Numbers 34
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
The Boundaries of the Land
34 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2 “Command the Israelites, and say to them: When you enter the land of Canaan (this is the land that shall fall to you for an inheritance, the land of Canaan, defined by its boundaries),(A) 3 your south sector shall extend from the wilderness of Zin along the side of Edom. Your southern boundary shall begin from the end of the Dead Sea[a] on the east;(B) 4 your boundary shall turn south of the ascent of Akrabbim and cross to Zin, and its outer limit shall be south of Kadesh-barnea; then it shall go on to Hazar-addar and cross to Azmon; 5 the boundary shall turn from Azmon to the Wadi of Egypt, and its termination shall be at the Sea.(C)
6 “For the western boundary, you shall have the Great Sea and its[b] coast; this shall be your western boundary.
7 “This shall be your northern boundary: from the Great Sea you shall mark out your line to Mount Hor;(D) 8 from Mount Hor you shall mark it out to Lebo-hamath, and the outer limit of the boundary shall be at Zedad;(E) 9 then the boundary shall extend to Ziphron, and its end shall be at Hazar-enan; this shall be your northern boundary.
10 “You shall mark out your eastern boundary from Hazar-enan to Shepham, 11 and the boundary shall continue down from Shepham to Riblah on the east side of Ain, and the boundary shall go down and reach the eastern slope of the sea of Chinnereth,(F) 12 and the boundary shall go down to the Jordan, and its end shall be at the Dead Sea.[c] This shall be your land with its boundaries all around.”
13 Moses commanded the Israelites, saying, “This is the land that you shall apportion by lot, which the Lord has commanded to give to the nine tribes and to the half-tribe,(G) 14 for the tribe of the Reubenites by their ancestral houses and the tribe of the Gadites by their ancestral houses have taken their inheritance and also the half-tribe of Manasseh;(H) 15 the two tribes and the half-tribe have taken their inheritance beyond the Jordan at Jericho eastward, toward the sunrise.”
Tribal Leaders
16 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 17 “These are the names of the men who shall apportion the land to you for inheritance: the priest Eleazar and Joshua son of Nun.(I) 18 You shall take one leader of every tribe to apportion the land for inheritance.(J) 19 These are the names of the men: Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb son of Jephunneh. 20 Of the tribe of the Simeonites, Shemuel son of Ammihud. 21 Of the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad son of Chislon. 22 Of the tribe of the Danites a leader, Bukki son of Jogli. 23 Of the Josephites: of the tribe of the Manassites a leader, Hanniel son of Ephod, 24 and of the tribe of the Ephraimites a leader, Kemuel son of Shiphtan. 25 Of the tribe of the Zebulunites a leader, Eli-zaphan son of Parnach. 26 Of the tribe of the Issacharites a leader, Paltiel son of Azzan. 27 And of the tribe of the Asherites a leader, Ahihud son of Shelomi. 28 Of the tribe of the Naphtalites a leader, Pedahel son of Ammihud. 29 These were the ones whom the Lord commanded to apportion the inheritance for the Israelites in the land of Canaan.”

Boundaries of the Promised Land
34 The Lord spoke to Moses, 2 ‘Command the Israelites and say to them: When you enter the land of Canaan, it will be allotted to you as an inheritance[a] with these borders:
3 Your southern side will be from the Wilderness of Zin along the boundary of Edom. Your southern border on the east will begin at the east end of the Dead Sea. 4 Your border will turn south of the Scorpions’ Ascent,[b] proceed to Zin, and end south of Kadesh-barnea. It will go to Hazar-addar and proceed to Azmon.(A) 5 The border will turn from Azmon(B) to the Brook of Egypt,(C) where it will end at the Mediterranean Sea.
6 Your western border will be the coastline of the Mediterranean Sea; this will be your western border.
7 This will be your northern border: from the Mediterranean Sea draw a line to Mount Hor;(D) 8 from Mount Hor draw a line to the entrance of Hamath,[c](E) and the border will reach Zedad.(F) 9 Then the border will go to Ziphron and end at Hazar-enan.(G) This will be your northern border.
10 For your eastern border, draw a line from Hazar-enan to Shepham. 11 The border will go down from Shepham to Riblah east of Ain.(H) It will continue down and reach the eastern slope of the Sea of Chinnereth.[d](I) 12 Then the border will go down to the Jordan and end at the Dead Sea. This will be your land defined by its borders on all sides.’
