Numbers 34

Instruction for Apportioning Canaan

1Then the LordH3068 spokeH1696 to MosesH4872, sayingH559, 2“CommandH6680 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 and sayH559 to them, ‘WhenH3588 you enterH935 1the landH776 of CanaanH3667, thisH2088 is the landH776 that shall fallH5307 to you as an inheritanceH5159, even the landH776 of CanaanH3667 according to its bordersH1367. 32Your southernH5045 3sectorH6285 shall 4extendH1961 from the wildernessH4057 of ZinH6790 alongH5921 the sideH3027 of EdomH112, and your southernH5045 borderH1366 shall 5extendH1961 from the endH7097 of the SaltH4417 SeaH3220 6eastwardH6924. 4Then your borderH1366 shall turnH5437 direction from the southH5045 to the ascentH4610 of AkrabbimH4610 and 7continueH5674 to ZinH6790, and its 8terminationH8444 shall be to the southH5045 of 9Kadesh-barneaH6947; and it shall 10reachH3318 HazaraddarH2692 and 11continueH5674 to AzmonH6111. 5The borderH1366 shall turnH5437 direction from AzmonH6111 to the brookH5158 of EgyptH4714, and its terminationH8444 shall be at 12the seaH3220.

6‘As for the westernH3220 borderH1366, you shall haveH1961 the GreatH1419 SeaH3220, that is, its 13coastlineH1366; thisH2088 shall be your westH3220 borderH1366.

7‘14And thisH2088 shall be your northH6828 borderH1366: you shall drawH8376 your border lineH8376 from the GreatH1419 SeaH3220 to MountH2022 HorH2023. 8You shall drawH8376 a lineH8376 from MountH2022 HorH2023 to 15the 16Lebo-hamathH935, and the terminationH8444 of the borderH1366 shall be at ZedadH6657; 9and the borderH1366 shall proceedH3318 to ZiphronH2202, and its terminationH8444 shall be at Hazar-enanH2704. ThisH2088 shall be your northH6828 borderH1366.

10‘For your easternH6924 borderH1366 you shall also drawH184 a lineH1366 from Hazar-enanH2704 to ShephamH8221, 11and the borderH1366 shall goH3381 downH3381 from ShephamH8221 to 17RiblahH7247 on the eastH6924 sideH6924 of AinH5871; and the borderH1366 shall goH3381 downH3381 and reachH4229 to the 18slopeH3802 on the eastH6924 sideH6924 of the SeaH3220 of 19ChinnerethH3672. 12And the borderH1366 shall goH3381 downH3381 to the JordanH3383 and its terminationH8444 shall be at the SaltH4417 SeaH3220. ThisH2088 shall be your landH776 according to its bordersH1367 allH5439 aroundH5439.’”

13So MosesH4872 commandedH6680 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, “20ThisH2088 is the landH776 that you are to apportionH5157 by lotH1486 among you as a possessionH5157, whichH834 the LordH3068 has commandedH6680 to giveH5414 to the nineH8672 and a halfH2677 tribesH4294. 1421For the tribeH4294 of the sonsH1121 of ReubenH7206 have receivedH3947 theirs according to their fathers’H1 householdsH1004, and the tribeH4294 of the sonsH1121 of GadH1410 according to their fathers’H1 householdsH1004, and the half-tribeH2677H4294 of ManassehH4519 have receivedH3947 their possessionH5159. 15The twoH8147 and a halfH2677 tribesH4294 have receivedH3947 their possessionH5159 acrossH4480H5676 the JordanH3383 opposite JerichoH3405, eastwardH6924 toward the sunrisingH4217.”

16Then the LordH3068 spokeH1696 to MosesH4872, sayingH559, 17“22TheseH428 are the namesH8034 of the menH376 whoH834 shall apportionH5157 the landH776 to you for inheritanceH5157: EleazarH499 the priestH3548 and JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of NunH5126. 18You shall takeH3947 oneH259 leaderH5387 of every tribeH4294 to apportionH5157 the landH776 for inheritanceH5157. 19TheseH428 are the namesH8034 of the menH376: of the tribeH4294 of 23JudahH3063, 24CalebH3612 the sonH1121 of JephunnehH3312. 20Of the tribeH4294 of the sonsH1121 of 25SimeonH8095, SamuelH8050 the sonH1121 of AmmihudH5989. 21Of the tribeH4294 of 26BenjaminH1144, ElidadH449 the sonH1121 of ChislonH3692. 22Of the tribeH4294 of the sonsH1121 of DanH1835 a leaderH5387, BukkiH1231 the sonH1121 of JogliH3020. 23Of the sonsH1121 of JosephH3130: of the tribeH4294 of the sonsH1121 of ManassehH4519 a leaderH5387, HannielH2592 the sonH1121 of EphodH641. 24Of the tribeH4294 of the sonsH1121 of EphraimH669 a leaderH5387, KemuelH7055 the sonH1121 of ShiphtanH8204. 25Of the tribeH4294 of the sonsH1121 of ZebulunH2074 a leaderH5387, ElizaphanH469 the sonH1121 of ParnachH6535. 26Of the tribeH4294 of the sonsH1121 of IssacharH3485 a leaderH5387, PaltielH6409 the sonH1121 of AzzanH5821. 27Of the tribeH4294 of the sonsH1121 of AsherH836 a leaderH5387, AhihudH282 the sonH1121 of ShelomiH8015. 28Of the tribeH4294 of the sonsH1121 of NaphtaliH5321 a leaderH5387, PedahelH6300 the sonH1121 of AmmihudH5989.” 29TheseH428 are those whomH834 the LordH3068 commandedH6680 to apportionH5157 the inheritanceH5157 to the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 in the landH776 of CanaanH3667.
