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.

命定迦南地之境界
34 耶和華曉諭摩西說： 2 「你吩咐以色列人說：你們到了迦南地，就是歸你們為業的迦南四境之地： 3 南角要從尋的曠野，貼著以東的邊界。南界要從鹽海東頭起， 4 繞到亞克拉濱坡的南邊，接連到尋，直通到加低斯巴尼亞的南邊，又通到哈薩亞達，接連到押們， 5 從押們轉到埃及小河，直通到海為止。
6 「西邊要以大海為界。這就是你們的西界。
7 「北界要從大海起，劃到何珥山， 8 從何珥山劃到哈馬口，通到西達達， 9 又通到西斐崙，直到哈薩以難。這要做你們的北界。
10 「你們要從哈薩以難劃到示番為東界。 11 這界要從示番下到亞延東邊的利比拉，又要達到基尼烈湖的東邊。 12 這界要下到約旦河，通到鹽海為止。這四圍的邊界以內，要做你們的地。」
13 摩西吩咐以色列人說：「這地就是耶和華吩咐拈鬮給九個半支派承受為業的。 14 因為魯本支派和迦得支派按著宗族受了產業，瑪拿西半個支派也受了產業。 15 這兩個半支派已經在耶利哥對面，約旦河東，向日出之地受了產業。」
揀選分地之人
16 耶和華曉諭摩西說： 17 「要給你們分地為業之人的名字是祭司以利亞撒和嫩的兒子約書亞。 18 又要從每支派中選一個首領幫助他們。 19 這些人的名字：猶大支派有耶孚尼的兒子迦勒； 20 西緬支派有亞米忽的兒子示母利； 21 便雅憫支派有基斯倫的兒子以利達； 22 但支派有一個首領，約利的兒子布基； 23 約瑟的子孫瑪拿西支派有一個首領，以弗的兒子漢聶； 24 以法蓮支派有一個首領，拾弗但的兒子基母利； 25 西布倫支派有一個首領，帕納的兒子以利撒番； 26 以薩迦支派有一個首領，阿散的兒子帕鐵； 27 亞設支派有一個首領，示羅米的兒子亞希忽； 28 拿弗他利支派有一個首領，亞米忽的兒子比大黑。」 29 這些人就是耶和華所吩咐，在迦南地把產業分給以色列人的。

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)

20 Shemuel son of Ammihud,
from the tribe of Simeon;(AB)
21 Elidad son of Kislon,

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;

29 These are the men the Lord commanded to assign the inheritance to the Israelites in the land of Canaan.(AH)
