34 The Lord said to Moses, 2 ‘Tell the Israelites this: These are the borders of Canaan, the land that will be yours to live in.
3 The south edge will start at the Zin desert and it will go along the border of Edom land. It will continue to the east, and it will reach the south end of the Salt Sea. [ a ] 4 It will go south of the place called Scorpion Hill, and it will continue to Zin. Then it will go south of Kadesh-Barnea. It will go to Hazar-Addar and then across to Azmon. 5 There the border will turn and it will go along the Stream of Egypt. [ b ] It will continue as far as the Mediterranean Sea.
6 The west border of your land will be the coast of the Mediterranean Sea.
7 This will be the north border: From the Mediterranean Sea draw a line to Hor mountain. 8 From Hor mountain the border will go to Lebo-Hamath. Then it will go to Zedad. 9 It will continue to Ziphron and it will finish at Hazar-Enan.
10 This will be the east border: Draw a line from Hazar-Enan to Shepham. 11 Then the border will go from Shepham to Riblah, on the east side of Ain. It will go along the east shore of Lake Galilee. 12 Then it will go along the Jordan River and it will finish at the Salt Sea.
That will be your land, with its borders.’
13 Moses said to the Israelites, ‘That is the land for the Israelites to live in. You must use lots to give part of the land to each tribe. The Lord has told you to give it to the nine and a half tribes. 14 That is because the tribes of Reuben and Gad, and half of Manasseh's tribe have their land already. 15 Their land is on the east side of the Jordan River. It is on the other side of the river from Jericho city.’
16 The Lord said to Moses, 17 ‘Joshua, the son of Nun, and Eleazar the priest will decide which parts of the land will belong to each family. 18 One leader from each tribe must help them. 19 These are the names of those leaders:
Caleb the son of Jephunneh from the tribe of Judah.
20 Shemuel the son of Ammihud from the tribe of Simeon.
21 Elidad the son of Kislon from the tribe of Benjamin.
22 Bukki the son of Jogli from the tribe of Dan.
23 These will be the two leaders from the descendants of Joseph:
Hanniel the son of Ephod from the tribe of Manasseh.
24 Kemuel the son of Shiphtan from the tribe of Ephraim.
25 Then there will be Elizaphan the son of Parnach from the tribe of Zebulun.
26 Paltiel the son of Azzan from the tribe of Issachar.
27 Ahihud the son of Shelomi from the tribe of Asher.
28 Pedahel the son of Ammihud from the tribe of Naphtali.’
29 Those were the men that the Lord chose to decide about the land for the Israelite families.
34 The Lord spoke to Moses. He said, 2 “Speak to the Israelites and tell them this: You will soon enter the land of Canaan. I am giving you that land to be your very own. These will be its borders: 3 On the south, you will get part of the desert of Zin near Edom. Your southern border will start at the south end of the Dead Sea. 4 It will cross south of Scorpion Pass. It will go through the town of Zin to Kadesh Barnea and then to Hazar Addar, and then it will pass through Azmon. 5 From Azmon the border will go to the River of Egypt, [ a ] and it will end at the Mediterranean Sea. 6 Your western border will be the Mediterranean Sea. 7 Your northern border will begin at the Mediterranean Sea and go to Mount Hor. 8 From Mount Hor it will go to Lebo Hamath, and then to Zedad. 9 Then that border will go to Ziphron and it will end at Hazar Enan. So that will be your northern border. 10 Your eastern border will begin at Enan and it will go to Shepham. 11 From Shepham the border will go east of Ain to Riblah. The border will continue along the hills by Lake Galilee. [ b ] 12 Then the border will continue along the Jordan River. It will end at the Dead Sea. These are the borders around your country.”
13 So Moses gave this command to the Israelites, “That is the land that you will get. You will throw lots to divide the land among the nine tribes and half the tribe of Manasseh, as the Lord commanded. 14 The tribes of Reuben and Gad, and half the tribe of Manasseh have already taken their land. 15 These two and a half tribes took the land near Jericho—they took the land east of the Jordan River.”
