Numbers 34

¹And our Lord spake to Moyses, saying:

²Command the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: When you are entered into the Land of Chanaan, and it shall be fallen unto you by lot in possession, it shall be limited by these borders:

³The southside shall begin from the wilderness Sin, which is beside Edom: and it shall have toward the East the most salt sea for the limits.

⁴The which shall compass the south side by the ascending of the Scorpion, so that they shall pass into Senna, and reach toward the South as far as Cadesbarne, from whence the frontiers shall go forth to the town named Adar, and shall reach as far as Asemona.

⁵And the border shall go round about from Asemona to the Torrent of Ægypt, and shall end in the shore of the great sea.

⁶And the west side shall begin from the great sea, and the same shall be the limit thereof.

⁷Moreover toward the North part the borders shall begin from the great sea, reaching unto the most high mountain,

⁸from the which they shall come unto Emath as far as the borders of Sedada:

⁹and the frontiers shall go as far as Sephorna, and the town Enan. These shall be the borders in the North part.

¹⁰From thence they shall mark out the bounds toward the East side from the Village Enan unto Sephama,

¹¹and from Sephama the bounds shall go down unto Rebla against the fountain Daphnim: from thence they shall come eastward to the sea Cenereth,

¹²and shall reach as far as Jordan, and at the last shall be closed in by the most salt sea. This you shall have for your Land by the bounds thereof round about.

¹³And Moyses commanded the children of Israel, saying: This shall be the Land, which you shall possess by lot, and which our Lord hath commanded to be given to the nine tribes, and to the half tribe.

¹⁴For the tribe of the children of Ruben by their families, and the tribe of the children of Gad according to the number of their kindreds, the half also of the tribe of Manasses,

¹⁵that is, two tribes and an half, have taken their portion beyond Jordan against Jericho at the east side.

¹⁶And our Lord said to Moyses:

¹⁷These are the names of the men, that shall divide the Land unto you: Eleazar the Priest, and Josue the son of Nun,

¹⁸and one Prince of every tribe,

¹⁹whose names are these: Of the tribe of Juda, Caleb son of Jephone.

²⁰Of the tribe of Simeon, Samuel the son of Ammiud.

²¹Of the tribe of Benjamin Elidad the son of Chaselon.

²²Of the tribe of the children of Dan, Bocci the son of Iogli.

²³Of the children of Joseph of the tribe of Manasses, Hanniel the son of Ephod.

²⁴Of the tribe of Ephraim, Camuel the son of Sephthan.

²⁵Of the tribe of Zabulon, Elisaphan the son of Pharnach.

²⁶Of the tribe of Issachar, Duke Phaltiel the son of Ozan.

²⁷Of the tribe of Aser, Ahiud the son of Salomi.

²⁸Of the tribe of Nephthali: Phedael the son of Ammiud.

²⁹These are they whom our Lord commanded to divide the Land of Chanaan to the children of Israel.
