迦南的疆域

34 耶和华对摩西说: “你把以下指示告诉以色列人。

“你们进入赐给你们作产业的迦南后,你们四境的疆界如下。

“南部疆界从荀旷野沿着以东边界延伸,东起死海的尽头, 往南至亚克拉滨坡南面,经荀直到加低斯·巴尼亚南面,再延伸至哈萨·亚达,经押们, 转向埃及河,直到地中海。

“西部以地中海为界。

“北部疆界从地中海开始直到何珥山, 再到哈马口,经西达达、 西斐仑直到哈萨·以难。

10 “东部疆界从哈萨·以难一直划到示番, 11 往南到亚延东面的利比拉,再往南到基尼烈湖东岸。 12 然后沿约旦河南下直到死海。这是你们国土四面的疆界。”

13 摩西又对以色列人说:“这就是耶和华吩咐用抽签的方式分给你们九个半支派的土地。 14 吕便支派和迦得支派已经按着宗族得到了他们的土地,玛拿西半个支派也得到了土地。 15 这两个半支派的土地在耶利哥对面的约旦河东岸。”

分地的首领

16 耶和华对摩西说: 17 “负责给你们分地的是以利亚撒祭司和嫩的儿子约书亚。 18 每支派要选出一位首领来协助分地。

19 “以下是这些首领的名字:

犹大支派耶孚尼的儿子迦勒,

20 西缅支派亚米忽的儿子示姆利,

21 便雅悯支派基斯伦的儿子以利达,

22 但支派约利的儿子布基,

23 约瑟之子玛拿西支派以弗的儿子汉聂,

24 以法莲支派拾弗但的儿子基姆利,

25 西布伦支派帕纳的儿子以利撒番,

26 以萨迦支派阿散的儿子帕铁,

27 亚设支派示罗米的儿子亚希忽,

28 拿弗他利支派亚米忽的儿子比达黑。”

29 这些是奉耶和华之命在迦南给以色列人分产业的首领。

34 And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, Command the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land of Canaan (this is the land that shall fall unto you for an inheritance, even the land of Canaan according to the borders thereof), then your south quarter shall be from the wilderness of Zin along by the side of Edom, and your south border shall be from the end of the Salt Sea eastward; and your border shall turn about southward of the ascent of Akrabbim, and pass along to Zin; and the goings out thereof shall be southward of Kadesh-barnea; and it shall go forth to Hazar-addar, and pass along to Azmon; and the border shall turn about from Azmon unto the brook of Egypt, and the goings out thereof shall be at the sea.

And for the western border, ye shall have the great sea [a]and the border thereof: this shall be your west border.

And this shall be your north border: from the great sea ye shall mark out for you mount Hor; from mount Hor ye shall mark out unto the entrance of Hamath; and the goings out of the border shall be at Zedad; and the border shall go forth to Ziphron, and the goings out thereof shall be at Hazar-enan: this shall be your north border.

10 And ye shall mark out your east border from Hazar-enan to Shepham; 11 and the border shall go down from Shepham to Riblah, on the east side of Ain; and the border shall go down, and shall reach unto the [b]side of the sea of Chinnereth eastward; 12 and the border shall go down to the Jordan, and the goings out thereof shall be at the Salt Sea. This shall be your land according to the borders thereof round about.

13 And Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying, This is the land which ye shall inherit by lot, which Jehovah hath commanded to give unto the nine tribes, and to the half-tribe; 14 for the tribe of the children of Reuben according to their fathers’ houses, and the tribe of the children of Gad according to their fathers’ houses, have received, and the half-tribe of Manasseh have received, their inheritance: 15 the two tribes and the half-tribe have received their inheritance beyond the Jordan at Jericho eastward, toward the sunrising.

16 And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, 17 These are the names of the men that shall divide the land unto you for inheritance: Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun. 18 And ye shall take one prince of every tribe, to divide the land for inheritance. 19 And these are the names of the men: Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh. 20 And of the tribe of the children of Simeon, Shemuel the son of Ammihud. 21 Of the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad the son of Chislon. 22 And of the tribe of the children of Dan a prince, Bukki the son of Jogli. 23 Of the children of Joseph: of the tribe of the children of Manasseh a prince, Hanniel the son of Ephod. 24 And of the tribe of the children of Ephraim a prince, Kemuel the son of Shiphtan. 25 And of the tribe of the children of Zebulun a prince, Elizaphan the son of Parnach. 26 And of the tribe of the children of Issachar a prince, Paltiel the son of Azzan. 27 And of the tribe of the children of Asher a prince, Ahihud the son of Shelomi. 28 And of the tribe of the children of Naphtali a prince, Pedahel the son of Ammihud. 29 These are they whom Jehovah commanded to divide the inheritance unto the children of Israel in the land of Canaan.
