Numbers 34:1-29

34  And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying:  Command the sons of Israel, and thou shalt say unto them, When ye are coming into the land of Canaan, this is the land which shall fall unto you as an inheritance, even the land of Canaan by the boundaries thereof.  Ye shall therefore have a south corner from the desert of Zin on the side of Edom,—so shall ye have a south boundary, from the end of the salt sea eastward;  and the boundary shall go round for you from the south towards the cliffs of Akrabbim, then cross over towards Zin, and the extension thereof shall be from the south to Kadesh-barnea,—then shall it reach out to Hazar-addar and cross over towards Azmon;  then shall the boundary turn round from Azmon towards the ravine of Egypt,—and the extension thereof shall be towards the sea.  And for a west boundary—ye shall have the great sea even a boundary,—this shall serve you as a west boundary.  And this shall serve you as a north boundary,—From the great sea ye shall draw a line for you to Mount Hor:  From Mount Hor ye shall draw a line to the entering in of Hamath,—and the extension of the boundary shall be towards Zedad;  then shall the boundary reach out towards Ziphron, and the extension thereof be to Hazar-enân. This shall serve you as a north boundary. 10  Then shall ye draw for yourselves a line for an east boundary,—from Hazar-enân towards Shephâm; 11  and the boundary shall go down from Shephâm towards Riblah on the east of Ain,—then shall the boundary go down and strike on the side of the Sea of Chinnereth eastward; 12  then shall the boundary go down towards the Jordan, and the extension thereof be to the salt sea. This shall be your land by the boundaries thereof round about. 13  And Moses commanded the sons of Israel, saying,—This is the land which ye shall inherit by lot, which Yahweh had commanded to be given to the nine tribes and the half tribe. 14  For the tribe of the sons of the Reubenites by their ancestral house, and the tribe of the sons of Gad by their ancestral house, have received,—and the half 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 eastwards, towards sunrise. 16  Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying: 17  These are the names of the men who shall receive for you the land as an inheritance,—Eleazar the priest, and Joshua son of Nun. 18  Also one prince from each tribe shall ye take to receive the land as an inheritance. 19  These, therefore, are the names of the men,—For the tribe of Judah, Caleb son of Jephunneh; 20  And for the tribe of the sons of Simeon, Shemuel son of Ammihud: 21  For the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad son of Chislon; 22  And for the tribe of the sons of Dan, a prince—Bukki son of Jogli: 23  For the sons of Joseph, For the tribe of the sons of Manasseh, a prince,—Hanniel son of Ephod; 24  And for the tribe of the sons of Ephraim, a prince,—Kemuel son of Shiphtân; 25  And for the tribe of the sons of Zebulun, a prince,—Elizaphân son of Parnach; 26  And for the tribe of the sons of Issachar, a prince,—Paltiel son of Azzân; 27  And for the tribe of the sons of Asher, a prince,—Ahihud son of Shelomi: 28  And for the tribe of the sons of Naphtali, a prince,—Pedahel son of Ammihud. 29  These are they whom Yahweh hath commanded to receive—for the sons of Israel—their inheritance in the land of Canaan.
