The Boundaries of the Land
34 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 2 Command the Israelites, and say to them: When you enter the land of Canaan (this is the land that shall fall to you for an inheritance, the land of Canaan, defined by its boundaries), 3 your south sector shall extend from the wilderness of Zin along the side of Edom. Your southern boundary shall begin from the end of the Dead Sea[a] on the east; 4 your boundary shall turn south of the ascent of Akrabbim, and cross to Zin, and its outer limit shall be south of Kadesh-barnea; then it shall go on to Hazar-addar, and cross to Azmon; 5 the boundary shall turn from Azmon to the Wadi of Egypt, and its termination shall be at the Sea.
6 For the western boundary, you shall have the Great Sea and its[b] coast; this shall be your western boundary.
7 This shall be your northern boundary: from the Great Sea you shall mark out your line to Mount Hor; 8 from Mount Hor you shall mark it out to Lebo-hamath, and the outer limit of the boundary shall be at Zedad; 9 then the boundary shall extend to Ziphron, and its end shall be at Hazar-enan; this shall be your northern boundary.
10 You shall mark out your eastern boundary from Hazar-enan to Shepham; 11 and the boundary shall continue down from Shepham to Riblah on the east side of Ain; and the boundary shall go down, and reach the eastern slope of the sea of Chinnereth; 12 and the boundary shall go down to the Jordan, and its end shall be at the Dead Sea.[c] This shall be your land with its boundaries all around.
13 Moses commanded the Israelites, saying: This is the land that you shall inherit by lot, which the Lord has commanded to give to the nine tribes and to the half-tribe; 14 for the tribe of the Reubenites by their ancestral houses and the tribe of the Gadites by their ancestral houses have taken their inheritance, and also the half-tribe of Manasseh; 15 the two tribes and the half-tribe have taken their inheritance beyond the Jordan at Jericho eastward, toward the sunrise.
Tribal Leaders
16 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 17 These are the names of the men who shall apportion the land to you for inheritance: the priest Eleazar and Joshua son of Nun. 18 You shall take one leader of every tribe to apportion the land for inheritance. 19 These are the names of the men: Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb son of Jephunneh. 20 Of the tribe of the Simeonites, Shemuel son of Ammihud. 21 Of the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad son of Chislon. 22 Of the tribe of the Danites a leader, Bukki son of Jogli. 23 Of the Josephites: of the tribe of the Manassites a leader, Hanniel son of Ephod, 24 and of the tribe of the Ephraimites a leader, Kemuel son of Shiphtan. 25 Of the tribe of the Zebulunites a leader, Eli-zaphan son of Parnach. 26 Of the tribe of the Issacharites a leader, Paltiel son of Azzan. 27 And of the tribe of the Asherites a leader, Ahihud son of Shelomi. 28 Of the tribe of the Naphtalites a leader, Pedahel son of Ammihud. 29 These were the ones whom the Lord commanded to apportion the inheritance for the Israelites in the land of Canaan.

34 ¶ And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
2 Command the sons of Israel and say unto them, When ye have entered into the land of Canaan (this is the land that shall fall unto you for an inheritance, even the land of Canaan according to its borders),
3 you shall have on the side of the Negev from the wilderness of Zin unto the borders of Edom, and your border towards the Negev shall be the outmost coast of the salt sea eastward.
4 And this border shall turn from the Negev to the ascent of Akrabbim and pass on to Zin, and the going forth thereof shall be from the Negev to Kadeshbarnea and shall go on to Hazaraddar and pass on to Azmon;
5 and the border shall fetch a compass from Azmon unto the river of Egypt, and the goings out of it shall be at the western sea.
6 And as for the western border, ye shall even have the great sea for a border; this shall be your west border.
7 And this shall be your north border: from the great sea ye shall point out for you Mount Hor.
8 From Mount Hor ye shall point out your border unto the entrance of Hamath, and the goings forth of the border shall be to Zedad,
9 and the border shall go on to Ziphron, and the goings out of it shall be at Hazarenan; this shall be your north border.
10 And ye shall point out your east border from Hazarenan to Shepham,
11 and the border shall go down from Shepham to Riblah, on the east side of Ain, and the border shall descend and shall reach unto the side of the sea of Chinnereth eastward.
12 And the border shall go down to the Jordan, and the goings out of it shall be at the salt sea; this shall be your land with the borders thereof round about.
13 And Moses commanded the sons of Israel, saying, This is the land which ye shall inherit by lot, which the LORD commanded to give unto the nine tribes and to the half tribe,
14 because the tribe of the sons of Reuben, according to the houses of their fathers, and the tribe of the sons of Gad, according to the houses of their fathers, and half the tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance.
15 The two tribes and the half tribe have received their inheritance on this side of the Jordan of Jericho eastward, toward the sunrising.
