Numbers 34
New Living Translation
Boundaries of the Land
34 Then the Lord said to Moses, 2 “Give these instructions to the Israelites: When you come into the land of Canaan, which I am giving you as your special possession, these will be the boundaries. 3 The southern portion of your country will extend from the wilderness of Zin, along the edge of Edom. The southern boundary will begin on the east at the Dead Sea.[a] 4 It will then run south past Scorpion Pass[b] in the direction of Zin. Its southernmost point will be Kadesh-barnea, from which it will go to Hazar-addar, and on to Azmon. 5 From Azmon the boundary will turn toward the Brook of Egypt and end at the Mediterranean Sea.[c]
6 “Your western boundary will be the coastline of the Mediterranean Sea.
7 “Your northern boundary will begin at the Mediterranean Sea and run east to Mount Hor, 8 then to Lebo-hamath, and on through Zedad 9 and Ziphron to Hazar-enan. This will be your northern boundary.
10 “The eastern boundary will start at Hazar-enan and run south to Shepham, 11 then down to Riblah on the east side of Ain. From there the boundary will run down along the eastern edge of the Sea of Galilee,[d] 12 and then along the Jordan River to the Dead Sea. These are the boundaries of your land.”
13 Then Moses told the Israelites, “This territory is the homeland you are to divide among yourselves by sacred lot. The Lord has commanded that the land be divided among the nine and a half remaining tribes. 14 The families of the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and half the tribe of Manasseh have already received their grants of land 15 on the east side of the Jordan River, across from Jericho toward the sunrise.”
Leaders to Divide the Land
16 And the Lord said to Moses, 17 “Eleazar the priest and Joshua son of Nun are the men designated to divide the grants of land among the people. 18 Enlist one leader from each tribe to help them with the task. 19 These are the tribes and the names of the leaders:
Tribe | Leader |
---|---|
Judah | Caleb son of Jephunneh |
20 Simeon | Shemuel son of Ammihud |
21 Benjamin | Elidad son of Kislon |
22 Dan | Bukki son of Jogli |
23 Manasseh son of Joseph | Hanniel son of Ephod |
24 Ephraim son of Joseph | Kemuel son of Shiphtan |
25 Zebulun | Elizaphan son of Parnach |
26 Issachar | Paltiel son of Azzan |
27 Asher | Ahihud son of Shelomi |
28 Naphtali | Pedahel son of Ammihud |
29 These are the men the Lord has appointed to divide the grants of land in Canaan among the Israelites.”

命定迦南地之境界
34 耶和华晓谕摩西说: 2 “你吩咐以色列人说:你们到了迦南地,就是归你们为业的迦南四境之地: 3 南角要从寻的旷野,贴着以东的边界。南界要从盐海东头起, 4 绕到亚克拉滨坡的南边,接连到寻,直通到加低斯巴尼亚的南边,又通到哈萨亚达,接连到押们, 5 从押们转到埃及小河,直通到海为止。
6 “西边要以大海为界。这就是你们的西界。
7 “北界要从大海起,划到何珥山, 8 从何珥山划到哈马口,通到西达达, 9 又通到西斐仑,直到哈萨以难。这要做你们的北界。
10 “你们要从哈萨以难划到示番为东界。 11 这界要从示番下到亚延东边的利比拉,又要达到基尼烈湖的东边。 12 这界要下到约旦河,通到盐海为止。这四围的边界以内,要做你们的地。”
13 摩西吩咐以色列人说:“这地就是耶和华吩咐拈阄给九个半支派承受为业的。 14 因为鲁本支派和迦得支派按着宗族受了产业,玛拿西半个支派也受了产业。 15 这两个半支派已经在耶利哥对面,约旦河东,向日出之地受了产业。”
拣选分地之人
16 耶和华晓谕摩西说: 17 “要给你们分地为业之人的名字是祭司以利亚撒和嫩的儿子约书亚。 18 又要从每支派中选一个首领帮助他们。 19 这些人的名字:犹大支派有耶孚尼的儿子迦勒; 20 西缅支派有亚米忽的儿子示母利; 21 便雅悯支派有基斯伦的儿子以利达; 22 但支派有一个首领,约利的儿子布基; 23 约瑟的子孙玛拿西支派有一个首领,以弗的儿子汉聂; 24 以法莲支派有一个首领,拾弗但的儿子基母利; 25 西布伦支派有一个首领,帕纳的儿子以利撒番; 26 以萨迦支派有一个首领,阿散的儿子帕铁; 27 亚设支派有一个首领,示罗米的儿子亚希忽; 28 拿弗他利支派有一个首领,亚米忽的儿子比大黑。” 29 这些人就是耶和华所吩咐,在迦南地把产业分给以色列人的。

“‘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)
