Numbers 34

1 And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying, 2 “Command the sons of Israel, and you will say to them: When you are coming into the land of Canaan—this will be the land which falls to you by inheritance, the land of Canaan, by its borders— 3 then the south quarter will be to you from the wilderness of Zin, by the sides of Edom, indeed, the south border will be to you from the extremity of the Salt Sea eastward. 4 And the border will turn around to you from the Negev to the ascent of Akrabbim, and will pass on to Zin, and its outgoings will be from the Negev to Kadesh-Barnea, and it will go out at Hazar-Addar, and pass on to Azmon. 5 And the border will turn around from Azmon to the Brook of Egypt, and its outgoings will be at the sea. 6 As for the west border, even the Great Sea will be a border to you. This will be the west border to you. 7 And this will be the north border to you: from the Great Sea you will mark out for yourselves Mount Hor. 8 From Mount Hor you will mark out to go to Hamath, and the outgoings of the border will be to Zedad. 9 And the border will go out to Ziphron, and its outgoings will be at Hazar-Enan. This will be the north border to you. 10 And you will mark out for yourselves for the border eastward, from Hazar-Enan to Shepham. 11 And the border will go down from Shepham to Riblah, on the east of Ain, and the border will go down, and strike against the shoulder of the Sea of Chinnereth eastward. 12 And the border will go down to the Jordan, and its outgoings will be at the Salt Sea. This will be the land for you by its borders all around.” 13 And Moses commanded the sons of Israel, saying, “This is the land which you will inherit by lot, which YHWH has commanded to give to the nine tribes and the half of the tribe. 14 For the tribe of the sons of Reuben, by the house of their fathers, and the tribe of the children of Gad, by the house of their fathers, will receive their inheritance. And those of the half of the tribe of Manasseh will receive their inheritance. 15 The two tribes and the half of the tribe will receive their inheritance beyond the Jordan, near Jericho, eastward, at the sun-rising.” 16 And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying, 17 “These are the names of the men who will give the inheritance of the land to you: Eleazar the priest and Joshua son of Nun. 18 And one prince—you will take one prince from a tribe to give the land by inheritance. 19 And these are the names of the men: of the tribe of Judah, Caleb son of Jephunneh. 20 And of the tribe of the sons of Simeon, Shemuel son of Aminihud. 21 Of the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad son of Chislon. 22 And a prince of the tribe of the sons of Dan, Bukki son of Jogli. 23 Of the sons of Joseph, a prince of the tribe of the sons of Manasseh, Hanniel son of Ephod. 24 And a prince of the tribe of the sons of Ephraim, Kemuel son of Shiphtan. 25 And a prince of the tribe of the sons of Zebulun, Elizaphan son of Parnach. 26 And a prince of the tribe of the sons of Issachar, Paltiel son of Azzan. 27 And a prince of the tribe of the sons of Asher, Ahihud son of Shelomi. 28 And a prince of the tribe of the sons of Naphtali, Pedahel son of Ammihud.” 29 These were those whom YHWH had commanded to give the sons of Israel inheritance in the land of Canaan.
