Numbers 34
New American Standard Bible
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.

Psalm 78:40-72
New American Standard Bible
40 How often they (A)rebelled against Him in the wilderness
And (B)grieved Him in the (C)desert!
41 Again and again they [a](D)tempted God,
And pained the (E)Holy One of Israel.
42 They (F)did not remember (G)His [b]power,
The day when He (H)redeemed them from the enemy,
43 When He performed His (I)signs in Egypt
And His (J)marvels in the field of Zoan,
44 And (K)turned their rivers to blood,
And their streams, so that they could not drink.
45 He sent swarms of (L)flies among them that devoured them,
And (M)frogs that destroyed them.
46 He also gave their crops to the (N)grasshopper
And the product of their labor to the (O)locust.
47 He [c]destroyed their vines with (P)hailstones
And their sycamore trees with frost.
48 He also turned their (Q)cattle over to the hailstones,
And their herds to bolts of lightning.
49 He (R)sent His burning anger upon them,
Fury and indignation and trouble,
A band of [d]destroying angels.
50 He leveled a path for His anger;
He did not spare their souls from death,
But (S)turned their lives over to the plague,
51 And (T)struck all the firstborn in Egypt,
The (U)first and best of their vigor in the tents of (V)Ham.
52 But He (W)led His own people out like sheep,
And guided them in the wilderness (X)like a flock;
53 He led them (Y)safely, so that they did not fear;
But (Z)the sea engulfed their enemies.
54 So (AA)He brought them to His holy [e]land,
To this [f](AB)hill country (AC)which His right hand had gained.
55 He also (AD)drove out the nations from them
And (AE)apportioned them as an inheritance by measurement,
And had the tribes of Israel dwell in their tents.
56 Yet they [g](AF)tempted and (AG)rebelled against the Most High God
And did not keep His testimonies,
57 But turned back and (AH)acted treacherously like their fathers;
They (AI)turned aside like a treacherous bow.
58 For they (AJ)provoked Him with their (AK)high places
And (AL)moved Him to jealousy with their (AM)carved images.
59 When God heard them, He [h]was filled with (AN)wrath
And He utterly (AO)rejected Israel;
60 So that He (AP)abandoned the (AQ)dwelling place at Shiloh,
The tent [i]which He had pitched among people,
61 And He gave up His (AR)strength to captivity
And His glory (AS)into the hand of the enemy.
62 He also (AT)turned His people over to the sword,
And [j]was filled with wrath at His inheritance.
63 (AU)Fire devoured [k]His young men,
And [l]His (AV)virgins had no wedding songs.
64 [m]His (AW)priests fell by the sword,
And [n]His (AX)widows could not weep.
65 Then the Lord (AY)awoke as if from sleep,
Like a (AZ)warrior [o]overcome by wine.
66 He [p](BA)drove His adversaries backward;
He put on them an everlasting disgrace.
67 He also (BB)rejected the tent of Joseph,
And did not choose the tribe of Ephraim,
68 But chose the tribe of Judah,
Mount (BC)Zion, which He loved.
69 And He (BD)built His sanctuary like the heights,
Like the earth which He has established forever.
70 He also (BE)chose His servant David
And took him from the sheepfolds;
71 From [q](BF)the care of the [r]ewes (BG)with nursing lambs He brought him
To (BH)shepherd Jacob His people,
And Israel (BI)His inheritance.
72 So he shepherded them according to the (BJ)integrity of his heart,
And guided them with his skillful hands.
