De grenzen van Kanaän

34 De Heer zei tegen Mozes: "Zeg tegen de Israëlieten: Als jullie in Kanaän komen, zal dat land van jullie zijn. Dit zullen de grenzen zijn:

De zuidgrens zal lopen vanaf de Zin-woestijn, langs Edom, tot aan de zuidpunt van de Zoutzee in het oosten. Dan zal de grens ombuigen van het zuiden omhoog naar de Akrabbim-pas en verder lopen tot Zin. De grens zal langs de zuidkant van Kades-Barnea verder lopen naar Hazar-Addar en Azmon. Daar zal de grens ombuigen naar de Beek van Egypte en eindigen bij de Grote Zee.[a]

De Grote Zee en de kust zullen de westgrens zijn.

En dit zal de noordgrens zijn: vanaf de Grote Zee loopt de grens naar de berg Hor. Vanaf Hor naar de weg naar Hamat en dan verder naar Zedad. Van daar naar Zifron en tot aan Hazar-Enan. Dit zal de noordgrens zijn.

10 In het oosten loopt de grens van Hazar-Enan naar Sefam. 11 Van Sefam naar het zuiden, naar Ribla, ten oosten van Aïn. Daar zal de grens verder naar het zuiden lopen langs de oostkant van de zee Kinnéret. 12 Daar zal de grens verder naar het zuiden gaan langs de Jordaan en eindigen bij de Zoutzee. Dit zullen de grenzen van jullie land zijn."

13 En Mozes beval de Israëlieten: "Dit is het land dat jullie onder elkaar moeten verdelen door er om te loten. Dit is het land dat de Heer aan 9½ stam geeft. 14 Want de stammen van Ruben en Gad en de helft van de stam van Manasse hebben hun eigen gebied al gekregen. 15 Hun eigen gebied is aan de oostkant van de Jordaan, tegenover Jericho."

De namen van de leiders van de stammen

16 En de Heer zei tegen Mozes: 17 "Dit zijn de namen van de mannen die het land onder jullie moeten verloten: ten eerste de priester Eleazar en Jozua, de zoon van Nun. 18 Verder moet uit elke stam één leider loten over het stuk grond dat ze zullen bezitten.

19 Dit zijn de namen van die mannen:

van de stam van Juda: Kaleb, de zoon van Jefunne.

20 Van de stam van Simeon: Semuël, de zoon van Ammihud.

21 Van de stam van Benjamin: Elidad, de zoon van Kislon.

22 Van de stam van Dan een leider: Bukki, de zoon van Jogli.

23 Van de zonen van Jozef, van de stam van Manasse een leider: Hanniël, de zoon van Efod.

24 Van de zonen van Jozef, van de stam van Efraïm een leider: Kemuël, de zoon van Siftan.

25 Van de stam van Zebulon een leider: Elizafan, de zoon van Parnach.

26 Van de stam van Issaschar een leider: Paltiël, de zoon van Azzan.

27 Van de stam van Aser een leider: Achihud, de zoon van Selomi.

28 Van de stam van Naftali een leider: Pedaël, de zoon van Ammihud.

29 Dit zijn de mannen aan wie de Heer het bevel gegeven heeft om Kanaän te verloten onder de Israëlieten.

  1. Numeri 34:5 Dat is de Middellandse Zee.

34 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

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:)

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:

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:

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.

And as for the western border, ye shall even have the great sea for a border: this shall be your west border.

And this shall be your north border: from the great sea ye shall point out for you mount Hor:

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:

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.

Ang mga Hangganan ng Canaan

34 Sinabi ng Panginoon kay Moises, “Sabihin mo sa mga Israelita na kung papasok na sila sa Canaan, ito ang mga hangganan ng lupain na kanilang mamanahin:

“Ang hangganan sa timog ay ang ilang ng Zin sa may hangganan ng Edom. Magsisimula ito sa katimugang bahagi ng Dagat na Patay.[a] At liliko ito patimog papunta sa Daang Paahon ng Akrabim, hanggang sa ilang ng Zin, at magpapatuloy sa timog ng Kadesh Barnea. Pagkatapos, didiretso ito sa Hazar Adar hanggang sa Azmon, at liliko papunta sa Lambak ng Egipto at magtatapos sa Dagat ng Mediteraneo.

“Ang hangganan sa kanluran ay ang Dagat ng Mediteraneo.

“Ang hangganan sa hilaga ay magmumula sa Dagat ng Mediteraneo papunta sa Bundok ng Hor, at mula sa Bundok ng Hor papunta sa Lebo Hamat. Magpapatuloy ito sa Zedad, hanggang sa Zifron at magtatapos sa Hazar Enan.

10 “Ang hangganan sa silangan ay magmumula sa Hazar Enan papunta sa Shefam. 11 Pagkatapos, bababa ito papunta sa Ribla, sa bandang silangan ng Ain, at magpapatuloy ito sa mga burol sa silangan ng Lawa ng Galilea.[b] 12 Pagkatapos, bababa ito sa Jordan at magtatapos sa Dagat na Patay.

“Ito ang inyong lupain, at ang mga hangganan nito sa palibot.”

13 Pagkatapos, sinabi ni Moises sa mga Israelita, “Hatiin ninyo ang mga lupaing ito bilang inyong mana sa pamamagitan ng palabunutan. Sinabi ng Panginoon na ibigay ito sa siyam at kalahating lahi, 14-15 Dahil ang lahi nina Reuben, Gad, at ng kalahating lahi ni Manase ay nakatanggap na ng kanilang mana sa bandang silangan ng Jordan malapit sa Jerico.”

16 Sinabi ng Panginoon kay Moises, 17 “Sina Eleazar na pari at Josue na anak ni Nun ang maghahati-hati ng lupain para sa mga tao. 18 At pumili ka ng isang pinuno sa bawat lahi para tulungan sila sa paghahati ng lupain.” 19-28 Ito ang pangalan ng mga pinili:

Lahi Pinuno
JudaCaleb na anak ni Jefune
SimeonShemuel na anak ni Amihud
BenjaminElidad na anak ni Kislon
DanBuki na anak ni Jogli
Manase na anak ni JoseHaniel na anak ni Efod
Efraim na anak ni JoseKemuel na anak ni Siftan
ZebulunElizafan na anak ni Parnac
IsacarPaltiel na anak ni Azan
AsherAhihud na anak ni Shelomi
NaftaliPedahel na anak ni Amihud

29 Sila ang mga pinili ng Panginoon para tumulong sa paghahati-hati ng lupain ng Canaan bilang mana ng mga Israelita.
