Numbers 34
New International Reader's Version
Israel Arrives at the Borders of Canaan
34 The Lord said to Moses, 2 “Give the Israelites a command. Tell them, ‘You are going to enter Canaan. The land will be given to you as your own. Here are the borders it must have.
3 “ ‘Your southern border will include part of the Desert of Zin. It will be along the border of Edom. Your southern border will start in the east from the southern end of the Dead Sea. 4 It will cross south of Scorpion Pass. It will continue on to Zin. From there it will go south of Kadesh Barnea. Then it will go to Hazar Addar and over to Azmon. 5 There it will turn and join the Wadi of Egypt. It will come to an end at the Mediterranean Sea.
6 Your western border will be the coast of the Mediterranean Sea. That will be your border on the west.
7 For your northern border, run a line from the Mediterranean Sea to Mount Hor. 8 Continue it from Mount Hor to Lebo Hamath. Then the border will go to Zedad. 9 It will continue to Ziphron. It will come to an end at Hazar Enan. That will be your border on the north.
10 For your eastern border, run a line from Hazar Enan to Shepham. 11 The border will go down from Shepham to Riblah. Riblah is on the east side of Ain. From there the border will continue along the slopes east of the Sea of Galilee. 12 Then the border will go down along the Jordan River. It will come to an end at the Dead Sea.
“ ‘That will be your land. And those will be its borders on every side.’ ”
13 Moses gave the Israelites a command. He said, “Cast lots when you divide up the land. Each tribe will have its own share. The Lord has ordered it to be given to the nine and a half tribes. 14 The families of the tribes of Reuben and Gad have already received their shares. The families of half of the tribe of Manasseh have also received their share. 15 Those two and a half tribes have received their shares east of the Jordan River. It flows near Jericho. Their land is toward the sunrise.”
16 The Lord spoke to Moses. He said, 17 “Here are the names of the men who will give out the shares of the land to your people. They are Eleazar the priest and Joshua, the son of Nun. 18 Also appoint one leader from each of the nine and a half tribes. They will help you give out the land.
19 “Here are their names.
“Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, is from the tribe of Judah.
20 Shemuel, the son of Ammihud, is from the tribe of Simeon.
21 Elidad, the son of Kislon, is from the tribe of Benjamin.
22 Bukki, the son of Jogli, is the leader from the tribe of Dan.
23 Hanniel, the son of Ephod, is the leader from the tribe of Manasseh. Manasseh was the son of Joseph.
24 Kemuel, the son of Shiphtan, is the leader from the tribe of Ephraim. Ephraim was the son of Joseph.
25 Elizaphan, the son of Parnak, is the leader from the tribe of Zebulun.
26 Paltiel, the son of Azzan, is the leader from the tribe of Issachar.
27 Ahihud, the son of Shelomi, is the leader from the tribe of Asher.
28 Pedahel, the son of Ammihud, is the leader from the tribe of Naphtali.”
29 These are the men the Lord commanded to give out the shares of the land. They were commanded to give them to Israel in the land of Canaan.

迦南地的境界
34 耶和华对摩西说: 2 “你要吩咐以色列人说:‘你们进了迦南地的时候,归你们作产业的迦南地及它的四境就是以下这些地区。 3 你们南面的地区要从寻的旷野,贴着以东边界;你们的南界要从盐海东面的尽头起; 4 你们的边界要转到亚克拉滨坡的南边,经过寻,直达加低斯.巴尼亚的南边,又出到哈萨.亚达,过到押们; 5 你们的边界要从押们转到埃及河,直达到海。
6 “‘西界方面,你们有大海和海岸;这要作你们的西界。
7 “‘你们的北界如下:从大海起画界,直到何珥山; 8 从何珥山起画界,直到哈马口,使边界直到西达达; 9 这边界再伸到西斐仑,直到哈萨.以难;这要作你们的北界。
10 “‘你们要从哈萨.以难,画到示番为东界。 11 这边界要从示番下到亚延东面的利比拉;这边界要继续伸展直达基尼烈湖的东边。 12 这边界要下到约旦河,直到盐海。这要作你们的土地四周的边界。’”
13 摩西吩咐以色列人说:“这就是你们要抽签承受为业之地,是耶和华吩咐给九个半支派的; 14 因为流本子孙的支派和迦得子孙的支派,按着父家已经取得了产业,玛拿西的半个支派也取得了产业; 15 这两个半支派已经在耶利哥对面,约旦河东岸,向日出之地得了产业。”
监管分地的人员
16 耶和华对摩西说: 17 “这是要把地业分配给你们的人的名字:以利亚撒祭司和嫩的儿子约书亚。 18 你们又要从每支派中选出一个领袖,来帮助分配地业。 19 这些人的名字是:犹大支派有耶孚尼的儿子迦勒。 20 西缅子孙的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 但子孙的支派有一个领袖,是约利的儿子布基。 23 约瑟的后裔,玛拿西子孙的支派有一个领袖,是以弗的儿子汉聂。 24 以法莲子孙的支派有一个领袖,是拾弗但的儿子基母利。 25 西布伦子孙的支派有一个领袖,是帕纳的儿子以利撒番。 26 以萨迦子孙的支派有一个领袖,是阿散的儿子帕铁。 27 亚设子孙的支派有一个领袖,是示罗米的儿子亚希忽。 28 拿弗他利子孙的支派有一个领袖,是亚米忽的儿子比大黑。” 29 这些人,就是耶和华所吩咐,把产业分给迦南地的以色列人的。
