The Appointed Boundaries of Canaan
34 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2 “Command the children of Israel, and say to them: ‘When you come into (A)the land of Canaan, this is the land that shall fall to you as an inheritance—the land of Canaan to its boundaries. 3 (B)Your southern border shall be from the Wilderness of Zin along the border of Edom; then your southern border shall extend eastward to the end of (C)the Salt Sea; 4 your border shall turn from the southern side of (D)the Ascent of Akrabbim, continue to Zin, and be on the south of (E)Kadesh Barnea; then it shall go on to (F)Hazar Addar, and continue to Azmon; 5 the border shall turn from Azmon (G)to the Brook of Egypt, and it shall end at the Sea.
6 ‘As for the (H)western border, you shall have the Great Sea for a border; this shall be your western border.
7 ‘And this shall be your northern border: From the Great Sea you shall mark out your border line to (I)Mount Hor; 8 from Mount Hor you shall mark out your border (J)to the entrance of Hamath; then the direction of the border shall be toward (K)Zedad; 9 the border shall proceed to Ziphron, and it shall end at (L)Hazar Enan. This shall be your northern border.
10 ‘You shall mark out your eastern border from Hazar Enan to Shepham; 11 the border shall go down from Shepham (M)to Riblah on the east side of Ain; the border shall go down and reach to the eastern [a]side of the Sea (N)of Chinnereth; 12 the border shall go down along the Jordan, and it shall end at (O)the Salt Sea. This shall be your land with its surrounding boundaries.’ ”
13 Then Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying: (P)“This is the land which you shall inherit by lot, which the Lord has commanded to give to the nine tribes and to the half-tribe. 14 (Q)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 the half-tribe of Manasseh has received its inheritance. 15 The two tribes and the half-tribe have received their inheritance on this side of the Jordan, across from Jericho eastward, toward the sunrise.”
The Leaders Appointed to Divide the Land
16 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 17 “These are the names of the men who shall divide the land among you as an inheritance: (R)Eleazar the priest and Joshua the son of Nun. 18 And you shall take one (S)leader of every tribe to divide the land for the inheritance. 19 These are the names of the men: from the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh; 20 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 a leader from the tribe of the children of Dan, Bukki the son of Jogli; 23 from the sons of Joseph: a leader from the tribe of the children of Manasseh, Hanniel the son of Ephod, 24 and a leader from the tribe of the children of Ephraim, Kemuel the son of Shiphtan; 25 a leader from the tribe of the children of Zebulun, Elizaphan the son of Parnach; 26 a leader from the tribe of the children of Issachar, Paltiel the son of Azzan; 27 a leader from the tribe of the children of Asher, Ahihud the son of Shelomi; 28 and a leader from the tribe of the children of Naphtali, Pedahel the son of Ammihud.”
29 These are the ones the Lord commanded to [b]divide the inheritance among the children of Israel in the land of Canaan.

Frontiere di Canaan
34 Il Signore disse a Mosè: 2 «Dà questo ordine agli Israeliti e riferisci loro: Quando entrerete nel paese di Canaan, questa sarà la terra che vi toccherà in eredità: il paese di Canaan.
3 Il vostro confine meridionale comincerà al deserto di Sin, vicino a Edom; così la vostra frontiera meridionale partirà dall'estremità del Mar Morto, a oriente; 4 questa frontiera volgerà al sud della salita di Akrabbim, passerà per Sin e si estenderà a mezzogiorno di Kades-Barnea; poi continuerà verso Cazar-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 Mediterraneo: quella sarà la vostra frontiera occidentale. 7 Questa sarà la vostra frontiera settentrionale: partendo dal Mar Mediterraneo, traccerete una linea fino al monte Or; 8 dal monte Or, la traccerete in direzione di Amat e l'estremità della frontiera sarà a Zedad; 9 la frontiera continuerà fino a Zifron e finirà a Cazar-Enan: questa sarà la vostra frontiera settentrionale. 10 Traccerete la vostra frontiera orientale da Cazar-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 Genèsaret, a oriente; 12 poi la frontiera scenderà lungo il Giordano e finirà al Mar Morto. Questo sarà il vostro paese con le sue frontiere tutt'intorno».
13 Mosè comunicò quest'ordine agli Israeliti e disse loro: «Questo è il paese che vi distribuirete a sorte e che il Signore ha ordinato di dare a nove tribù e mezza; 14 poiché la tribù dei figli di Ruben, secondo i loro casati paterni, e la tribù dei figli di Gad, secondo i loro casati paterni, e metà della tribù di Manàsse hanno ricevuto la loro porzione. 15 Queste due tribù e mezza hanno ricevuto la loro porzione oltre il Giordano di Gerico, dal lato orientale».
I sovraintendenti alla spartizione
16 Il Signore disse a Mosè: 17 «Questi sono i nomi degli uomini che spartiranno il paese fra di voi: il sacerdote Eleazaro e Giosuè, figlio di Nun. 18 Prenderete anche un capo di ogni tribù per fare la spartizione del paese. 19 Ecco i nomi di questi uomini. Per la tribù di Giuda, Caleb figlio di Iefunne. 20 Per la tribù dei figli di Simeone, Samuele figlio di Ammiud. 21 Per la tribù di Beniamino, Elidad figlio di Chislon. 22 Per la tribù dei figli di Dan, il capo Bukki figlio di Iogli. 23 Per i figli di Giuseppe, per la tribù dei figli di Manàsse, il capo Anniel figlio di Efod; 24 per la tribù dei figli di Efraim, il capo Kemuel figlio di Siptan. 25 Per la tribù dei figli di Zàbulon, il capo Elisafan figlio di Parnach. 26 Per la tribù dei figli di Issacar, il capo Paltiel figlio di Azzan. 27 Per la tribù dei figli di Aser, il capo Achiud, figlio di Selomi. 28 Per la tribù dei figli di Nèftali, il capo Pedael figlio di Ammiud». 29 Questi sono coloro ai quali il Signore ordinò di spartire il possesso del paese di Canaan tra gli Israeliti.

“‘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)
