Boundaries of the Land
34 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2 “Command the people of Israel, and say to them, When you enter (A)the land of Canaan (B)(this is the land that shall fall to you for an inheritance, the land of Canaan as defined by its borders), 3 (C)your south side shall be from the wilderness of Zin alongside Edom, and your southern border shall run from the end of (D)the Salt Sea on the east. 4 And your border shall turn south of (E)the ascent of Akrabbim, and cross to Zin, and its limit shall be south of Kadesh-barnea. Then it shall go on to (F)Hazar-addar, and pass along to Azmon. 5 And the border shall turn (G)from Azmon to (H)the Brook of Egypt, and its limit shall be at the sea.
6 “For the western border, you shall have the Great Sea and its[a] coast. This shall be your western border.
7 “This shall be your northern border: from the Great Sea you shall draw a line to (I)Mount Hor. 8 From Mount Hor you shall draw a line (J)to Lebo-hamath, and the limit of the border shall be at (K)Zedad. 9 Then the border shall extend to Ziphron, and its limit shall be at (L)Hazar-enan. This shall be your northern border.
10 “You shall draw a line for your eastern border from Hazar-enan to Shepham. 11 And the border shall go down from Shepham to (M)Riblah on the east side of Ain. And the border shall go down and reach to the shoulder of (N)the Sea of Chinnereth on the east. 12 And the border shall go down to the Jordan, and its limit shall be at (O)the Salt Sea. This shall be your land as defined by its borders all around.”
13 Moses commanded the people of Israel, saying, (P)“This is the land that you shall inherit by lot, which the Lord has commanded to give to the nine tribes and to the half-tribe. 14 (Q)For the tribe of the people of Reuben by fathers' houses and the tribe of the people of Gad by their fathers' houses have received their inheritance, and also the half-tribe of Manasseh. 15 The two tribes and the half-tribe have received their inheritance beyond the Jordan east of Jericho, toward the sunrise.”
List of Tribal Chiefs
16 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 17 “These are the names of the men who shall divide the land to you for inheritance: (R)Eleazar the priest and Joshua the son of Nun. 18 You shall take one (S)chief from every tribe to divide the land for inheritance. 19 These are the names of the men: Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh. 20 Of the tribe of the people of Simeon, Shemuel the son of Ammihud. 21 Of the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad the son of Chislon. 22 Of the tribe of the people of Dan a chief, Bukki the son of Jogli. 23 Of the people of Joseph: of the tribe of the people of Manasseh a chief, Hanniel the son of Ephod. 24 And of the tribe of the people of Ephraim a chief, Kemuel the son of Shiphtan. 25 Of the tribe of the people of Zebulun a chief, Elizaphan the son of Parnach. 26 Of the tribe of the people of Issachar a chief, Paltiel the son of Azzan. 27 And of the tribe of the people of Asher a chief, Ahihud the son of Shelomi. 28 Of the tribe of the people of Naphtali a chief, Pedahel the son of Ammihud.” 29 These are the men whom the Lord commanded to divide the inheritance for the people of Israel in the land of Canaan.

34 El Señor habló con Moisés, y le dijo:
2 «Dales estas instrucciones a los hijos de Israel: “Cuando ustedes hayan entrado en la tierra de Canaán, es decir, en la tierra que les voy a dar en posesión, sus límites serán, 3 por el sur, desde el desierto de Zin hasta la frontera de Edom, al este, siendo su límite el extremo sur del Mar Salado. 4 Esta frontera dará un rodeo desde el sur hasta la cuesta de Acrabín, pasará por Zin, y del sur se extenderá hasta Cadés Barnea, llegando hasta Jazar Adar, y seguirá hasta Asmón; 5 de Asmón seguirá hasta el torrente de Egipto, y terminará en el oeste.
6 »”La frontera occidental será el Mar Grande.
7 »”La frontera norte partirá del Mar Grande en línea recta hasta el monte Hor. 8 Del monte Hor trazarán una línea hasta la entrada de Jamat, y la frontera seguirá hasta Zedad, 9 continuando hasta Zifrón, y terminará en Jasar Enán. Ésta será la frontera norte.
10 »”Para la frontera este trazarán una línea desde Jasar Enán hasta Sefán, 11 bajando de Sefán a Ribla, al este de Ayin; y siguiendo hasta llegar a la costa oriental del mar de Cineret. 12 De allí la frontera bajará al Jordán, y terminará en el Mar Salado. Ésta será su tierra y sus fronteras alrededor.”»
13 Moisés les dio estas instrucciones a los hijos de Israel, y les dijo:
«Ésta es la tierra que se repartirá entre ustedes por sorteo. El Señor ha ordenado que se reparta entre las nueve tribus y media,(A) 14 pues ya han tomado posesión de sus terrenos la tribu de los hijos de Rubén, según las familias de sus antepasados, y la tribu de los hijos de Gad, según las familias de sus antepasados, y la media tribu de Manasés. 15 Dos tribus y media tomaron su heredad en esta ribera oriental del Jordán, frente a Jericó, por donde sale el sol.»(B)
16 El Señor habló con Moisés, y le dijo:
17 «Aquí están los nombres de quienes se encargarán de repartir la tierra:
»El sacerdote Eleazar, y Josué hijo de Nun.
18 »Tomarán además un príncipe de cada tribu, para que les dé posesión de la tierra. 19 Éstos son sus nombres:
»De la tribu de Judá, Caleb hijo de Yefune.
20 »De la tribu de los hijos de Simeón, Semuel hijo de Amiud.
21 »De la tribu de Benjamín, Elidad hijo de Quislón.
22 »De la tribu de los hijos de Dan, el príncipe Buqui hijo de Yoglí.
23 »De los hijos de José: de la tribu de los hijos de Manasés, el príncipe Janiel hijo de Efod, 24 y de la tribu de los hijos de Efraín, el príncipe Kemuel hijo de Siftán.
25 »De la tribu de los hijos de Zabulón, el príncipe Elisafán hijo de Parnac.
26 »De la tribu de los hijos de Isacar, el príncipe Paltiel hijo de Azán.
27 »De la tribu de los hijos de Aser, el príncipe Ajiud hijo de Selomi.
28 »De la tribu de los hijos de Neftalí, el príncipe Pedael hijo de Amiud.»
29 A éstos el Señor les ordenó hacer la repartición de tierras para los hijos de Israel en la tierra de Canaán.

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)

“‘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)
