Numbers Chapter 34 Back Next{34:1} Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
{34:2} "Command the children of
Israel, and tell them, 'When you come into the land of
Canaan (this is the land that shall fall to you for an inheritance, even the land of Canaan according to its borders),
{34:3} then your south quarter shall be from the wilderness of Zin along by the side of
Edom, and your south border shall be from the end of the Salt Sea eastward;
{34:4} and your border shall turn about southward of the ascent of
Akrabbim, and pass along to Zin; and the goings out of it shall be southward of
Kadesh Barnea; and it shall go forth to
Hazar Addar, and pass along to
Azmon;
{34:5} and the border shall turn about from Azmon to the
brook of Egypt, and the goings out of it shall be at the sea.
{34:6} "'For the western border, you shall have the
great sea and its border: this shall be your west border.
{34:7} "'This shall be your north border: from the great sea you shall mark out for you
Mount Hor;
{34:8} from Mount Hor you shall mark out to the entrance of
Hamath; and the goings out of the border shall be at Zedad;
{34:9} and the border shall go forth to Ziphron, and the goings out of it shall be at
Hazar Enan: this shall be your north border.
{34:10} "'You shall mark out your east border from Hazar Enan to Shepham;
{34:11} and the border shall go down from Shepham to Riblah, on the east side of
Ain; and the border shall go down, and shall reach to the side of the sea of
Chinnereth eastward;
{34:12} and the border shall go down to the
Jordan, and the goings out of it shall be at the Salt Sea. This shall be your land according to its borders around it.'"
{34:13} Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying, "This is the land which you shall inherit by lot, which Yahweh has commanded to give to the nine tribes, and to the half-tribe;
{34:14} for the tribe of the children of Reuben according to their
fathers' houses, and the tribe of the children of
Gad according to their fathers' houses, have received, and the half-tribe of
Manasseh have received, their inheritance:
{34:15} the two tribes and the half-tribe have received their inheritance beyond the Jordan at
Jericho eastward, toward the sunrise."
{34:16} Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
{34:17} "These are the names of the men who shall divide the land to you for inheritance:
Eleazar the priest, and
Joshua the son of Nun.
{34:18} You shall take one prince of every tribe, to divide the land for inheritance.
{34:19} These are the names of the men: Of the tribe of
Judah,
Caleb the son of
Jephunneh.
{34:20} Of the tribe of the children of Simeon, Shemuel the son of
Ammihud.
{34:21} Of the tribe of
Benjamin,
Elidad the son of Chislon.
{34:22} Of the tribe of the children of Dan a prince, Bukki the son of Jogli.
{34:23} Of the children of
Joseph: of the tribe of the children of Manasseh a prince,
Hanniel the son of
Ephod.
{34:24} Of the tribe of the children of
Ephraim a prince,
Kemuel the son of Shiphtan.
{34:25} Of the tribe of the children of Zebulun a prince, Elizaphan the son of Parnach.
{34:26} Of the tribe of the children of
Issachar a prince, Paltiel the son of Azzan.
{34:27} Of the tribe of the children of
Asher a prince,
Ahihud the son of Shelomi.
{34:28} Of the tribe of the children of Naphtali a prince, Pedahel the son of Ammihud."
{34:29} These are they whom Yahweh commanded to divide the inheritance to the children of Israel in the land of Canaan.
