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.

3 “‘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) 4 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) 5 where it will turn, join the Wadi of Egypt(I) and end at the Mediterranean Sea.
6 “‘Your western boundary will be the coast of the Mediterranean Sea.(J) This will be your boundary on the west.(K)
7 “‘For your northern boundary,(L) run a line from the Mediterranean Sea to Mount Hor(M) 8 and from Mount Hor to Lebo Hamath.(N) Then the boundary will go to Zedad, 9 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)

Frontiere di Canaan
34 Il Signore disse a Mosè: 2 «Dà questo ordine agli Israeliti e riferisci loro: Quando entrerete nel paese di Canaan, questa sarà la terra che vi toccherà in eredità: il paese di Canaan.
3 Il vostro confine meridionale comincerà al deserto di Sin, vicino a Edom; così la vostra frontiera meridionale partirà dall'estremità del Mar Morto, a oriente; 4 questa frontiera volgerà al sud della salita di Akrabbim, passerà per Sin e si estenderà a mezzogiorno di Kades-Barnea; poi continuerà verso Cazar-Addar e passerà per Asmon. 5 Da Asmon la frontiera girerà fino al torrente d'Egitto e finirà al mare. 6 La vostra frontiera a occidente sarà il Mar Mediterraneo: quella sarà la vostra frontiera occidentale. 7 Questa sarà la vostra frontiera settentrionale: partendo dal Mar Mediterraneo, traccerete una linea fino al monte Or; 8 dal monte Or, la traccerete in direzione di Amat e l'estremità della frontiera sarà a Zedad; 9 la frontiera continuerà fino a Zifron e finirà a Cazar-Enan: questa sarà la vostra frontiera settentrionale. 10 Traccerete la vostra frontiera orientale da Cazar-Enan a Sefam; 11 la frontiera scenderà da Sefam verso Ribla, a oriente di Ain; poi la frontiera scenderà e si estenderà lungo il mare di Genèsaret, a oriente; 12 poi la frontiera scenderà lungo il Giordano e finirà al Mar Morto. Questo sarà il vostro paese con le sue frontiere tutt'intorno».
13 Mosè comunicò quest'ordine agli Israeliti e disse loro: «Questo è il paese che vi distribuirete a sorte e che il Signore ha ordinato di dare a nove tribù e mezza; 14 poiché la tribù dei figli di Ruben, secondo i loro casati paterni, e la tribù dei figli di Gad, secondo i loro casati paterni, e metà della tribù di Manàsse hanno ricevuto la loro porzione. 15 Queste due tribù e mezza hanno ricevuto la loro porzione oltre il Giordano di Gerico, dal lato orientale».
I sovraintendenti alla spartizione
16 Il Signore disse a Mosè: 17 «Questi sono i nomi degli uomini che spartiranno il paese fra di voi: il sacerdote Eleazaro e Giosuè, figlio di Nun. 18 Prenderete anche un capo di ogni tribù per fare la spartizione del paese. 19 Ecco i nomi di questi uomini. Per la tribù di Giuda, Caleb figlio di Iefunne. 20 Per la tribù dei figli di Simeone, Samuele figlio di Ammiud. 21 Per la tribù di Beniamino, Elidad figlio di Chislon. 22 Per la tribù dei figli di Dan, il capo Bukki figlio di Iogli. 23 Per i figli di Giuseppe, per la tribù dei figli di Manàsse, il capo Anniel figlio di Efod; 24 per la tribù dei figli di Efraim, il capo Kemuel figlio di Siptan. 25 Per la tribù dei figli di Zàbulon, il capo Elisafan figlio di Parnach. 26 Per la tribù dei figli di Issacar, il capo Paltiel figlio di Azzan. 27 Per la tribù dei figli di Aser, il capo Achiud, figlio di Selomi. 28 Per la tribù dei figli di Nèftali, il capo Pedael figlio di Ammiud». 29 Questi sono coloro ai quali il Signore ordinò di spartire il possesso del paese di Canaan tra gli Israeliti.
