Bemiḏbar (Numbers) 34

1And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,
2“Command the children of Yisra’ĕl, and say to them, ‘When you come into the land of Kena‛an, this is the land which falls to you as an inheritance, the land of Kena‛an to its boundaries:
3Then your southern border shall be from the Wilderness of Tsin along the border of Eḏom, and your southern border shall be eastward from the end of the Salt Sea.
4Then your border shall turn from the southern side of the Ascent of Aqrabbim, continue to Tsin, and be on the south of Qaḏĕsh Barnĕa, and it shall go on to Ḥatsar Addar, and continue to Atsmon.
5And the border shall turn from Atsmon to the wadi of Mitsrayim, and it shall end at the Sea.
6As for the western border, you shall have the Great Sea for a border, this is your western border.
7And this is your northern border: From the Great Sea you mark out your borderline to Mount Hor,
8from Mount Hor you mark out your border to the entrance of Ḥamath, and the edge of the border shall be toward Tseḏaḏ,
9and the border shall proceed to Ziphron, and it shall end at Ḥatsar Ěnan. This is your northern border.
10And you shall mark out your eastern border from Ḥatsar Ěnan to Shepham,
11and the border shall go down from Shepham to Riḇlah on the east side of Ayin, and the border shall go down and reach to the eastern side of the Sea of Kinnereth.
12And the border shall go down along the Yardĕn, and it shall end at the Salt Sea. This is your land with its surrounding boundaries.’ ”
13And Mosheh commanded the children of Yisra’ĕl, saying, “This is the land which you inherit by lot, which יהוה has commanded to give to the nine tribes and to the half-tribe.
14“For the tribe of the children of Re’uḇĕn according to the house of their fathers, and the tribe of the children of Gaḏ according to the house of their fathers, have received their inheritance. And the half-tribe of Menashsheh has received its inheritance.
15“The two tribes and the half-tribe have received their inheritance beyond the Yardĕn of Yeriḥo eastward, toward the sunrise.”
16And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,
17“These are the names of the men who divide the land among you as an inheritance: El‛azar the priest, and Yehoshua son of Nun.
18“And take one leader of every tribe to divide the land for the inheritance.
19“And these are the names of the men. From the tribe of Yehuḏah: Kalĕḇ son of Yephunneh.
20“And from the tribe of the children of Shim‛on: Shemu’ĕl son of Ammihuḏ.
21“From the tribe of Binyamin: Eliḏaḏ son of Kislon.
22“And a leader from the tribe of the children of Dan: Buqqi son of Yoḡli.
23“From the sons of Yosĕph: a leader from the tribe of the children of Menashsheh, Ḥanni’ĕl son of Ěphoḏ.
24“And a leader from the tribe of the children of Ephrayim: Qemu’ĕl son of Shiphtan.
25“And a leader from the tribe of the children of Zeḇulun: Elitsaphan son of Parnaḵ.
26“And a leader from the tribe of the children of Yissasḵar: Palti’ĕl son of Azzan.
27“And a leader from the tribe of the children of Ashĕr: Aḥihuḏ son of Shelomi.
28“And a leader from the tribe of the children of Naphtali: Peḏah’ĕl son of Ammihuḏ.”
29These are the ones יהוה commanded to divide the inheritance among the children of Yisra’ĕl in the land of Kena‛an.

Boundaries of the Promised Land
1The Lord spoke to Moses, 2“Command the Israelites and say to them: When you enter the land of Canaan, it will be allotted to you as an inheritance#34:2 Lit inheritance — the land of Canaan with these borders:
3Your southern side will be from the Wilderness of Zin along the boundary of Edom. Your southern border on the east will begin at the east end of the Dead Sea. 4Your border will turn south of the Scorpions’ Ascent,#34:4 Lit of Scorpions; Jos 15:3; Jdg 1:36 proceed to Zin, and end south of Kadesh-barnea. It will go to Hazar-addar and proceed to Azmon.#Jos 15:3; Jdg 1:36 5The border will turn from Azmon#Jos 15:4 to the Brook of Egypt,#Jos 15:47; Is 27:12; Ezk 47:19 where it will end at the Mediterranean Sea.
6Your western border will be the coastline of the Mediterranean Sea; this will be your western border.
7This will be your northern border: From the Mediterranean Sea draw a line to Mount Hor;#Nm 20:22–28; 33:37–56 8from Mount Hor draw a line to the entrance of Hamath,#34:8 Or to Lebo-hamath#Nm 13:21; 2Kg 14:25; 2Ch 7:8; Ezk 48:1 and the border will reach Zedad.#Ezk 47:15 9Then the border will go to Ziphron and end at Hazar-enan.#Ezk 47:17; 48:1 This will be your northern border.
10For your eastern border, draw a line from Hazar-enan to Shepham. 11The border will go down from Shepham to Riblah east of Ain.#Jos 15:32 It will continue down and reach the eastern slope of the Sea of Chinnereth.#34:11 = the Sea of Galilee; Jos 12:3; 13:27; Lk 5:1#Jos 12:3; 13:27; Lk 5:1 12Then the border will go down to the Jordan and end at the Dead Sea. This will be your land defined by its borders on all sides.”
13So Moses commanded the Israelites, “This is the land you are to receive by lot as an inheritance, which the Lord commanded to be given to the nine and a half tribes. 14For the tribe of Reuben’s descendants and the tribe of Gad’s descendants have received their inheritance according to their ancestral families,#34:14 Lit the house of their fathers and half the tribe of Manasseh has received its inheritance. 15The two and a half tribes have received their inheritance#Nm 32:33 across the Jordan east of Jericho, toward the sunrise.”
Leaders for Distributing the Land
16The Lord spoke to Moses, 17“These are the names of the men who are to distribute the land as an inheritance for you: the priest Eleazar and Joshua son of Nun. 18Take one leader from each tribe to distribute the land. 19These are the names of the men:
Caleb#Nm 14:6,24,30,38; 26:65 son of Jephunneh from the tribe of Judah;
20Shemuel son of Ammihud from the tribe of Simeon’s descendants;
21Elidad son of Chislon from the tribe of Benjamin;
22Bukki son of Jogli, a leader from the tribe of Dan’s descendants;
23from the sons of Joseph:
Hanniel son of Ephod, a leader from the tribe of Manasseh’s descendants,
24Kemuel son of Shiphtan, a leader from the tribe of Ephraim’s descendants;
25Eli-zaphan son of Parnach, a leader from the tribe of Zebulun’s descendants;
26Paltiel son of Azzan, a leader from the tribe of Issachar’s descendants;
27Ahihud son of Shelomi, a leader from the tribe of Asher’s descendants;
28Pedahel son of Ammihud, a leader from the tribe of Naphtali’s descendants.”
29These are the ones the Lord commanded to distribute the inheritance to the Israelites in the land of Canaan.