16 Then the Lord spoke to Moses. He said, 17 “These are the men who will help you divide the land: Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun, 18 and the leaders of all the tribes. There will be one leader from each tribe. These men will divide the land. 19 These are the names of the leaders:
from the tribe of Judah—Caleb son of Jephunneh;
20 from the tribe of Simeon—Shemuel son of Ammihud;
21 from the tribe of Benjamin—Elidad son of Kislon;
22 from the tribe of Dan—Bukki son of Jogli;
23 from the descendants of Joseph;
from the tribe of Manasseh—Hanniel son of Ephod;
24 from the tribe of Ephraim—Kemuel son of Shiphtan;
25 from the tribe of Zebulun—Elizaphan son of Parnach;
26 from the tribe of Issachar—Paltiel son of Azzan;
27 from the tribe of Asher—Ahihud son of Shelomi;
28 from the tribe of Naphtali—Pedahel son of Ammihud.”
29 The Lord chose these men to divide the land of Canaan among the Israelites.
34 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Command 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:)
3 Then 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:
4 And 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 Kadeshbarnea, and shall go on to Hazaraddar, and pass on to Azmon:
5 And the border shall fetch a compass from Azmon unto the river of Egypt, and the goings out of it shall be at the sea.
6 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 be your north border: from the great sea ye shall point out for you mount Hor:
8 From mount Hor ye shall point out your border unto the entrance of Hamath; and the goings forth of the border shall be to Zedad:
9 And the border shall go on to Ziphron, and the goings out of it shall be at Hazarenan: this shall be your north border.
10 And ye shall point out your east border from Hazarenan to Shepham:
11 And 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:
12 And 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.
13 And 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:
14 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 eastward, toward the sunrising.
16 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
17 These are the names of the men which shall divide the land unto you: Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun.
18 And ye shall take one prince of every tribe, to divide the land by inheritance.
19 And the names of the men are these: Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh.
20 And of the tribe of the children of Simeon, Shemuel the son of Ammihud.
21 Of the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad the son of Chislon.
22 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Dan, Bukki the son of Jogli.
23 The prince of the children of Joseph, for the tribe of the children of Manasseh, Hanniel the son of Ephod.
24 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Ephraim, Kemuel the son of Shiphtan.
25 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Zebulun, Elizaphan the son of Parnach.
26 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Issachar, Paltiel the son of Azzan.
27 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Asher, Ahihud the son of Shelomi.
28 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Naphtali, Pedahel the son of Ammihud.
29 These are they whom the Lord commanded to divide the inheritance unto the children of Israel in the land of Canaan.
34 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2 “Command the sons of Israel and say to them, ‘When you enter ( A ) the land of Canaan, this is the land that shall fall to you as an inheritance, that is, the land of Canaan according to its borders. 3 ( B ) Your southern region shall [ a ] extend from the wilderness of Zin along the side of Edom, and your southern border shall [ b ] extend from the end of the Salt Sea ( C ) eastward. 4 Then your border shall change direction from the south to the ascent of Akrabbim and [ c ] continue to Zin, and its [ d ] termination shall be to the south of ( D ) Kadesh-barnea; and it shall [ e ] reach Hazaraddar and [ f ] continue to Azmon. 5 Then the border shall change direction from Azmon to the brook of Egypt, and its termination shall be at ( E ) the sea.
6 ‘As for the western border, you shall have the Great Sea, that is, its [ g ] coastline; this shall be your western border.
7 ‘ ( F ) And this shall be your northern border: you shall draw your boundary from the Great Sea to Mount Hor. 8 You shall draw a boundary from Mount Hor to ( G ) the [ h ] Lebo-hamath, and the termination of the border shall be at Zedad; 9 and the border shall proceed to Ziphron, and its termination shall be at Hazar-enan. This shall be your northern border.
10 ‘For your eastern border you shall also draw a boundary from Hazar-enan to Shepham, 11 and the border shall go down from Shepham to ( H ) Riblah on the east side of Ain; and the border shall go down and reach to the slope on the east side of the Sea of ( I ) Chinnereth. 12 And the border shall go down to the Jordan, and its termination shall be at the Salt Sea. This shall be your land according to its borders on all sides.’”
13 So Moses commanded the sons of Israel, saying, “ ( J ) This is the land that you are to possess by lot, which the Lord has commanded to give to the nine and a half tribes. 14 ( K ) For the tribe of the sons of Reuben have received theirs according to their fathers’ households, and the tribe of the sons of Gad according to their fathers’ households, and the half-tribe of Manasseh have received their possession. 15 The two and a half tribes have received their possession across the Jordan opposite Jericho, eastward toward the sunrise.”
