Numbers 34
New King James Version
The Appointed Boundaries of Canaan
34 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2 “Command the children of Israel, and say to them: ‘When you come into (A)the land of Canaan, this is the land that shall fall to you as an inheritance—the land of Canaan to its boundaries. 3 (B)Your southern border shall be from the Wilderness of Zin along the border of Edom; then your southern border shall extend eastward to the end of (C)the Salt Sea; 4 your border shall turn from the southern side of (D)the Ascent of Akrabbim, continue to Zin, and be on the south of (E)Kadesh Barnea; then it shall go on to (F)Hazar Addar, and continue to Azmon; 5 the border shall turn from Azmon (G)to the Brook of Egypt, and it shall end at the Sea.
6 ‘As for the (H)western border, you shall have the Great Sea for a border; this shall be your western border.
7 ‘And this shall be your northern border: From the Great Sea you shall mark out your border line to (I)Mount Hor; 8 from Mount Hor you shall mark out your border (J)to the entrance of Hamath; then the direction of the border shall be toward (K)Zedad; 9 the border shall proceed to Ziphron, and it shall end at (L)Hazar Enan. This shall be your northern border.
10 ‘You shall mark out your eastern border from Hazar Enan to Shepham; 11 the border shall go down from Shepham (M)to Riblah on the east side of Ain; the border shall go down and reach to the eastern [a]side of the Sea (N)of Chinnereth; 12 the border shall go down along the Jordan, and it shall end at (O)the Salt Sea. This shall be your land with its surrounding boundaries.’ ”
13 Then Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying: (P)“This is the land which 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 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 the half-tribe of Manasseh has received its inheritance. 15 The two tribes and the half-tribe have received their inheritance on this side of the Jordan, across from Jericho eastward, toward the sunrise.”
The Leaders Appointed to Divide the Land
16 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 17 “These are the names of the men who shall divide the land among you as an inheritance: (R)Eleazar the priest and Joshua the son of Nun. 18 And you shall take one (S)leader of every tribe to divide the land for the inheritance. 19 These are the names of the men: from the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh; 20 from the tribe of the children of Simeon, Shemuel the son of Ammihud; 21 from the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad the son of Chislon; 22 a leader from the tribe of the children of Dan, Bukki the son of Jogli; 23 from the sons of Joseph: a leader from the tribe of the children of Manasseh, Hanniel the son of Ephod, 24 and a leader from the tribe of the children of Ephraim, Kemuel the son of Shiphtan; 25 a leader from the tribe of the children of Zebulun, Elizaphan the son of Parnach; 26 a leader from the tribe of the children of Issachar, Paltiel the son of Azzan; 27 a leader from the tribe of the children of Asher, Ahihud the son of Shelomi; 28 and a leader from the tribe of the children of Naphtali, Pedahel the son of Ammihud.”
29 These are the ones the Lord commanded to [b]divide the inheritance among the children of Israel in the land of Canaan.

Instruction for Apportioning Canaan
34 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2 “Command the sons of Israel and say to them, ‘When you enter (A)the land of Canaan, this is the land that shall fall to you as an inheritance, that is, the land of Canaan according to its borders. 3 (B)Your southern region shall [a]extend from the wilderness of Zin along the side of Edom, and your southern border shall [b]extend from the end of the Salt Sea (C)eastward. 4 Then your border shall change direction from the south to the ascent of Akrabbim and [c]continue to Zin, and its [d]termination shall be to the south of (D)Kadesh-barnea; and it shall [e]reach Hazaraddar and [f]continue to Azmon. 5 Then the border shall change direction from Azmon to the brook of Egypt, and its termination shall be at (E)the sea.
6 ‘As for the western border, you shall have the Great Sea, that is, its [g]coastline; this shall be your western border.
7 ‘(F)And this shall be your northern border: you shall draw your boundary from the Great Sea to Mount Hor. 8 You shall draw a boundary from Mount Hor to (G)the [h]Lebo-hamath, and the termination of the border shall be at Zedad; 9 and the border shall proceed to Ziphron, and its termination shall be at Hazar-enan. This shall be your northern border.
10 ‘For your eastern border you shall also draw a boundary from Hazar-enan to Shepham, 11 and the border shall go down from Shepham to (H)Riblah on the east side of Ain; and the border shall go down and reach to the slope on the east side of the Sea of (I)Chinnereth. 12 And the border shall go down to the Jordan, and its termination shall be at the Salt Sea. This shall be your land according to its borders on all sides.’”
13 So Moses commanded the sons of Israel, saying, “(J)This is the land that you are to possess by lot, which the Lord has commanded to give to the nine and a half tribes. 14 (K)For the tribe of the sons of Reuben have received theirs according to their fathers’ households, and the tribe of the sons of Gad according to their fathers’ households, and the half-tribe of Manasseh have received their possession. 15 The two and a half tribes have received their possession across the Jordan opposite Jericho, eastward toward the sunrise.”
