Young's Literal Translation YLT
1 The LORD said to Moses,
1
And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
2 “Command the Israelites and say to them: ‘When you enter Canaan, the land that will be allotted to you as an inheritance is to have these boundaries:
2
`Command the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto them, When ye are coming in unto the land of Canaan -- this [is] the land which falleth to you by inheritance, the land of Canaan, by its borders --
3 “ ‘Your southern side will include some of the Desert of Zin along the border of Edom. Your southern boundary will start in the east from the southern end of the Dead Sea,
3
then hath the south quarter been to you from the wilderness of Zin, by the sides of Edom, yea, the south border hath been to you from the extremity of the Salt Sea, eastward;
4 cross south of Scorpion Pass, continue on to Zin and go south of Kadesh Barnea. Then it will go to Hazar Addar and over to Azmon,
4
and the border hath turned round to you from the south to the ascent of Akrabbim, and hath passed on to Zin, and its outgoings have been from the south to Kadesh-Barnea, and it hath gone out at Hazar-Addar, and hath passed on to Azmon;
5 where it will turn, join the Wadi of Egypt and end at the Mediterranean Sea.
5
and the border hath turned round from Azmon to the brook of Egypt, and its outgoings have been at the sea.
6 “ ‘Your western boundary will be the coast of the Mediterranean Sea. This will be your boundary on the west.
6
`As to the west border, even the great sea hath been to you a border; this is to you the west border.
7 “ ‘For your northern boundary, run a line from the Mediterranean Sea to Mount Hor
7
`And this is to you the north border: from the great sea ye mark out for yourselves mount Hor;
8 and from Mount Hor to Lebo Hamath. Then the boundary will go to Zedad,
8
from mount Hor ye mark out to go in to Hamath, and the outgoings of the border have been to Zedad;
9 continue to Ziphron and end at Hazar Enan. This will be your boundary on the north.
9
and the border hath gone out to Ziphron, and its outgoings have been at Hazar-Enan; this is to you the north border.
10 “ ‘For your eastern boundary, run a line from Hazar Enan to Shepham.
10
`And ye have marked out for yourselves for the border eastward, from Hazar-Enan to Shepham;
11 The boundary will go down from Shepham to Riblah on the east side of Ain and continue along the slopes east of the Sea of Galilee.
11
and the border hath gone down from Shepham to Riblah, on the east of Ain, and the border hath gone down, and hath smitten against the shoulder of the sea of Chinnereth eastward;
12 Then the boundary will go down along the Jordan and end at the Dead Sea. “ ‘This will be your land, with its boundaries on every side.’ ”
12
and the border hath gone down to the Jordan, and its outgoings have been at the Salt Sea; this is for you the land by its borders round about.'
13 Moses commanded the Israelites: “Assign this land by lot as an inheritance. The LORD has ordered that it be given to the nine-and-a-half tribes,
13
And Moses commandeth the sons of Israel, saying, `This [is] the land which ye inherit by lot, which Jehovah hath commanded to give to the nine tribes and the half of the tribe;
14 because the families of the tribe of Reuben, the tribe of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance.
14
for the tribe of the sons of Reuben have received, by the house of their fathers; and the tribe of the children of Gad, by the house of their fathers; and the half of the tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance;
15 These two-and-a-half tribes have received their inheritance east of the Jordan across from Jericho, toward the sunrise.”
15
the two tribes and the half of the tribe have received their inheritance beyond the Jordan, [near] Jericho, eastward, at the [sun]-rising.'
16 The LORD said to Moses,
16
And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
17 “These are the names of the men who are to assign the land for you as an inheritance: Eleazar the priest and Joshua son of Nun.
17
`These [are] the names of the men who give to you the inheritance of the land: Eleazar the priest, and Joshua son of Nun,
18 And appoint one leader from each tribe to help assign the land.
18
and one prince -- one prince -- for a tribe ye do take to give the land by inheritance.
19 These are their names: Caleb son of Jephunneh, from the tribe of Judah;
19
`And these [are] the names of the men: of the tribe of Judah, Caleb son of Jephunneh;
20 Shemuel son of Ammihud, from the tribe of Simeon;
20
and of the tribe of the sons of Simeon, Shemuel son of Aminihud;
21 Elidad son of Kislon, from the tribe of Benjamin;
21
of the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad son of Chislon;
22 Bukki son of Jogli, the leader from the tribe of Dan;
22
and of the tribe of the sons of Dan, the prince Bukki son of Jogli;
23 Hanniel son of Ephod, the leader from the tribe of Manasseh son of Joseph;
23
of the sons of Joseph, of the tribe of the sons of Manasseh, the prince Hanniel son of Ephod;
24 Kemuel son of Shiphtan, the leader from the tribe of Ephraim son of Joseph;
24
and of the tribe of the sons of Ephraim, the prince Kemuel son of Shiphtan;
25 Elizaphan son of Parnak, the leader from the tribe of Zebulun;
25
and of the tribe of the sons of Zebulun, the prince Elizaphan son of Parnach;
26 Paltiel son of Azzan, the leader from the tribe of Issachar;
26
and of the tribe of the sons of Issachar, the prince Paltiel son of Azzan;
27 Ahihud son of Shelomi, the leader from the tribe of Asher;
27
and of the tribe of the sons of Asher, the prince Ahihud son of Shelomi;
28 Pedahel son of Ammihud, the leader from the tribe of Naphtali.”
28
and of the tribe of the sons of Naphtali, the prince Pedahel son of Ammihud.'
29 These are the men the LORD commanded to assign the inheritance to the Israelites in the land of Canaan.
29
These [are] those whom Jehovah hath commanded to give the sons of Israel inheritance in the land of Canaan.