16 ¶ And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
17 These are the names of the men who shall divide the possession of the land for you: Eleazar, the priest, and Joshua, the son of Nun.
18 And ye shall take one prince of every tribe to divide the possession of the land.
19 And the names of the men are these: Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb, the son of Jephunneh.
20 And of the tribe of the sons of Simeon, Shemuel, the son of Ammihud.
21 Of the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad, the son of Chislon.
22 And the of the tribe of the sons of Dan, the prince Bukki, the son of Jogli.
23 Of the sons of Joseph: of the tribe of the sons of Manasseh, the prince Hanniel, the son of Ephod.
24 And of the tribe of the sons of Ephraim, the prince Kemuel, the son of Shiphtan.
25 And of the tribe of the sons of Zebulun, the prince Elizaphan, the son of Parnach.
26 And of the tribe of the sons of Issachar, the prince Paltiel, the son of Azzan.
27 And of the tribe of the sons of Asher, the prince Ahihud, the son of Shelomi.
28 And of the tribe of the sons of Naphtali, the prince Pedahel, the son of Ammihud.
29 These are those whom the LORD commanded to cause the sons of Israel to inherit the land of Canaan.

Instruction for Apportioning Canaan
34 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2 “Command the sons of Israel and say to them, ‘When you enter (A)the land of Canaan, this is the land that shall fall to you as an inheritance, that is, the land of Canaan according to its borders. 3 (B)Your southern region shall [a]extend from the wilderness of Zin along the side of Edom, and your southern border shall [b]extend from the end of the Salt Sea (C)eastward. 4 Then your border shall change direction from the south to the ascent of Akrabbim and [c]continue to Zin, and its [d]termination shall be to the south of (D)Kadesh-barnea; and it shall [e]reach Hazaraddar and [f]continue to Azmon. 5 Then the border shall change direction from Azmon to the brook of Egypt, and its termination shall be at (E)the sea.
6 ‘As for the western border, you shall have the Great Sea, that is, its [g]coastline; this shall be your western border.
7 ‘(F)And this shall be your northern border: you shall draw your boundary from the Great Sea to Mount Hor. 8 You shall draw a boundary from Mount Hor to (G)the [h]Lebo-hamath, and the termination of the border shall be at Zedad; 9 and the border shall proceed to Ziphron, and its termination shall be at Hazar-enan. This shall be your northern border.
10 ‘For your eastern border you shall also draw a boundary from Hazar-enan to Shepham, 11 and the border shall go down from Shepham to (H)Riblah on the east side of Ain; and the border shall go down and reach to the slope on the east side of the Sea of (I)Chinnereth. 12 And the border shall go down to the Jordan, and its termination shall be at the Salt Sea. This shall be your land according to its borders on all sides.’”
13 So Moses commanded the sons of Israel, saying, “(J)This is the land that you are to possess by lot, which the Lord has commanded to give to the nine and a half tribes. 14 (K)For the tribe of the sons of Reuben have received theirs according to their fathers’ households, and the tribe of the sons of Gad according to their fathers’ households, and the half-tribe of Manasseh have received their possession. 15 The two and a half tribes have received their possession across the Jordan opposite Jericho, eastward toward the sunrise.”
16 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 17 “(L)These are the names of the men who shall assign the land to you as an inheritance: Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun. 18 And you shall take one leader of each tribe to assign the land as an inheritance. 19 These are the names of the men: of the tribe of (M)Judah, (N)Caleb the son of Jephunneh. 20 Of the tribe of the sons of (O)Simeon, Samuel the son of Ammihud. 21 Of the tribe of (P)Benjamin, Elidad the son of Chislon. 22 And of the tribe of the sons of Dan, a leader, Bukki the son of Jogli. 23 Of the sons of Joseph: of the tribe of the sons of Manasseh, a leader, Hanniel the son of Ephod. 24 Of the tribe of the sons of Ephraim, a leader, Kemuel the son of Shiphtan. 25 Of the tribe of the sons of Zebulun, a leader, Elizaphan the son of Parnach. 26 Of the tribe of the sons of Issachar, a leader, Paltiel the son of Azzan. 27 Of the tribe of the sons of Asher, a leader, Ahihud the son of Shelomi. 28 Of the tribe of the sons of Naphtali, a leader, Pedahel the son of Ammihud.” 29 These are the ones whom the Lord commanded to apportion the inheritance to the sons of Israel in the land of Canaan.

