Numbers 34
Good News Translation
The Boundaries of the Land
34 The Lord gave Moses 2 the following instructions for the people of Israel: “When you enter Canaan, the land which I am giving you, the borders of your territory will be as follows. 3 The southern border will extend from the wilderness of Zin along the border of Edom. It will begin on the east at the southern end of the Dead Sea. 4 Then it will turn southward toward Akrabbim Pass and continue on through Zin as far south as Kadesh Barnea. Then it will turn northwest to Hazar Addar and on to Azmon, 5 where it will turn toward the valley at the border of Egypt and end at the Mediterranean.
6 “The western border will be the Mediterranean Sea.
7 “The northern border will follow a line from the Mediterranean to Mount Hor 8 and from there to Hamath Pass. It will continue to Zedad 9 and to Ziphron, and will end at Hazar Enan.
10 “The eastern border will follow a line from Hazar Enan to Shepham. 11 It will then go south to Harbel, east of Ain, and on to the hills on the eastern shore of Lake Galilee, 12 then south along the Jordan River to the Dead Sea.
“These will be the four borders of your land.”
13 (A)So Moses said to the Israelites, “This is the land that you will receive by drawing lots, the land that the Lord has assigned to the nine and one-half tribes. 14 The tribes of Reuben and Gad and the eastern half of Manasseh have received their property, divided according to their families, 15 on the eastern side of the Jordan, opposite Jericho.”
The Leaders Responsible for Dividing the Land
16 The Lord said to Moses, 17 “Eleazar the priest and Joshua son of Nun will divide the land for the people. 18 Take also one leader from each tribe to help them divide it.” 19-28 These are the men the Lord chose:
| Tribe | Leader |
|---|---|
| Judah | Caleb son of Jephunneh |
| Simeon | Shelumiel son of Ammihud |
| Benjamin | Elidad son of Chislon |
| Dan | Bukki son of Jogli |
| Manasseh | Hanniel son of Ephod |
| Ephraim | Kemuel son of Shiphtan |
| Zebulun | Elizaphan son of Parnach |
| Issachar | Paltiel son of Azzan |
| Asher | Ahihud son of Shelomi |
| Naphtali | Pedahel son of Ammihud |
29 These are the men that the Lord assigned to divide the property for the people of Israel in the land of Canaan.

Fronteras de Canaán
34 El Señor le dijo a Moisés: 2 «Hazles saber a los israelitas que las fronteras de Canaán, la tierra que van a recibir en heredad, serán las siguientes:
3 »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. 4 A partir de allí, la línea fronteriza avanzará hacia el sur, hacia la cuesta de los Alacranes, cruzará Zin hasta alcanzar Cades Barnea, y llegará hasta Jazar Adar y Asmón. 5 De allí la frontera se volverá hacia el arroyo de Egipto, para terminar en el mar Mediterráneo.
6 »La frontera occidental del país será la costa del mar Mediterráneo.
7 »Para la frontera norte, la línea fronteriza correrá desde el mar Mediterráneo hasta el monte Hor, 8 y desde el monte Hor hasta Lebó Jamat.[a] De allí, esta línea seguirá hasta llegar a Zedad, 9 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 les 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 y de 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 le 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 Vosotros, por vuestra parte, tomaréis un jefe de cada tribu para que os 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 les encargó el Señor repartir la heredad entre los israelitas, en la tierra de Canaán.

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.
