Numbers 34

(CLV) Numbers 34

1 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying. 2 "Instruct the sons of Israel and say to them: When you are coming into the land of Canaan, this is the land which shall fall to you in allotment, the land of Canaan to its boundaries. 3 Your southward edge will be from the wilderness of Zin along the sides of Edom, and your southward boundary will be from the end of the Salt Sea eastward; 4 your boundary will turn around from the Negev to the ascent of Akrabbim, and it will pass toward Zin (and its border-area will be from the Negev to Kadesh-barnea), and it will go forth to Hazar-addar and pass toward Azmon. 5 The boundary will turn around from Azmon toward the watercourse of Egypt, and its border-area will be toward the sea. 6 As for the western boundary, you will come to have the Great Sea and its coastal territory. This shall be your western boundary. 7 And this shall be your northern boundary:from the Great Sea you shall mark out your line to Mount Hor; 8 from Mount Hor you shall mark it out to Lebo-hamath, and the border-area of the territory will be at Zedad; 9 then the boundary will go forth toward Ziphron, and its border-area will be at Hazar-enan. This shall be your northern boundary. 10 You will mark out for yourselves as an eastward boundary a line from Hazar-enan toward Shepham. 11 The boundary will go down from Shepham toward Riblah on the east side of Ain; the boundary will also go down and abut on the shoulder of the lake of Chinnereth, eastward. 12 Then the boundary will go down along the Jordan, and its border-area will be at the Salt Sea. This shall be your land as to its boundaries round about." 13 Moses instructed the sons of Israel, saying: "This is the land which you shall entail by lot and which Yahweh has instructed to give to nine of the stocks and the half stock of Manasseh. 14 For they have taken, the stock of the sons of the Reubenite by their fathers' house and the stock of the sons of the Gadite by their fathers' house and the half stock of Manasseh, they have taken their allotment. 15 The two stocks and the half stock have taken their allotment across the Jordan of Jericho, eastward toward sunrise." 16 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying. 17 "These are the names of the men who shall allot the land to you: Eleazar the priest and Joshua son of Nun, 18 and one prince, one prince from each stock, shall you take to allot the land. 19 And these are the names of the men: for the stock of Judah, Caleb son of Jephunneh; 20 for the stock of the sons of Simeon, Samuel son of Ammihud; 21 for the stock of Benjamin, Elidad son of Chislon; 22 for the stock of the sons of Dan, prince Bukki son of Jogli; 23 for the sons of Joseph: for the stock of the sons of Manasseh, prince Hanniel son of Ephod, 24 for the stock of the sons of Ephraim, prince Kemuel son of Shiphtan; 25 for the stock of the sons of Zebulun, prince Elizaphan son of Parnach; 26 for the stock of the sons of Issachar, prince Paltiel son of Azzan; 27 for the stock of the sons of Asher, prince Ahihud son of Shelomi; 28 and for the stock of the sons of Naphtali, prince Pedahel son of Ammihud." 29 These are those whom Yahweh had instructed to make the allotment to the sons of Israel in the land of Canaan.
