命定迦南地之境界

34 耶和华晓谕摩西说: “你吩咐以色列人说:你们到了迦南地,就是归你们为业的迦南四境之地: 南角要从的旷野,贴着以东的边界。南界要从海东头起, 绕到亚克拉滨坡的南边,接连到,直通到加低斯巴尼亚的南边,又通到哈萨亚达,接连到押们 押们转到埃及小河,直通到海为止。

“西边要以大海为界。这就是你们的西界。

“北界要从大海起,划到何珥山, 何珥山划到哈马口,通到西达达 又通到西斐仑,直到哈萨以难。这要做你们的北界。

10 “你们要从哈萨以难划到示番为东界。 11 这界要从示番下到亚延东边的利比拉,又要达到基尼烈湖的东边。 12 这界要下到约旦河,通到海为止。这四围的边界以内,要做你们的地。”

13 摩西吩咐以色列人说:“这地就是耶和华吩咐拈阄给九个半支派承受为业的。 14 因为鲁本支派和迦得支派按着宗族受了产业,玛拿西半个支派也受了产业。 15 这两个半支派已经在耶利哥对面,约旦河东,向日出之地受了产业。”

拣选分地之人

16 耶和华晓谕摩西说: 17 “要给你们分地为业之人的名字是祭司以利亚撒的儿子约书亚 18 又要从每支派中选一个首领帮助他们。 19 这些人的名字:犹大支派有耶孚尼的儿子迦勒 20 西缅支派有亚米忽的儿子示母利 21 便雅悯支派有基斯伦的儿子以利达 22 支派有一个首领,约利的儿子布基 23 约瑟的子孙玛拿西支派有一个首领,以弗的儿子汉聂 24 以法莲支派有一个首领,拾弗但的儿子基母利 25 西布伦支派有一个首领,帕纳的儿子以利撒番 26 以萨迦支派有一个首领,阿散的儿子帕铁 27 亚设支派有一个首领,示罗米的儿子亚希忽 28 拿弗他利支派有一个首领,亚米忽的儿子比大黑。” 29 这些人就是耶和华所吩咐,在迦南地把产业分给以色列人的。

The Appointed Boundaries of Canaan

34 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, “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. (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; 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; the border shall turn from Azmon (G)to the Brook of Egypt, and it shall end at the Sea.

‘As for the (H)western border, you shall have the Great Sea for a border; this shall be your western border.

‘And this shall be your northern border: From the Great Sea you shall mark out your border line to (I)Mount Hor; 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; 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.

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)
