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)

As fronteiras da terra

34 Então o Senhor disse a Moisés: “Dê as seguintes instruções ao povo de Israel. Quando entrarem na terra de Canaã, que eu lhes dou como sua propriedade especial, estas serão as fronteiras. A região sul se estenderá desde o deserto de Zim, ao longo da divisa com Edom. A fronteira sul começará no leste, na extremidade do mar Morto.[a] Ela se estenderá pelo sul, passando pela ladeira do Escorpião,[b] em direção a Zim. Seu extremo ao sul será Cades-Barneia, de onde seguirá até Hazar-Adar e, de lá, até Azmom. De Azmom, a fronteira fará uma curva em direção ao ribeiro do Egito e terminará no mar Mediterrâneo.[c]

“A fronteira oeste será o litoral do mar Mediterrâneo.

“A fronteira norte começará no mar Mediterrâneo e se estenderá para o leste até o monte Hor e, de lá, até Lebo-Hamate, seguindo em direção a Zedade, e continuando até Zifrom e, daí, até Hazar-Enã. Essa será a fronteira norte.

10 “A fronteira leste começará em Hazar-Enã, se estenderá para o sul até Sefã 11 e descerá até Ribla, do lado leste de Aim. De lá, descerá beirando o lado leste do mar da Galileia[d] 12 e, depois, acompanhando o rio Jordão até o mar Morto. Essas são as fronteiras de sua terra”.

13 Então Moisés disse aos israelitas: “Este território é a herança que vocês repartirão entre si por sorteio. O Senhor ordenou que a terra seja dividida entre as nove tribos e meia restantes. 14 As famílias das tribos de Rúben e Gade e da metade da tribo de Manassés já receberam suas porções de terra 15 do lado leste do Jordão, do lado oposto de Jericó, na direção do nascer do sol”.

Líderes para repartir a terra

16 O Senhor disse a Moisés: 17 “O sacerdote Eleazar e Josué, filho de Num, são os homens escolhidos para repartir a terra entre o povo. 18 Nomeiem um líder de cada tribo para ajudá-los com a tarefa. 19 Estas são as tribos e os nomes dos líderes:

da tribo de Judá, Calebe, filho de Jefoné;

20 da tribo de Simeão, Samuel, filho de Amiúde;

21 da tribo de Benjamim, Elidade, filho de Quislom;

22 da tribo de Dã, Buqui, filho de Jogli;

23 da tribo de Manassés, filho de José, Haniel, filho de Éfode;

24 da tribo de Efraim, filho de José, Quemuel, filho de Siftã;

25 da tribo de Zebulom, Elisafã, filho de Parnaque;

26 da tribo de Issacar, Paltiel, filho de Azã;

27 da tribo de Aser, Aiúde, filho de Selomi;

28 da tribo de Naftali, Pedael, filho de Amiúde.

29 Esses são os homens que o Senhor nomeou para repartir as porções da terra de Canaã entre os israelitas”.

34 And the Lord 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 with the coasts thereof:)

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:

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:

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.

And as for the western border, ye shall even have the great sea for a border: this shall be your west border.

And this shall be your north border: from the great sea ye shall point out for you mount Hor:

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:

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.

Fronteras de Canaán

34 El Señor dijo a Moisés: «Hazles saber a los israelitas que las fronteras de Canaán, la tierra que van a recibir en heredad, serán las siguientes:

»La frontera sur empezará en el desierto de Zin, en los límites con Edom. Por el este, la frontera sur estará donde termina el mar Muerto. A partir de allí, la línea fronteriza avanzará hacia el sur, hacia la cuesta de los Escorpiones, cruzará Zin hasta alcanzar Cades Barnea, y llegará hasta Jazar Adar y Asmón. De allí la frontera se volverá hacia el torrente de Egipto, para terminar en el mar Mediterráneo.

La frontera occidental del país será la costa del mar Mediterráneo.

Para la frontera norte, la línea fronteriza correrá desde el mar Mediterráneo hasta el monte Hor, y desde el monte Hor hasta Lebó Jamat.[a] De allí, esta línea seguirá hasta llegar a Zedad, para continuar hasta Zifrón y terminar en Jazar Enán. Esta será la frontera norte del país.

10 Para la frontera oriental, la línea fronteriza correrá desde Jazar Enán hasta Sefán. 11 De Sefán bajará a Riblá, que está al este de Ayin; de allí descenderá al este, hasta encontrarse con la ribera del lago Quinéret,[b] 12 y de allí la línea bajará por el río Jordán, hasta el mar Muerto.

»Esas serán las cuatro fronteras del país».

13 Moisés dio a los israelitas la siguiente orden: «Esta es la tierra que se repartirá por sorteo. El Señor ha ordenado que sea repartida solo entre las nueve tribus y media, 14 pues las familias patriarcales de las tribus de Rubén, Gad y la media tribu de Manasés ya recibieron su heredad. 15 Estas dos tribus y media ya tienen su heredad en el este, cerca del río Jordán, a la altura de Jericó, por donde sale el sol».

Repartición de la tierra

16 El Señor dijo a Moisés: 17 «Estos son los nombres de los encargados de repartir la tierra como heredad: el sacerdote Eleazar y Josué, hijo de Nun. 18 Ustedes, por su parte, tomarán a un jefe de cada tribu para que les ayuden a repartir la tierra.

19 »Los nombres de los jefes de tribu fueron los siguientes:

»Caleb, hijo de Jefone, de la tribu de Judá;

20 Samuel, hijo de Amiud, de la tribu de Simeón;

21 Elidad, hijo de Quislón, de la tribu de Benjamín;

22 Buquí, hijo de Joglí, jefe de la tribu de Dan;

23 Janiel, hijo de Efod, jefe de la tribu de Manasés hijo de José;

24 Quemuel, hijo de Siftán, jefe de la tribu de Efraín, hijo de José;

25 Elizafán, hijo de Parnac, jefe de la tribu de Zabulón;

26 Paltiel, hijo de Azán, jefe de la tribu de Isacar;

27 Ajiud, hijo de Selomí, jefe de la tribu de Aser;

28 Pedael, hijo de Amiud, jefe de la tribu de Neftalí».

29 A estos encargó el Señor repartir la heredad entre los israelitas, en la tierra de Canaán.
