Numbers 34
- 1
Then the LORD said to Moses, Begin Abide·
- 2
“Command the Israelites and say to them: When you enter the land of Canaan, it will be allotted to you as an inheritance with these boundaries: Begin Abide·
- 3
Your southern border will extend from the Wilderness of Zin along the border of Edom. On the east, your southern border will run from the end of the Salt Sea, Begin Abide·
- 4
cross south of the Ascent of Akrabbim, continue to Zin, and go south of Kadesh-barnea. Then it will go on to Hazar-addar and proceed to Azmon, Begin Abide·
- 5
where it will turn from Azmon, join the Brook of Egypt, and end at the Sea. Begin Abide·
- 6
Your western border will be the coastline of the Great Sea; this will be your boundary on the west. Begin Abide·
- 7
Your northern border will run from the Great Sea directly to Mount Hor, Begin Abide·
- 8
and from Mount Hor to Lebo-hamath, then extend to Zedad, Begin Abide·
- 9
continue to Ziphron, and end at Hazar-enan. This will be your boundary on the north. Begin Abide·
- 10
And your eastern border will run straight from Hazar-enan to Shepham, Begin Abide·
- 11
then go down from Shepham to Riblah on the east side of Ain and continue along the slopes east of the Sea of Chinnereth. Begin Abide·
- 12
Then the border will go down along the Jordan and end at the Salt Sea. This will be your land, defined by its borders on all sides.” Begin Abide·
- 13
So Moses commanded the Israelites, “Apportion this land by lot as an inheritance. The LORD has commanded that it be given to the nine and a half tribes. Begin Abide·
- 14
For the tribes of the Reubenites and Gadites, along with the half-tribe of Manasseh, have already received their inheritance. Begin Abide·
- 15
These two and a half tribes have received their inheritance across the Jordan from Jericho, toward the sunrise.” Begin Abide·
- 16
Then the LORD said to Moses, Begin Abide·
- 17
“These are the names of the men who are to assign the land as an inheritance for you: Eleazar the priest and Joshua son of Nun. Begin Abide·
- 18
Appoint one leader from each tribe to distribute the land. Begin Abide·
- 19
These are their names: Caleb son of Jephunneh from the tribe of Judah; Begin Abide·
- 20
Shemuel son of Ammihud from the tribe of Simeon; Begin Abide·
- 21
Elidad son of Chislon from the tribe of Benjamin; Begin Abide·
- 22
Bukki son of Jogli, a leader from the tribe of Dan; Begin Abide·
- 23
Hanniel son of Ephod, a leader from the tribe of Manasseh son of Joseph; Begin Abide·
- 24
Kemuel son of Shiphtan, a leader from the tribe of Ephraim; Begin Abide·
- 25
Eli-zaphan son of Parnach, a leader from the tribe of Zebulun; Begin Abide·
- 26
Paltiel son of Azzan, a leader from the tribe of Issachar; Begin Abide·
- 27
Ahihud son of Shelomi, a leader from the tribe of Asher; Begin Abide·
- 28
and Pedahel son of Ammihud, a leader from the tribe of Naphtali.” Begin Abide·
- 29
These are the ones whom the LORD commanded to apportion the inheritance to the Israelites in the land of Canaan. Begin Abide·