16 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 17 “ ( L ) These are the names of the men who shall assign the land to you as an inheritance: Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun. 18 And you shall take one leader of each tribe to assign the land as an inheritance. 19 These are the names of the men: of the tribe of ( M ) Judah, ( N ) Caleb the son of Jephunneh. 20 Of the tribe of the sons of ( O ) Simeon, Samuel the son of Ammihud. 21 Of the tribe of ( P ) Benjamin, Elidad the son of Chislon. 22 And of the tribe of the sons of Dan, a leader, Bukki the son of Jogli. 23 Of the sons of Joseph: of the tribe of the sons of Manasseh, a leader, Hanniel the son of Ephod. 24 Of the tribe of the sons of Ephraim, a leader, Kemuel the son of Shiphtan. 25 Of the tribe of the sons of Zebulun, a leader, Elizaphan the son of Parnach. 26 Of the tribe of the sons of Issachar, a leader, Paltiel the son of Azzan. 27 Of the tribe of the sons of Asher, a leader, Ahihud the son of Shelomi. 28 Of the tribe of the sons of Naphtali, a leader, Pedahel the son of Ammihud.” 29 These are the ones whom the Lord commanded to apportion the inheritance to the sons of Israel in the land of Canaan.
34 The Lord said to Moses, 2 “Command the Israelites and say to them: ‘When you enter Canaan, ( A ) the land that will be allotted to you as an inheritance ( B ) is to have these boundaries: ( C )
3 “‘Your southern side will include some of the Desert of Zin ( D ) along the border of Edom. Your southern boundary will start in the east from the southern end of the Dead Sea, ( E ) 4 cross south of Scorpion Pass, ( F ) continue on to Zin and go south of Kadesh Barnea. ( G ) Then it will go to Hazar Addar and over to Azmon, ( H ) 5 where it will turn, join the Wadi of Egypt ( I ) and end at the Mediterranean Sea.
6 “‘Your western boundary will be the coast of the Mediterranean Sea. ( J ) This will be your boundary on the west. ( K )
7 “‘For your northern boundary, ( L ) run a line from the Mediterranean Sea to Mount Hor ( M ) 8 and from Mount Hor to Lebo Hamath. ( N ) Then the boundary will go to Zedad, 9 continue to Ziphron and end at Hazar Enan. This will be your boundary on the north.
10 “‘For your eastern boundary, ( O ) run a line from Hazar Enan to Shepham. 11 The boundary will go down from Shepham to Riblah ( P ) on the east side of Ain ( Q ) and continue along the slopes east of the Sea of Galilee. [ a ] ( R ) 12 Then the boundary will go down along the Jordan and end at the Dead Sea.
“‘This will be your land, with its boundaries on every side.’”
13 Moses commanded the Israelites: “Assign this land by lot ( S ) as an inheritance. ( T ) The Lord has ordered that it be given to the nine and a half tribes, 14 because the families of the tribe of Reuben, the tribe of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance. ( U ) 15 These two and a half tribes have received their inheritance east of the Jordan across from Jericho, toward the sunrise.”
16 The Lord said to Moses, 17 “These are the names of the men who are to assign the land for you as an inheritance: Eleazar the priest and Joshua ( V ) son of Nun. 18 And appoint one leader from each tribe to help ( W ) assign the land. ( X ) 19 These are their names: ( Y )
Caleb ( Z ) son of Jephunneh,
from the tribe of Judah; ( AA )
20 Shemuel son of Ammihud,
from the tribe of Simeon; ( AB )
21 Elidad son of Kislon,
from the tribe of Benjamin; ( AC )
22 Bukki son of Jogli,
the leader from the tribe of Dan;
23 Hanniel son of Ephod,
the leader from the tribe of Manasseh ( AD ) son of Joseph;
24 Kemuel son of Shiphtan,
the leader from the tribe of Ephraim ( AE ) son of Joseph;
25 Elizaphan son of Parnak,
the leader from the tribe of Zebulun; ( AF )
26 Paltiel son of Azzan,
the leader from the tribe of Issachar;
27 Ahihud son of Shelomi,
the leader from the tribe of Asher; ( AG )
28 Pedahel son of Ammihud,
the leader from the tribe of Naphtali.”
29 These are the men the Lord commanded to assign the inheritance to the Israelites in the land of Canaan. ( AH )