16 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 17 “(L)These are the names of the men who shall assign the land to you as an inheritance: Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun. 18 And you shall take one leader of each tribe to assign the land as an inheritance. 19 These are the names of the men: of the tribe of (M)Judah, (N)Caleb the son of Jephunneh. 20 Of the tribe of the sons of (O)Simeon, Samuel the son of Ammihud. 21 Of the tribe of (P)Benjamin, Elidad the son of Chislon. 22 And of the tribe of the sons of Dan, a leader, Bukki the son of Jogli. 23 Of the sons of Joseph: of the tribe of the sons of Manasseh, a leader, Hanniel the son of Ephod. 24 Of the tribe of the sons of Ephraim, a leader, Kemuel the son of Shiphtan. 25 Of the tribe of the sons of Zebulun, a leader, Elizaphan the son of Parnach. 26 Of the tribe of the sons of Issachar, a leader, Paltiel the son of Azzan. 27 Of the tribe of the sons of Asher, a leader, Ahihud the son of Shelomi. 28 Of the tribe of the sons of Naphtali, a leader, Pedahel the son of Ammihud.” 29 These are the ones whom the Lord commanded to apportion the inheritance to the sons of Israel in the land of Canaan.

34 Och HERREN talade till Mose och sade:
2 Bjud Israels barn och säg till dem: När I kommen till Kanaans land, då är detta det land som skall tillfalla eder såsom arvedel: Kanaans land, så långt dess gränser nå.
3 Edert land skall på södra sidan sträcka sig från öknen Sin utmed Edom; och eder södra gräns skall i öster begynna vid ändan av Salthavet.
4 Sedan skall eder gräns böja sig söder om Skorpionhöjden och gå fram till Sin och gå ut söder om Kades-Barnea. Och den skall gå vidare ut till Hasar-Addar och fram till Asmon.
5 Och från Asmon skall gränsen böja sig mot Egyptens bäck och gå ut vid havet.
6 Och eder gräns i väster skall vara Stora havet; det skall utgöra gränsen. Detta skall vara eder gräns i väster.
7 Och detta skall vara eder gräns i norr: Från Stora havet skolen I draga eder gränslinje fram vid berget Hor.
8 Från berget Hor skolen I draga eder gränslinje dit där vägen går till Hamat, och gränsen skall gå ut vid Sedad.
9 Sedan skall gränsen gå till Sifron och därifrån ut vid Hasar-Enan. Detta skall vara eder gräns i norr.
10 och såsom eder gräns i öster skolen I draga upp en linje från Hasar-Enan fram till Sefam.
11 Och från Sefam skall gränsen gå ned till Haribla, öster om Ain, och gränsen skall gå vidare ned och intill bergsluttningen vid Kinneretsjön, österut.
12 Sedan skall gränsen gå ned till Jordan och ut vid Salthavet. Detta skall vara edert land, med dess gränser runt omkring.
13 Och Mose bjöd Israels barn och sade: Detta är det land som I genom lottkastning skolen utskifta såsom arvedel åt eder, det land om vilket HERREN har bjudit att det skall givas åt de nio stammarna och den ena halva stammen.
14 Ty rubeniternas barns stam, efter dess familjer, och gaditernas barns stam, efter dess familjer, och den andra hälften av Manasse stam, dessa hava redan fått sin arvedel.
15 Dessa två stammar och denna halva stam hava fått sin arvedel på andra sidan Jordan mitt emot Jeriko, österut mot solens uppgång.
16 Och HERREN talade till Mose och sade:
17 Dessa äro namnen på de män som skola åt eder utskifta landet i arvslotter: först och främst prästen Eleasar och Josua, Nuns son;
18 vidare skolen I taga en hövding ur var stam till att utskifta landet,
19 och dessa äro de männens namn: av Juda stam Kaleb, Jefunnes son;
20 av Simeons barns stam Samuel Ammihuds son;
21 av Benjamins stam Elidad, Kislons son;
22 av Dans barns stam en hövding, Bucki, Joglis son;
23 av Josefs barn: av Manasse barns stam en hövding, Hanniel, Efods son,
24 och av Efraims barn stam en hövding, Kemuel, Siftans son;
25 av Sebulons barns stam en hövding, Elisafan, Parnaks son;
26 av Isaskars barns stam en hövding, Paltiel, Assans son;
27 av Asers barns stam en hövding, Ahihud, Selomis son;
28 av Naftali barns stam en hövding, Pedael, Ammihuds son.
29 Dessa äro de som HERREN bjöd att utskifta arvslotterna åt Israels barn i Kanaans land.
