Numbers 34

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 southward toward Akrabbim Pass and continue on through Zin as far south as Kadesh Barnea. Then it will turn northwest to Hazar Addar and on to Azmon,

⁵where it will turn toward 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 Jordan River to the Dead Sea. "These will be the four borders of your land."

¹³So 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 one-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."

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."

¹⁹These 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.