Ranh Giới Xứ Ca-na-an
34 Chúa phán với Môi-se rằng, 2 “Hãy truyền cho dân I-sơ-ra-ên và bảo chúng: Khi các ngươi vào trong xứ Ca-na-an, xứ các ngươi sẽ nhận làm sản nghiệp, xứ Ca-na-an đó có ranh giới như sau:
3 Ranh giới miền nam của các ngươi sẽ từ Ðồng Hoang Xin chạy dọc theo biên thùy nước Ê-đôm, hay nói rõ hơn ranh giới miền nam của các ngươi sẽ bắt đầu từ phía đông ở cuối Biển Muối;[a] 4 ranh giới của các ngươi sẽ từ đó chạy vòng xuống phía nam, giáp các ngọn núi Ạc-ráp-bim, rồi băng ngang qua Ðồng Hoang Xin đến ranh giới phía nam của Ca-đe Ba-nê-a, chạy tiếp đến Ha-xa Át-đa, và tiếp tục cắt ngang qua A-xơ-môn; 5 từ A-xơ-môn đường ranh giới sẽ vòng xuống Suối Ai-cập, và chạy dọc theo suối ra đến biển.[b]
6 Về ranh giới phía tây, các ngươi sẽ có Biển Lớn,[c] và nó sẽ làm biên thùy phía tây.
7 Ðây là ranh giới phía bắc của các ngươi: từ Biển Lớn các ngươi sẽ vạch một đường cho đến Núi Hô-rơ; 8 từ Núi Hô-rơ các ngươi sẽ kéo một đường đến Lê-bô Ha-ma; từ đó đường ranh giới sẽ đến và bao gồm cả Xê-đát, 9 rồi từ đó sẽ chạy đến Xíp-phơ-rôn, và chấm dứt tại Ha-xa Ê-nan. Ðó sẽ là ranh giới phía bắc của các ngươi.
10 Các ngươi sẽ làm dấu ranh giới ở phía đông bắt đầu từ Ha-xa Ê-nan chạy đến Sê-pham; 11 đường ranh giới của các ngươi sẽ chạy từ Sê-pham xuống Ríp-la về phía đông của A-in; rồi đường ranh giới sẽ tiếp tục đi xuống cho đến triền đồi phía đông của Biển Kin-nê-rét;[d] 12 đường ranh giới sẽ tiếp tục chạy dọc xuống theo Sông Giô-đanh và chấm dứt tại Biển Muối.[e]
Ðó sẽ là xứ sở của các ngươi với các ranh giới chung quanh.”
13 Môi-se truyền lịnh cho dân I-sơ-ra-ên rằng, “Ðó là xứ sở anh chị em sẽ bốc thăm để chia nhau ở; đó là xứ mà Chúa đã truyền ban cho chín chi tộc rưỡi còn lại, 14 vì chi tộc của con cháu Ru-bên theo các gia tộc của họ, chi tộc của con cháu Gát theo các gia tộc của họ, cùng với phân nửa chi tộc Ma-na-se, 15 tức hai chi tộc rưỡi đã nhận phần sản nghiệp của họ bên phía đông Sông Giô-đanh, đối ngang Giê-ri-cô, tức bên phía mặt trời mọc rồi.”
Những Người Lãnh Ðạo Dân I-sơ-ra-ên
16 Chúa phán với Môi-se, 17 “Ðây là tên những người sẽ chia xứ cho các ngươi làm sản nghiệp: Tư Tế Ê-lê-a-xa và Giô-suê con của Nun. 18 Các ngươi cũng phải lấy thêm trong mỗi chi tộc một người lãnh đạo để hiệp với các ngươi chia đất cho dân làm sản nghiệp. 19 Ðây là tên những người ấy:
Chi tộc Giu-đa, Ca-lép con của Giê-phu-nê.
20 Chi tộc Si-mê-ôn, Sê-mu-ên con của Am-mi-hút.
21 Chi tộc Bên-gia-min, Ê-li-đát con của Kích-lôn.
22 Chi tộc Ðan, Thủ Lãnh Búc-ki con của Gióp-li.
23 Trong con cháu Giô-sép:
Chi tộc Ma-na-se, Thủ Lãnh Han-ni-ên con của Ê-phốt;
24 Và chi tộc Ép-ra-im, Thủ Lãnh Kê-mu-ên con của Síp-phơ-tan.
25 Chi tộc Xê-bu-lun, Thủ Lãnh Ê-li Xa-phan con của Pạc-nách.
26 Chi tộc I-sa-ca, Thủ Lãnh Pan-ti-ên con của A-xan.
27 Chi tộc A-se, Thủ Lãnh A-hi-hút con của Sê-lô-mi.
28 Chi tộc Náp-ta-li, Thủ Lãnh Pê-đa-hên con của Am-mi-hút.”
29 Ðó là những người Chúa đã truyền có trách nhiệm phải chia đất cho dân I-sơ-ra-ên, để họ nhận làm sản nghiệp trong xứ Ca-na-an.