13 So Moses commanded the Israelites, ‘This is the land you are to receive by lot as an inheritance, which the Lord commanded to be given to the nine and a half tribes. 14 For the tribe of Reuben’s descendants and the tribe of Gad’s descendants have received their inheritance according to their ancestral families,[e] and half the tribe of Manasseh has received its inheritance. 15 The two and a half tribes have received their inheritance(J) across the Jordan east of Jericho, towards the sunrise.’
Leaders for Distributing the Land
16 The Lord spoke to Moses, 17 ‘These are the names of the men who are to distribute the land as an inheritance for you: the priest Eleazar and Joshua son of Nun. 18 Take one leader from each tribe to distribute the land. 19 These are the names of the men:
Caleb(K) son of Jephunneh from the tribe of Judah;
20 Shemuel son of Ammihud from the tribe of Simeon’s descendants;
21 Elidad son of Chislon from the tribe of Benjamin;
22 Bukki son of Jogli, a leader from the tribe of Dan’s descendants;
23 from the sons of Joseph:
Hanniel son of Ephod, a leader from the tribe of Manasseh’s descendants,
24 Kemuel son of Shiphtan, a leader from the tribe of Ephraim’s descendants;
25 Eli-zaphan son of Parnach, a leader from the tribe of Zebulun’s descendants;
26 Paltiel son of Azzan, a leader from the tribe of Issachar’s descendants;
27 Ahihud son of Shelomi, a leader from the tribe of Asher’s descendants;
28 Pedahel son of Ammihud, a leader from the tribe of Naphtali’s descendants.’
29 These are the ones the Lord commanded to distribute the inheritance to the Israelites in the land of Canaan.

迦南地的境界
34 耶和华对摩西说： 2 “你要吩咐以色列人说：‘你们进了迦南地的时候，归你们作产业的迦南地及它的四境就是以下这些地区。 3 你们南面的地区要从寻的旷野，贴着以东边界；你们的南界要从盐海东面的尽头起； 4 你们的边界要转到亚克拉滨坡的南边，经过寻，直达加低斯．巴尼亚的南边，又出到哈萨．亚达，过到押们； 5 你们的边界要从押们转到埃及河，直达到海。
6 “‘西界方面，你们有大海和海岸；这要作你们的西界。
7 “‘你们的北界如下：从大海起画界，直到何珥山； 8 从何珥山起画界，直到哈马口，使边界直到西达达； 9 这边界再伸到西斐仑，直到哈萨．以难；这要作你们的北界。
10 “‘你们要从哈萨．以难，画到示番为东界。 11 这边界要从示番下到亚延东面的利比拉；这边界要继续伸展直达基尼烈湖的东边。 12 这边界要下到约旦河，直到盐海。这要作你们的土地四周的边界。’”
13 摩西吩咐以色列人说：“这就是你们要抽签承受为业之地，是耶和华吩咐给九个半支派的； 14 因为流本子孙的支派和迦得子孙的支派，按着父家已经取得了产业，玛拿西的半个支派也取得了产业； 15 这两个半支派已经在耶利哥对面，约旦河东岸，向日出之地得了产业。”
监管分地的人员
16 耶和华对摩西说： 17 “这是要把地业分配给你们的人的名字：以利亚撒祭司和嫩的儿子约书亚。 18 你们又要从每支派中选出一个领袖，来帮助分配地业。 19 这些人的名字是：犹大支派有耶孚尼的儿子迦勒。 20 西缅子孙的支派有亚米忽的儿子示母利。 21 便雅悯支派有基斯伦的儿子以利达。 22 但子孙的支派有一个领袖，是约利的儿子布基。 23 约瑟的后裔，玛拿西子孙的支派有一个领袖，是以弗的儿子汉聂。 24 以法莲子孙的支派有一个领袖，是拾弗但的儿子基母利。 25 西布伦子孙的支派有一个领袖，是帕纳的儿子以利撒番。 26 以萨迦子孙的支派有一个领袖，是阿散的儿子帕铁。 27 亚设子孙的支派有一个领袖，是示罗米的儿子亚希忽。 28 拿弗他利子孙的支派有一个领袖，是亚米忽的儿子比大黑。” 29 这些人，就是耶和华所吩咐，把产业分给迦南地的以色列人的。
