迦南地的境界

34 耶和華對摩西說: “你要吩咐以色列人說:‘你們進了迦南地的時候,歸你們作產業的迦南地及它的四境就是以下這些地區。 你們南面的地區要從尋的曠野,貼著以東邊界;你們的南界要從鹽海東面的盡頭起; 你們的邊界要轉到亞克拉濱坡的南邊,經過尋,直達加低斯.巴尼亞的南邊,又出到哈薩.亞達,過到押們; 你們的邊界要從押們轉到埃及河,直達到海。

“‘西界方面,你們有大海和海岸;這要作你們的西界。

“‘你們的北界如下:從大海起畫界,直到何珥山; 從何珥山起畫界,直到哈馬口,使邊界直到西達達; 這邊界再伸到西斐崙,直到哈薩.以難;這要作你們的北界。

10 “‘你們要從哈薩.以難,畫到示番為東界。 11 這邊界要從示番下到亞延東面的利比拉;這邊界要繼續伸展直達基尼烈湖的東邊。 12 這邊界要下到約旦河,直到鹽海。這要作你們的土地四周的邊界。’”

13 摩西吩咐以色列人說:“這就是你們要抽籤承受為業之地,是耶和華吩咐給九個半支派的; 14 因為流本子孫的支派和迦得子孫的支派,按著父家已經取得了產業,瑪拿西的半個支派也取得了產業; 15 這兩個半支派已經在耶利哥對面,約旦河東岸,向日出之地得了產業。”

監管分地的人員

16 耶和華對摩西說: 17 “這是要把地業分配給你們的人的名字:以利亞撒祭司和嫩的兒子約書亞。 18 你們又要從每支派中選出一個領袖,來幫助分配地業。 19 這些人的名字是:猶大支派有耶孚尼的兒子迦勒。 20 西緬子孫的支派有亞米忽的兒子示母利。 21 便雅憫支派有基斯倫的兒子以利達。 22 但子孫的支派有一個領袖,是約利的兒子布基。 23 約瑟的後裔,瑪拿西子孫的支派有一個領袖,是以弗的兒子漢聶。 24 以法蓮子孫的支派有一個領袖,是拾弗但的兒子基母利。 25 西布倫子孫的支派有一個領袖,是帕納的兒子以利撒番。 26 以薩迦子孫的支派有一個領袖,是阿散的兒子帕鐵。 27 亞設子孫的支派有一個領袖,是示羅米的兒子亞希忽。 28 拿弗他利子孫的支派有一個領袖,是亞米忽的兒子比大黑。” 29 這些人,就是耶和華所吩咐,把產業分給迦南地的以色列人的。

Boundaries of Canaan

34 The Lord said to Moses, “Command the Israelites and say to them: ‘When you enter Canaan,(A) the land that will be allotted to you as an inheritance(B) is to have these boundaries:(C)

“‘Your southern side will include some of the Desert of Zin(D) along the border of Edom. Your southern boundary will start in the east from the southern end of the Dead Sea,(E) cross south of Scorpion Pass,(F) continue on to Zin and go south of Kadesh Barnea.(G) Then it will go to Hazar Addar and over to Azmon,(H) where it will turn, join the Wadi of Egypt(I) and end at the Mediterranean Sea.

“‘Your western boundary will be the coast of the Mediterranean Sea.(J) This will be your boundary on the west.(K)

“‘For your northern boundary,(L) run a line from the Mediterranean Sea to Mount Hor(M) and from Mount Hor to Lebo Hamath.(N) Then the boundary will go to Zedad, continue to Ziphron and end at Hazar Enan. This will be your boundary on the north.

10 “‘For your eastern boundary,(O) run a line from Hazar Enan to Shepham. 11 The boundary will go down from Shepham to Riblah(P) on the east side of Ain(Q) and continue along the slopes east of the Sea of Galilee.[a](R) 12 Then the boundary will go down along the Jordan and end at the Dead Sea.

“‘This will be your land, with its boundaries on every side.’”

13 Moses commanded the Israelites: “Assign this land by lot(S) as an inheritance.(T) The Lord has ordered that it be given to the nine and a half tribes, 14 because the families of the tribe of Reuben, the tribe of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance.(U) 15 These two and a half tribes have received their inheritance east of the Jordan across from Jericho, toward the sunrise.”

16 The Lord said to Moses, 17 “These are the names of the men who are to assign the land for you as an inheritance: Eleazar the priest and Joshua(V) son of Nun. 18 And appoint one leader from each tribe to help(W) assign the land.(X) 19 These are their names:(Y)

Caleb(Z) son of Jephunneh,

from the tribe of Judah;(AA)

20 Shemuel son of Ammihud,

from the tribe of Simeon;(AB)

21 Elidad son of Kislon,

from the tribe of Benjamin;(AC)

22 Bukki son of Jogli,

the leader from the tribe of Dan;

23 Hanniel son of Ephod,

the leader from the tribe of Manasseh(AD) son of Joseph;

24 Kemuel son of Shiphtan,

the leader from the tribe of Ephraim(AE) son of Joseph;

25 Elizaphan son of Parnak,

the leader from the tribe of Zebulun;(AF)

26 Paltiel son of Azzan,

the leader from the tribe of Issachar;

27 Ahihud son of Shelomi,

the leader from the tribe of Asher;(AG)

29 These are the men the Lord commanded to assign the inheritance to the Israelites in the land of Canaan.(AH)
