As fronteiras do país

34 O Senhor Deus mandou que Moisés desse aos israelitas as seguintes ordens:

— Quando entrarem em Canaã, a terra que estou dando a vocês, as fronteiras serão estas:

— A fronteira do Sul irá desde o deserto de Zim ao longo da fronteira de Edom. No Leste ela começará na ponta sul do mar Morto. Depois voltará para o sul, na direção da subida de Acrabim, e passará por Zim até chegar a Cades-Barneia. Em seguida passará por Hazar-Adar até chegar a Azmom e de Azmom até o ribeirão que faz fronteira com o Egito e terminará no mar Mediterrâneo.

— A fronteira do Oeste será o mar Mediterrâneo.

— A fronteira do Norte irá desde o mar Mediterrâneo até o monte Hor e dali até a subida de Hamate e depois até Zedade. De Zedade, essa fronteira do Norte seguirá até Zifrom e acabará em Hazar-Enã.

10 — A fronteira do Leste irá desde Hazar-Enã até Sefã 11 e de Sefã até Ribla, que fica a leste de Aim. Dali a fronteira descerá pelo leste do lago da Galileia 12 e seguirá pelo rio Jordão até terminar no mar Morto.

— Essas serão as quatro fronteiras do país de vocês.

13 Então Moisés deu estas ordens aos israelitas:

— Esta é a terra que vocês vão repartir por sorteio, este é o país que o Senhor Deus mandou dar às nove tribos e meia. 14-15 Isso porque as duas tribos e meia, isto é, as tribos de Gade e de Rúben e metade da tribo de Manassés, já receberam, por grupos de famílias, a terra que pertence a elas, no lado leste do rio Jordão, na altura de Jericó, que ficava no outro lado do rio.

Os líderes responsáveis pela divisão da terra

16 O Senhor Deus disse a Moisés:

17 — O sacerdote Eleazar e Josué, filho de Num, vão repartir a terra entre o povo. 18 Escolham também um chefe de cada tribo para ajudar a dividi-la.

19-28 Os homens que devem ser chamados são os seguintes:

TriboChefe
JudáCalebe, filho de Jefoné
SimeãoSamuel, filho de Amiúde
BenjamimElidade, filho de Quislom
Buqui, filho de Jogli
José (isto é, Manassés)Haniel, filho de Éfode
EfraimQuemuel, filho de Siftã
ZebulomElisafã, filho de Parnaque
IssacarPaltiel, filho de Azã
AserAiude, filho de Selomi
NaftaliPedael, filho de Amiúde

29 São esses os homens que o Senhor mandou repartir a terra de Canaã entre os israelitas.

34 1-2 The Lord told Moses to tell the people of Israel, “When you come into the land of Canaan (I am giving you the entire land as your homeland), the southern portion of the country will be the wilderness of Zin, along the edge of Edom. The southern boundary will begin at the Dead Sea, and will continue south past Scorpion Pass[a] in the direction of Zin. Its southernmost point will be Kadesh-barnea, from which it will go to Hazaraddar, and on to Azmon. From Azmon the boundary will follow the brook of Egypt down to the Mediterranean Sea.

“Your western boundary will be the coastline of the Mediterranean Sea.

7-9 “Your northern border will begin at the Mediterranean Sea and will proceed eastward to Mount Hor, then to Lebo-Hamath, and on through Zedad and Ziphron to Hazar-enan.

10-11 “The eastern border will be from Hazar-enan south to Shepham, then on to Riblah at the east side of Ain. From there it will make a large half-circle, first going south and then westward until it touches the southernmost tip of the Sea of Galilee, 12 and then along the Jordan River, ending at the Dead Sea.”

13 “This is the territory you are to apportion among yourselves by lot,” Moses said. “It is to be divided up among the nine and one-half tribes, 14-15 for the tribes of Reuben and Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh have already been assigned land on the east side of the Jordan, opposite Jericho.”

16-28 And the Lord said to Moses, “These are the names of the men I have appointed to handle the dividing up of the land: Eleazar the priest, Joshua (son of Nun), and one leader from each tribe, as listed below:

TribeLeader

29 These are the names of the men I have appointed to oversee the dividing of the land among the tribes.”

Boundaries of Canaan

34 The Lord said to Moses, “Command the Israelites and say to them: ‘When you enter Canaan,(A) the land that will be allotted to you as an inheritance(B) is to have these boundaries:(C)

“‘Your southern side will include some of the Desert of Zin(D) along the border of Edom. 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)

Caleb(Z) son of Jephunneh,

from the tribe of Judah;(AA)

20 Shemuel son of Ammihud,

from the tribe of Simeon;(AB)

21 Elidad son of Kislon,

from the tribe of Benjamin;(AC)

22 Bukki son of Jogli,

the leader from the tribe of Dan;

23 Hanniel son of Ephod,

the leader from the tribe of Manasseh(AD) son of Joseph;

24 Kemuel son of Shiphtan,

the leader from the tribe of Ephraim(AE) son of Joseph;

25 Elizaphan son of Parnak,

the leader from the tribe of Zebulun;(AF)

the leader from the tribe of Issachar;

27 Ahihud son of Shelomi,

the leader from the tribe of Asher;(AG)

29 These are the men the Lord commanded to assign the inheritance to the Israelites in the land of Canaan.(AH)
