Numbers 34
1And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2“Instruct the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them: When you will have entered into the land of Canaan, and it has fallen into your possession by lot, it shall be bound by these limits:
3The southern part shall begin from the wilderness of Sin, which is next to Edom, and it shall have the Sea of Salt as a limit to the east.
4It shall circle on the south side along the ascent of the Scorpion, by this way crossing into Senna, and passing through, from the south, as far as Kadesh-barnea, from which its confines shall go out to the town called Adar, and extend even to Azmon.
5And its limits shall go around from Azmon to the Torrent of Egypt, and shall end at the shore of the Great Sea.
6Then the western region shall begin from the Great Sea, and the same shall be its end.
7Furthermore, toward the northern region, its limits shall begin from the Great Sea, passing through even to the highest mountain.
8From there, it limits shall advance into Hamath, as far as the limits of Zedad.
9And its confines shall go all the way to Ziphron, and to the village of Enan. These shall be the limits on the northern side.
10From there, its limits shall be measured, facing the east side, from the village of Enan as far as Shepham.
11And from Shepham, the boundaries shall descend into Riblah, opposite the fountain of Daphnis. From there, the boundaries shall pass through, opposite the east, to the Sea of Chinnereth,
12and shall extend as far as the Jordan, and, at the furthest extent, shall be enclosed by the Sea of Salt. You shall have this land, with its borders all around.”
13And Moses instructed the sons of Israel, saying: “This shall be the land which you shall possess by lot, and which the Lord has ordered to be given to the nine tribes, and to the half tribe.
14For the tribe of the sons of Ruben, by their families, and the tribe of the sons of Gad, according to the number of their kinships, and also one half of the tribe of Manasseh,
15that is, two and a half tribes, have received their portion across the Jordan, opposite Jericho, toward the eastern side.”
16And the Lord said to Moses:
17“These are the names of the men, who shall divide the land for you: Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun,
18and one leader from each tribe,
19whose names are these: from the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh;
20from the tribe of Simeon, Samuel the son of Ammihud;
21from the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad the son of Chislon;
22from the tribe of the sons of Dan, Bukki the son of Jogli;
23of the sons of Joseph, from the tribe of Manasseh, Hanniel the son of Ephod;
24from the tribe of Ephraim, Kemuel the son of Shiphtan;
25from the tribe of Zebulon, Elizaphan the son of Parnach;
26from the tribe of Issachar, Paltiel the leader, the son of Azzan;
27from the tribe of Asher, Ahihud the son of Shelomi;
28from the tribe of Naphtali, Pedahel the son of Ammihud.”
29These are the ones that the Lord has ordered to divide the land of Canaan to the sons of Israel.
1And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
2Command the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land of Canaan; (this is the land that shall fall unto you for an inheritance, even the land of Canaan with the coasts thereof:)
3Then your south quarter shall be from the wilderness of Zin along by the coast of Edom, and your south border shall be the outmost coast of the salt sea eastward:
4And your border shall turn from the south to the ascent of Akrabbim, and pass on to Zin: and the going forth thereof shall be from the south to Kadesh–barnea, and shall go on to Hazar–addar, and pass on to Azmon:
5And the border shall fetch a compass from Azmon unto the river of Egypt, and the goings out of it shall be at the sea.
6And as for the western border, ye shall even have the great sea for a border: this shall be your west border.
7And this shall be your north border: from the great sea ye shall point out for you mount Hor:
8From mount Hor ye shall point out your border unto the entrance of Hamath; and the goings forth of the border shall be to Zedad:
9And the border shall go on to Ziphron, and the goings out of it shall be at Hazar–enan: this shall be your north border.
10And ye shall point out your east border from Hazar–enan to Shepham:
11And the coast shall go down from Shepham to Riblah, on the east side of Ain; and the border shall descend, and shall reach unto the side of the sea of Chinnereth eastward:
12And the border shall go down to Jordan, and the goings out of it shall be at the salt sea: this shall be your land with the coasts thereof round about.
13And Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying, This is the land which ye shall inherit by lot, which the Lord commanded to give unto the nine tribes, and to the half tribe:
14For 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:
15The two tribes and the half tribe have received their inheritance on this side Jordan near Jericho eastward, toward the sunrising.
16And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
17These are the names of the men which shall divide the land unto you: Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun.
18And ye shall take one prince of every tribe, to divide the land by inheritance.
19And the names of the men are these: Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh.
20And of the tribe of the children of Simeon, Shemuel the son of Ammihud.
21Of the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad the son of Chislon.
22And the prince of the tribe of the children of Dan, Bukki the son of Jogli.
23The prince of the children of Joseph, for the tribe of the children of Manasseh, Hanniel the son of Ephod.
24And the prince of the tribe of the children of Ephraim, Kemuel the son of Shiphtan.
25And the prince of the tribe of the children of Zebulun, Elizaphan the son of Parnach.
26And the prince of the tribe of the children of Issachar, Paltiel the son of Azzan.
27And the prince of the tribe of the children of Asher, Ahihud the son of Shelomi.
28And the prince of the tribe of the children of Naphtali, Pedahel the son of Ammihud.
29These are they whom the Lord commanded to divide the inheritance unto the children of Israel in the land of Canaan.
