Numbers Chapter 34

1 ¶ And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

2 Give orders to the children of Israel, and say to them, When you enter the land of Canaan; (this is the land that you shall receive as an inheritance, the land of Canaan with these borders:)

3 Your southern border shall extend to the wilderness of Sin along the side of Edom, and your southern boundary on the east shall begin at the east end of the salt sea:

4 And your border shall turn south of the ascent of Akrabbim, and pass on to Sin: and its end shall be south of Kadeshbarnea, and shall go on to Hazaraddar, and pass on to Azmon:

5 Then the border shall turn from Azmon to the brook of Egypt, and it shall end at the sea.

6 And for the western border, you shall have the great sea as a border: this shall be your western border.

7 And this shall be your northern border: from the great sea mark out your boundary eastward to mount Hor:

8 From mount Hor you shall mark out your border to the entrance of Hamath; and its end shall be at Zedad:

9 And the border shall extend to Ziphron, and its end shall be at Hazarenan: this shall be your northern border.

10 And you shall mark your eastern border from Hazarenan to Shepham:

11 And the boundary shall go down from Shepham to Riblah, on the east side of Ain; and the border shall descend, and shall reach to the side of the sea of Chinnereth on the east:

12 And the border shall go down to the Jordan, and shall end at the salt sea: this shall be your land with its boundaries all around.

13 And Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying, This is the land which you shall inherit by lot, which the LORD commanded to give to the nine tribes, and to the half tribe:

14 For the tribe of the children of Reuben according to the house of their fathers, and the tribe of the children of Gad according to the house of their fathers, have received their inheritance; and half the tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance:

15 The two tribes and the half tribe have received their inheritance on this side of the Jordan near Jericho eastward, toward the sunrise.

16 ¶ And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

17 These are the names of the men who shall divide the land to you: Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun.

18 And with them you shall choose one leader from every tribe, to divide the land for inheritance.

19 And the names of the men are these: From the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh.

20 And from the tribe of the children of Simeon, Shemuel the son of Ammihud.

21 From the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad the son of Chislon.

22 And the leader of the tribe of the children of Dan, Bukki the son of Jogli.

23 The leader of the children of Joseph, for the tribe of the children of Manasseh, Hanniel the son of Ephod.

24 And the leader of the tribe of the children of Ephraim, Kemuel the son of Shiphtan.

25 And the leader of the tribe of the children of Zebulun, Elizaphan the son of Parnach.

26 And the leader of the tribe of the children of Issachar, Paltiel the son of Azzan.

27 And the leader of the tribe of the children of Asher, Ahihud the son of Shelomi.

28 And the leader of the tribe of the children of Naphtali, Pedahel the son of Ammihud.

29 These are those whom the LORD commanded to divide the inheritance to the children of Israel in the land of Canaan.
