Boundaries of the Promised Land
34 The Lord spoke to Moses, 2 “Command the Israelites and say to them: When you enter the land of Canaan, it will be allotted to you as an inheritance[a] with these borders:
3 Your southern side will be from the Wilderness of Zin along the boundary of Edom. Your southern border on the east will begin at the east end of the Dead Sea. 4 Your border will turn south of the Ascent of Akrabbim,[b] proceed to Zin, and end south of Kadesh-barnea. It will go to Hazar-addar and proceed to Azmon.(A) 5 The border will turn from Azmon(B) to the Brook of Egypt,(C) where it will end at the Mediterranean Sea.
6 Your western border will be the coastline of the Mediterranean Sea; this will be your western border.
7 This will be your northern border: From the Mediterranean Sea draw a line to Mount Hor;[c](D) 8 from Mount Hor draw a line to the entrance of Hamath,[d](E) and the border will reach Zedad.(F) 9 Then the border will go to Ziphron and end at Hazar-enan.(G) This will be your northern border.
10 For your eastern border, draw a line from Hazar-enan to Shepham. 11 The border will go down from Shepham to Riblah east of Ain.(H) It will continue down and reach the eastern slope of the Sea of Chinnereth.[e](I) 12 Then the border will go down to the Jordan and end at the Dead Sea. This will be your land defined by its borders on all sides.”
13 So Moses commanded the Israelites, “This is the land you are to receive by lot as an inheritance, which the Lord commanded to be given to the nine and a half tribes. 14 For the tribe of the Reubenites and the tribe of the Gadites have received their inheritance according to their ancestral houses, and half the tribe of Manasseh has received its inheritance. 15 The two and a half tribes have received their inheritance(J) across the Jordan from Jericho, eastward toward the sunrise.”
Leaders for Distributing the Land
16 The Lord spoke to Moses, 17 “These are the names of the men who are to distribute the land as an inheritance for you: Eleazar the priest and Joshua son of Nun. 18 Take one leader from each tribe to distribute the land. 19 These are the names of the men:
Caleb(K) son of Jephunneh from the tribe of Judah;
20 Shemuel son of Ammihud from the tribe of Simeon;
21 Elidad son of Chislon from the tribe of Benjamin;
22 Bukki son of Jogli, a leader from the tribe of Dan;
23 from the sons of Joseph:
Hanniel son of Ephod, a leader from the tribe of Manasseh,
24 Kemuel son of Shiphtan, a leader from the tribe of Ephraim;
25 Eli-zaphan son of Parnach, a leader from the tribe of Zebulun;
26 Paltiel son of Azzan, a leader from the tribe of Issachar;
27 Ahihud son of Shelomi, a leader from the tribe of Asher;
28 Pedahel son of Ammihud, a leader from the tribe of Naphtali.”
29 These are the ones the Lord commanded to distribute the inheritance to the Israelites in the land of Canaan.

“‘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)

Frontiere del paese di Canaan; ordine per la divisione del paese
34 (A)Il Signore disse ancora a *Mosè: 2 «Da' quest'ordine ai figli d'*Israele e di' loro: “Quando entrerete nel paese di *Canaan, questo sarà il paese che vi toccherà come eredità: il paese di Canaan, di cui ecco i confini:
3 la vostra regione *meridionale comincerà al deserto di Sin, vicino a *Edom; cosí la vostra frontiera meridionale partirà dall'estremità del mar Salato, verso oriente; 4 e questa frontiera volgerà al sud della salita di Acrabbim, passerà per Sin e si estenderà a mezzogiorno di Cades-Barnea; poi continuerà verso Casar-Addar e passerà per Asmon. 5 Da Asmon la frontiera girerà fino al torrente d'Egitto, e finirà al mare.
6 La vostra frontiera a occidente sarà il mar Grande[a]: quella sarà la vostra frontiera occidentale.
7 Questa sarà la vostra frontiera settentrionale: partendo dal mar Grande, la traccerete fino al monte Or; 8 dal monte Or la traccerete fino all'entrata di Camat, e l'estremità della frontiera sarà a Sedad; 9 la frontiera continuerà fino a Zifron, per finire a Casar-Enan: questa sarà la vostra frontiera settentrionale.
10 Traccerete la vostra frontiera orientale da Casar-Enan a Sefam; 11 la frontiera scenderà da Sefam verso Ribla, a oriente di Ain; poi la frontiera scenderà, e si estenderà lungo il mare di Chinneret, a oriente; 12 poi la frontiera scenderà verso il *Giordano e finirà al mar Salato. Tale sarà il vostro paese con le sue frontiere tutto intorno!».
13 Mosè trasmise quest'ordine ai figli d'Israele e disse loro: «Questo è il paese che vi distribuirete a sorte, il paese che il Signore ha ordinato si dia a nove tribú e mezzo; 14 poiché la tribú dei figli di *Ruben, secondo le loro famiglie e la tribú dei figli di *Gad, secondo le loro famiglie e la mezza tribú di *Manasse hanno ricevuto la loro porzione. 15 Queste due tribú e mezzo hanno ricevuto la loro porzione a est, oltre il Giordano, all'altezza di *Gerico, verso il levante».
16 (B)Il Signore disse a Mosè: 17 «Questi sono i nomi degli uomini che spartiranno il paese tra di voi: il *sacerdote *Eleazar e *Giosuè, figlio di Nun. 18 Prenderete anche un capo di ogni tribú per spartire il paese.
19 Ecco i nomi di questi uomini.
Per la tribú di *Giuda: *Caleb, figlio di Gefunne.
20 Per la tribú dei figli di *Simeone: Samuele, figlio di Ammiud.
21 Per la tribú di *Beniamino: Elidad, figlio di Chislon.
22 Per la tribú dei figli di *Dan: il capo Buchi, figlio di Iogli.
23 Per i figli di *Giuseppe –per la tribú dei figli di Manasse: il capo Canniel, figlio di Efod – 24 e per la tribú dei figli di *Efraim: il capo Chemuel, figlio di Siftan.
25 Per la tribú dei figli di *Zabulon: il capo Elisafan, figlio di Parnac.
26 Per la tribú dei figli di *Issacar: il capo Paltiel, figlio di Azzan.
27 Per la tribú dei figli di *Ascer: il capo Aiud, figlio di Selomi.
28 E per la tribú dei figli di *Neftali: il capo Pedael, figlio di Ammiud.
29 Queste sono le persone alle quali il Signore ordinò di spartire la proprietà del paese di Canaan tra figli d'Israele.
