ceciderit his finibus terminabitur

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:

3 pars meridiana incipiet a solitudine Sin quae est iuxta Edom et habebit terminos contra orientem mare Salsissimum

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:

4 qui circumibunt australem plagam per ascensum Scorpionis ita ut transeant Senna et perveniant in meridiem usque ad Cadesbarne unde egredientur confinia ad villam nomine Addar et tendent usque Asemona

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.

5 ibitque per gyrum terminus ab Asemona usque ad torrentem Aegypti et maris Magni litore finietur

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

6 plaga autem occidentalis a mari Magno incipiet et ipso fine cludetur

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

7 porro ad septentrionalem plagam a mari Magno termini incipient pervenientes usque ad montem Altissimum

8 a quo venies in Emath usque ad terminos Sedada

9 ibuntque confinia usque Zephrona et villam Henan hii erunt termini in parte aquilonis

10 inde metabuntur fines contra orientalem plagam de villa Henan usque Sephama

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

11 et de Sephama descendent termini in Rebla contra fontem inde pervenient contra orientem ad mare Chenereth

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,

12 et tendent usque Iordanem et ad ultimum Salsissimo cludentur mari hanc habebitis terram per fines suos in circuitu

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.

13 praecepitque Moses filiis Israhel dicens haec erit terra quam possidebitis sorte et quam iussit dari Dominus novem tribubus et dimidiae tribui

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.

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,
