Numbers 34
Common English Bible
Boundaries of the land of Canaan
34 The Lord said to Moses: 2 Command the Israelites and say to them: When you enter the land of Canaan, this is the land that will fall to you as an inheritance. The land of Canaan according to its boundaries:
3 Your southern boundary extends from the Zin desert alongside Edom. Your southern border extends from the edge of the Dead Sea on the east. 4 Your border will turn south of the ascent of Akrabbim and cross toward Zin. Its limit will be south of Kadesh-barnea. It will go out to Hazar-addar and cross toward Azmon. 5 The border will then turn from Azmon to the Egypt ravine. Its limit will be at the Mediterranean Sea.
6 Your western border will be the Mediterranean Sea. This will be your western border.
7 This will be your northern border: From the Mediterranean Sea you will mark out your boundary to Mount Hor. 8 From Mount Hor you will mark out your boundary to Lebo-hamath. The limit of the border will be Zedad. 9 The border will go out to Ziphron. Its limit will be Hazar-enan. This will be your northern border.
10 You will mark out your eastern border from Hazar-enan to Shepham. 11 The border will descend from Shepham to Riblah on the east side of Ain. The border will go down and meet the eastern slope of the Galilee Sea. 12 The border will descend to the Jordan. Its limit will be the Dead Sea.
This will be your land with its borders all around.
13 Moses commanded the Israelites: This is the land that you will inherit by lot, which the Lord has commanded to give to the nine and a half tribes, 14 because the tribe of Reuben by their households and the tribe of Gad by their households, and half the tribe of Manasseh have taken their inheritance. 15 The two and a half tribes have taken their inheritance across the Jordan at Jericho toward the east.
Appointment of leaders to assign the inheritance
16 The Lord spoke to Moses: 17 These are the names of the men who will assign the inheritance of the land: Eleazar the priest and Joshua, Nun’s son. 18 You will also take one chief from each tribe to apportion the land. 19 These are the names of the men: from the tribe of Judah, Caleb, Jephunneh’s son; 20 from the tribe of the Simeonites, Shemuel, Ammihud’s son; 21 from the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad, Chislon’s son; 22 from the tribe of the Danites, a chief, Bukki, Jogli’s son; 23 from Joseph’s descendants: of the tribe of the Manassites, a chief, Hanniel, Ephod’s son; 24 and from the tribe of the Ephraimites, a chief, Kemuel, Shiphtan’s son; 25 from the tribe of the Zebulunites, a chief, Elizaphan, Parnach’s son; 26 from the tribe of the Issacharites, a chief, Paltiel, Azzan’s son; 27 from the tribe of the Asherites, a chief, Ahihud, Shelomi’s son; 28 from the tribe of the Naphtalites, a chief, Pedahel, Ammihud’s son.
29 These are the ones whom the Lord commanded to assign the inheritance of the Israelites in the land of Canaan.
Numbers 34
King James Version
34 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
2 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 with the coasts thereof:)
3 Then your south quarter shall be from the wilderness of Zin along by the coast of Edom, and your south border shall be the outmost coast of the salt sea eastward:
4 And your border shall turn from the south to the ascent of Akrabbim, and pass on to Zin: and the going forth thereof shall be from the south 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 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 coast 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 Jordan, and the goings out of it shall be at the salt sea: this shall be your land with the coasts thereof round about.
13 And Moses commanded the children 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 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 half the tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance:
15 The two tribes and the half tribe have received their inheritance on this side Jordan near Jericho eastward, toward the sunrising.
16 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
17 These are the names of the men which shall divide the land unto you: Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun.
18 And ye shall take one prince of every tribe, to divide the land by inheritance.
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 children of Simeon, Shemuel the son of Ammihud.
21 Of the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad the son of Chislon.
22 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Dan, Bukki the son of Jogli.
23 The prince of the children of Joseph, for the tribe of the children of Manasseh, Hanniel the son of Ephod.
24 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Ephraim, Kemuel the son of Shiphtan.
25 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Zebulun, Elizaphan the son of Parnach.
26 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Issachar, Paltiel the son of Azzan.
27 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Asher, Ahihud the son of Shelomi.
28 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Naphtali, Pedahel the son of Ammihud.
29 These are they whom the Lord commanded to divide the inheritance unto the children of Israel in the land of Canaan.
4 Mosebok 34
Det Norsk Bibelselskap 1930
34 Og Herren talte til Moses og sa:
2 Byd Israels barn og si til dem: Når I kommer inn i Kana'ans land, så er dette det land som skal tilfalle eder som arv - Kana'ans land, så langt dets grenser når.
3 På sydsiden skal eders land gå fra ørkenen Sin langsmed Edom, og eders sydgrense skal i øst begynne ved enden av Salthavet.
4 Så skal grensen svinge sørom Akrabbim-skaret og gå frem til Sin, og den skal gå ut i syd for Kades-Barnea og så gå videre til Hasar-Adar og derfra ta over til Asmon.
5 Fra Asmon skal grensen svinge bort til Egyptens bekk og så gå ut i havet.
6 I vest skal eders grense være det store hav og landet langsmed det; dette skal være eders grense i vest.
7 Og dette skal være eders grense i nord: Fra det store hav skal I avmerke grenselinjen til fjellet Hor.
8 Fra fjellet Hor skal I avmerke grensen dit hvor veien går til Hamat, og grensen skal gå ut ved Sedad.
9 Så skal grensen gå videre til Sifron og ende ved Hasar-Enan. Dette skal være eders grense i nord.
10 Mot øst skal I avmerke eder en grenselinje som går fra Hasar-Enan til Sefam.
11 Fra Sefam skal grensen gå ned til Ribla østenfor Ajin og derfra gå videre ned til den når fjellskråningen østenfor Kinnerets sjø[a].
12 Så skal grensen gå videre ned til Jordan og ende ved Salthavet. Dette skal være eders land efter dets grenser rundt omkring.
13 Og Moses bød Israels barn og sa: Dette er det land I skal få til arv ved loddkasting, og som Herren har befalt å gi de ni stammer og den halve stamme.
14 For Rubens barns stamme med sine familier og Gads barns stamme med sine familier og den halve Manasse stamme har alt fått sin arv;
15 disse to og en halv stamme har fått sin arv på denne side av Jordan midt imot Jeriko - mot øst, mot solens opgang.
16 Og Herren talte til Moses og sa:
17 Dette er navnene på de menn som skal skifte ut landet mellem eder: Eleasar, presten, og Josva, Nuns sønn,
18 og så en høvding for hver stamme, som I skal ta til å skifte ut landet,
19 og dette er navnene på disse menn: for Juda stamme Kaleb, Jefunnes sønn,
20 og for Simeons barns stamme Semuel, Ammihuds sønn,
21 for Benjamins stamme Elidad, Kislons sønn,
22 og for Dans barns stamme en høvding, Bukki, Joglis sønn,
23 for Josefs barn: for Manasses barns stamme en høvding, Hanniel, Efods sønn,
24 og for Efra'ims barns stamme en høvding, Kemuel, Siftans sønn,
25 og for Sebulons barns stamme en høvding, Elisafan, Parnaks sønn,
26 og for Issakars barns stamme en høvding, Paltiel, Assans sønn,
27 og for Asers barns stamme en høvding, Akihud, Selomis sønn,
28 og for Naftalis barns stamme en høvding, Pedael, Ammihuds sønn.
29 Disse menn var det som Herren sa skulde skifte ut arveloddene mellem Israels barn i Kana'ans land.
