Numbers 34

¹Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

²"Command the Israelites, 'When you enter the land of Canaan, this is the land that shall be yours as an inheritance, the land of Canaan according to its boundaries,

³your southern region shall be from the Wilderness of Zin along the side of Edom, and your southern boundary from the end of the Salt (Dead) Sea eastward.

⁴Your boundary shall turn from the south to the ascent of Akrabbim, and continue on to Zin, and its limit shall be south of Kadesh-barnea. Then it shall go on to Hazar-addar and pass on to Azmon.

⁵Then the boundary shall turn from Azmon to the Brook of Egypt (Wadi el-arish), and its limit shall be at the [Mediterranean] Sea.

⁶'As the western boundary you shall have the Great [Mediterranean] Sea and its coastline. This shall be your western boundary.

⁷'And this shall be your north border: from the Great [Mediterranean] Sea mark out your boundary line to[1] Mount Hor;

⁸from Mount Hor you shall mark out your boundary to the entrance of Hamath, and the limit of the border shall be at Zedad;

⁹then the [northern] boundary shall go on to Ziphron, and its limit shall be at Hazar-enan. This shall be your northern boundary.

¹⁰'You shall mark out your eastern boundary from Hazar-enan to Shepham;

¹¹the [eastern] boundary shall go down from Shepham to Riblah on the east side of Ain and shall descend and reach to the[2] slope on the east of the Sea of Chinnereth [the Sea of Galilee];

¹²and the [eastern] boundary shall go down to the Jordan [River], and its limit shall be at the Salt (Dead) Sea. This shall be your land according to its boundaries all around.'"

¹³So Moses commanded the Israelites, saying, "This is the land you are to inherit by lot, which the LORD has commanded to be given to the nine tribes and the half-tribe [of Manasseh],

¹⁴for the tribe of the sons of Reuben and the tribe of the sons of Gad have received their inheritance by their fathers' households, and the half-tribe of Manasseh have received their possession.

¹⁵The two and a half tribes have received their inheritance across the Jordan [River] opposite Jericho, eastward toward the sunrise."

¹⁶Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

¹⁷"These are the names of the men who shall divide the land among you as an inheritance: Eleazar the priest and Joshua the son of Nun.

¹⁸You shall take one leader from every tribe to divide the land for the inheritance.

¹⁹These are the names of the men: From the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh;

²⁰from the tribe of the sons of Simeon, Samuel the son of Ammihud;

²¹from the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad the son of Chislon;

²²from the tribe of the sons of Dan a leader, Bukki the son of Jogli;

²³of the sons of Joseph: from the tribe of the sons of Manasseh a leader, Hanniel the son of Ephod;

²⁴from the tribe of the sons of Ephraim a leader, Kemuel the son of Shiphtan;

²⁵from the tribe of the sons of Zebulun a leader, Elizaphan the son of Parnach;

²⁶from the tribe of the sons of Issachar a leader, Paltiel the son of Azzan;

²⁷from the tribe of the sons of Asher a leader, Ahihud the son of Shelomi;

²⁸from the tribe of the sons of Naphtali a leader, Pedahel the son of Ammihud."

²⁹These are the [twelve] men whom the LORD commanded [to work with Joshua and Eleazar] to divide the inheritance to the sons of Israel in the land of Canaan.
