1 ADONAI told Moshe
1
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2 to give this order to the people of Isra'el: "When you enter the land of Kena'an, it will become your land to pass on as an inheritance, the land of Kena'an as defined by these borders.
2
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:)
3 "Your southern portion will extend from the Tzin Desert close to the border of Edom. The eastern terminus of your southern border is at the end of the Dead Sea.
3
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:
4 From there your border turns, goes south of the 'Akrabbim Ascent and passes on to Tzin. From there it goes south of Kadesh-Barnea, on to Hatzar-Adar, and on to 'Atzmon.
4
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:
5 Then the border turns and goes from 'Atzmon to the Vadi of Egypt and along it to the Sea.
5
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.
6 "Your western border will be the Great Sea.
6
And as for the western border, ye shall even have the great sea for a border: this shall be your west border.
7 "Your northern border will be as follows: from the Great Sea mark a line to Mount Hor,
7
And this shall be your north border: from the great sea ye shall point out for you mount Hor:
8 and from Mount Hor mark a line to the entrance of Hamat. The border goes out to Tz'dad.
8
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:
9 Then the border goes to Zifron and finally to Hatzar-'Einan; this is your northern border.
9
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 "For the eastern border mark your line from Hatzar-'Enan to Sh'fam.
10
And ye shall point out your east border from Hazarenan to Shepham:
11 Then the border goes down from Sh'fam to Rivlah, on the east side of 'Ayin, then down until it hits the slope east of Lake Kinneret.
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 From there it goes down the Yarden River till it flows into the Dead Sea. These will be the borders of your land."
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 Moshe gave this order to the people of Isra'el: "This is the land in which you will receive inheritances by lot, which ADONAI has ordered to give to the nine tribes and the half-tribe.
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 The tribe of the descendants of Re'uven have already received their land for inheritance according to their clans, and so have the descendants of Gad and the half-tribe of M'nasheh.
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 These two-and-a-half tribes have received their inheritance on this side of the Yarden, across from Yericho and eastward, toward the sunrise."
15
The two tribes and the half tribe have received their inheritance on this side Jordan near Jericho eastward, toward the sunrising.
16 ADONAI said to Moshe,
16
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
17 "These are the names of the men who will take possession of the land for you: El'azar the cohen and Y'hoshua the son of Nun.
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 Also appoint one leader from each tribe to take possession of the land.
18
And ye shall take one prince of every tribe, to divide the land by inheritance.
19 The names of these men are: from the tribe of Y'hudah, Kalev the son of Y'funeh;
19
And the names of the men are these: Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh.
