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.

Kanaans gränser
34 Herren talade till Mose. Han sade: 2 "Befall Israels barn och säg till dem: När ni kommer till Kanaans land, då är detta det land som skall tillfalla er som arvedel: Kanaans land, så långt dess gränser når.
3 I söder skall ert land sträcka sig från öknen Sin utmed Edom, och er södra gräns skall börja vid änden av Salthavet i öster. 4 Sedan skall er gräns vända sig söder om Skorpionhöjden och gå fram till Sin och gå ut söder om Kadesh-Barnea, och vidare till Hasar-Addar och fram till Asmon. 5 Från Asmon skall gränsen vända sig mot Egyptens bäck[a] och gå ut vid havet.[b]
6 Er gräns i väster skall vara Stora havet. Det skall vara er gräns i väster.
7 Och detta skall vara er gräns i norr: Från Stora havet skall ni dra er gränslinje till berget Hor. 8 Från berget Hor skall ni dra er gränslinje dit där vägen går till Hamat, och gränsen skall gå ut till Sedad. 9 Sedan skall gränsen gå till Sifron och sluta vid Hasar-Enan. Detta skall vara er gräns i norr.
10 Som er gräns i öster skall ni dra en linje från Hasar-Enan till Sefam. 11 Och från Sefam skall gränsen gå ner till Haribla, öster om Ajin, och vidare ner längs östra sluttningen av Kinneretsjön.[c] 12 Sedan skall gränsen gå ner till Jordan och ut vid Salthavet. Detta skall vara ert land med dess gränser runt omkring."
13 Och Mose gav Israels barn denna befallning: "Detta är det land som ni genom lottkastning skall utskifta som arvedel åt er. Herren har befallt att det skall ges åt de nio stammarna och den ena halva stammen. 14 Ty familjerna av Rubens stam och Gads stam och den andra hälften av Manasse stam har redan fått sin arvedel. 15 Dessa två stammar och denna halva stam har fått sin arvedel på andra sidan Jordan mitt emot Jeriko, österut mot solens uppgång."
Stamfurstarna som skulle utskifta landet
16 Herren talade till Mose. Han sade: 17 "Detta är namnen på de män som åt er skall utskifta landet i arvslotter: prästen Eleaser och Josua, Nuns son. 18 Och ni skall ta en furste ur varje stam för att utskifta landet i arvslotter. 19 Detta är männens namn:
Av Juda stam Kaleb, Jefunnes son;
20 av Simeons stam Samuel, Ammihuds son;
21 av Benjamins stam Elidad, Kislons son;
22 av Dans stam en furste, Bucki, Joglis son;
23 av Josefs barn: av Manasse stam en furste, Hanniel, Efods son;
24 och av Efraims stam en furste, Kemuel, Siftans son;
25 av Sebulons stam en furste, Elisafan, Parnaks son;
26 av Isaskars stam en furste, Paltiel, Assans son;
27 av Asers stam en furste, Ahihud, Selomis son;
28 av Naftali stam en furste, Pedael, Ammihuds son."
29 Dessa är de som Herren befallde att utskifta arvslotterna åt Israels barn i Kanaans land.

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.
