Bemiḏbar (Numbers) 34
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.

Numbers 34

The Boundaries of the Land
1The LORD gave Moses 2the following instructions for the people of Israel: “When you enter Canaan, the land which I am giving you, the borders of your territory will be as follows. 3The southern border will extend from the wilderness of Zin along the border of Edom. It will begin on the east at the southern end of the Dead Sea. 4Then it will turn southwards towards Akrabbim Pass and continue on through Zin as far south as Kadesh Barnea. Then it will turn north-west to Hazar Addar and on to Azmon, 5where it will turn towards the valley at the border of Egypt and end at the Mediterranean.
6“The western border will be the Mediterranean Sea.
7“The northern border will follow a line from the Mediterranean to Mount Hor 8and from there to Hamath Pass. It will continue to Zedad 9and to Ziphron, and will end at Hazar Enan.
10“The eastern border will follow a line from Hazar Enan to Shepham. 11It will then go south to Harbel, east of Ain, and on to the hills on the eastern shore of Lake Galilee, 12then south along the River Jordan to the Dead Sea.
“These will be the four borders of your land.”

Josh 14.1–5
So Moses said to the Israelites, “This is the land that you will receive by drawing lots, the land that the LORD has assigned to the nine and a half tribes. 14The tribes of Reuben and Gad and the eastern half of Manasseh have received their property, divided according to their families, 15on the eastern side of the Jordan, opposite Jericho.”
The Leaders Responsible for Dividing the Land
16The LORD said to Moses, 17“Eleazar the priest and Joshua son of Nun will divide the land for the people. 18Take also one leader from each tribe to help them divide it.” 19-28These are the men the LORD chose:
Tribe | Leader |
---|---|
Judah | Caleb son of Jephunneh |
Simeon | Shelumiel son of Ammihud |
Benjamin | Elidad son of Chislon |
Dan | Bukki son of Jogli |
Manasseh | Hanniel son of Ephod |
Ephraim | Kemuel son of Shiphtan |
Zebulun | Elizaphan son of Parnach |
Issachar | Paltiel son of Azzan |
Asher | Ahihud son of Shelomi |
Naphtali | Pedahel son of Ammihud |
29These are the men that the LORD assigned to divide the property for the people of Israel in the land of Canaan.
