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.

Numbers 34
34
1And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2Command the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: When you are entered into the land of Chanaan, and it shall be fallen into your possession by lot, it shall be bounded by these limits.
3The south side shall begin from the wilderness of Sin, which is by Edom, and shall have the most salt sea for its furthest limits eastward.
4Which limits shall go round on the south side by the ascent of the Scorpion and so into Senna, and reach toward the south as far as Cadesbarne: from whence the frontiers shall go out to the town called Adar, and shall reach as far as Asemona.
5And the limits shall fetch a compass from Asemona to the torrent of Egypt, and shall end in the shore of the great sea.
6And the west side shall begin from the great sea: and the same shall be the end thereof.
7But toward the north side the borders shall begin from the great sea, reaching to the most high mountain:
8From which they shall come to Emath, as far as the borders of Sedada.
9And the limits shall go as far as Zephrona, and the village of Enan. These shall be the borders on the north side.
10From thence they shall mark out the bounds towards the east side from the village of Enan unto Sephama.
11And from Sephama the bounds shall go down to Rebla over against the fountain of Daphnis. From thence they shall come eastward to the sea of Cenereth:
12And shall reach as far as the Jordan: and at the last shall be closed in by the most salt sea. This shall be your land with its borders round about.
13And Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying: This shall be the land which you shall possess by lot, and which the Lord hath commanded to be given to the nine tribes, and to the half tribe.
14For the tribe of the children of Ruben by their families, and the tribe of the children of Gad according to the number of their kindreds, and half of the tribe of Manasses,
15(That is, two tribes and a half) have received their portion beyond the Jordan, over against Jericho, at the east side.
16And the Lord said to Moses:
17These are the names of the men, that shall divide the land unto you. Eleazar the priest, and Josue the son of Nun,
18And one prince of every tribe:
19Whose names are these: Of the tribe of Juda, Caleb the son of Jephone.
20Of the tribe of Simeon, Samuel the son of Ammiud.
21Of the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad the son of Chaselon.
22Of the tribe of the children of Dan, Bocci the son of Jogli.
23Of the children of Joseph, of the tribe of Manasses, Hanniel the son of Ephod.
24Of the tribe of Ephraim, Camuel the son of Sephtan.
25Of the tribe of Zabulon, Elisaphan the son of Pharnach.
26Of the tribe of Issachar, Phaltiel the prince, the son of Ozan.
27Of the tribe of Aser, Ahiud the son of Salomi.
28Of the tribe of Nephtali, Phedael the son of Ammiud.
29These are they whom the Lord hath commanded to divide the land of Chanaan to the children of Israel.
