1 And the Lord said to Moses,
1
4 And Hashem spoke unto Moshe, saying,
2 Give orders to the children of Israel and say to them, When you come into the land of Canaan; (this is the land which is to be your heritage, the land of Canaan inside these limits,)
2
Command the Bnei Yisroel, and say unto them, When ye come into Eretz Kena’an (this is HaAretz that shall fall unto you for a nachalah, even Eretz Kena’an with the borders thereof),
3 Then your south quarter will be from the waste land of Zin by the side of Edom, and your limit on the south will be from the east end of the Salt Sea,
3
Then your southern side shall be from the Midbar Tzin along by the border of Edom, and your southern border shall be from the edge of the Yam HaMelach (Salt Sea, Dead Sea) to the east;
4 And round to the south of the slope of Akrabbim, and on to Zin: and its direction will be south of Kadesh-barnea, and it will go as far as Hazar-addar and on to Azmon:
4
And your border shall turn from the south of Ma’aleh Akrabbim, and pass on to Tzin; and the going forth thereof shall be from the south of Kadesh Barnea, and shall go on to Chatzar Addar, and pass on to Atzmon;
5 And from Azmon it will go round to the stream of Egypt as far as the sea.
5
And the border shall go around from Atzmon unto the Wadi of Mitzrayim, and the goings out of it shall be toward the [Mediterranean] Sea.
6 And for your limit on the west you will have the Great Sea and its edge: this will be your limit on the west.
6
And as for the western border, ye shall even have the Yam HaGadol for a border; this shall be your west border.
7 And your limit on the north will be the line from the Great Sea to Mount Hor:
7
And this shall be your northern border: from the Yam HaGadol ye shall run to Mt Hor;
8 And from Mount Hor the line will go in the direction of Hamath; the farthest point of it will be at Zedad:
8
From Mt Hor ye shall run your border unto the approach to Chamat; and the goings forth of the border shall be toward Tzedad;
9 And the limit will go on to Ziphron, with its farthest point at Hazar-enan: this will be your limit on the north.
9
And the border shall go on to Ziphron, and the goings out of it shall be Chatzar Einan; this shall be your northern border.
10 And on the east, your limit will be marked out from Hazar-enan to Shepham,
10
And ye shall draw a line for you for an eastern border from Chatzar Einan to Shepham;
11 Going down from Shepham to Riblah on the east side of Ain, and on as far as the east side of the sea of Chinnereth:
11
And the border shall go down from Shepham to Rivlah, on the east side of Ain; the border shall descend, and shall reach unto the bank of the Yam Kinneret to the east;
12 And so down to Jordan, stretching to the Salt Sea: all the land inside these limits will be yours.
12
And the border shall go down to the Yarden, and the goings out of it shall be at the Yam HaMelach; this shall be your land with the borders thereof all around.
13 And Moses gave orders to the children of Israel saying, This is the land which is to be your heritage, by the decision of the Lord, which by the Lord's order is to be given to the nine tribes and the half-tribe:
13
And Moshe commanded the Bnei Yisroel, saying, This is the land which ye shall inherit by goral, which Hashem commanded to give unto the nine mattot (tribes), and to the half tribe;
14 For the tribe of the children of Reuben, by their fathers' families, and the tribe of the children of Gad, by their fathers' families, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, have been given their heritage:
14
For the tribe of the Bnei Reuven according to the bais avotam, and the tribe of the Bnei Gad according to the bais avotam and the half tribe of Menasheh have received their nachalah;
15 The two tribes and the half-tribe have been given their heritage on the other side of Jordan at Jericho, on the east looking to the dawn.
15
The two tribes and the half tribe have received their nachalah on the east side of the Yarden near Yericho toward the sunrise.
16 And the Lord said to Moses,
16
And Hashem spoke unto Moshe, saying,
17 These are the names of the men who are to make the distribution of the land among you: Eleazar the priest and Joshua, the son of Nun.
17
These are the shmot of the anashim which shall apportion HaAretz unto you; Eleazar HaKohen, and Yehoshua Ben Nun.
18 And you are to take one chief from every tribe to make the distribution of the land.
18
And ye shall take one nasi of every matteh to possess HaAretz.
