1 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
1 God spoke to Moses:
2 Command the Israelites, and say to them: When you enter the land of Canaan (this is the land that shall fall to you for an inheritance, the land of Canaan, defined by its boundaries),
2 "Command the People of Israel. Tell them: When you enter Canaan, these are the borders of the land you are getting as an inheritance:
3 your south sector shall extend from the wilderness of Zin along the side of Edom. Your southern boundary shall begin from the end of the Dead Sea on the east;
3 "Your southern border will take in some of the Wilderness of Zin where it touches Edom. It starts in the east at the Dead Sea,
4 your boundary shall turn south of the ascent of Akrabbim, and cross to Zin, and its outer limit shall be south of Kadesh-barnea; then it shall go on to Hazar-addar, and cross to Azmon;
4 curves south of Scorpion Pass and on to Zin, continues south of Kadesh Barnea, then to Hazar Addar and on to Azmon,
5 the boundary shall turn from Azmon to the Wadi of Egypt, and its termination shall be at the Sea.
5 where it takes a turn to the northwest to the Brook of Egypt and on to the Mediterranean Sea.
6 For the western boundary, you shall have the Great Sea and its coast; this shall be your western boundary.
6 "Your western border will be the Mediterranean Sea.
7 This shall be your northern boundary: from the Great Sea you shall mark out your line to Mount Hor;
7 "Your northern border runs on a line from the Mediterranean Sea to Mount Hor,
8 from Mount Hor you shall mark it out to Lebo-hamath, and the outer limit of the boundary shall be at Zedad;
8 and from Mount Hor to Lebo Hamath, connects to Zedad,
9 then the boundary shall extend to Ziphron, and its end shall be at Hazar-enan; this shall be your northern boundary.
9 continues to Ziphron, and ends at Hazar Enan. This is your northern border.
10 You shall mark out your eastern boundary from Hazar-enan to Shepham;
10 "Your eastern border runs on a line from Hazar Enan to Shepham.
11 and the boundary shall continue down from Shepham to Riblah on the east side of Ain; and the boundary shall go down, and reach the eastern slope of the sea of Chinnereth;
11 The border goes south from Shepham to Riblah to the east of Ain, and continues along the slopes east of the Sea of Galilee.
12 and the boundary shall go down to the Jordan, and its end shall be at the Dead Sea. This shall be your land with its boundaries all around.
12 The border then follows the Jordan River and ends at the Dead Sea. "This is your land with its four borders."
13 Moses commanded the Israelites, saying: This is the land that you shall inherit by lot, which the Lord has commanded to give to the nine tribes and to the half-tribe;
13 Moses then commanded the People of Israel: "This is the land: Divide up the inheritance by lot. God has ordered it to be given to the nine and a half tribes.
14 for the tribe of the Reubenites by their ancestral houses and the tribe of the Gadites by their ancestral houses have taken their inheritance, and also the half-tribe of Manasseh;
14 The tribe of Reuben, the tribe of Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh have already received their inheritance;
15 the two tribes and the half-tribe have taken their inheritance beyond the Jordan at Jericho eastward, toward the sunrise.
15 the two tribes and the half-tribe got their inheritance east of Jordan-Jericho, facing the sunrise."
16 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
16 God spoke to Moses:
17 These are the names of the men who shall apportion the land to you for inheritance: the priest Eleazar and Joshua son of Nun.
17 "These are the men who will be in charge of distributing the inheritance of the land: Eleazar the priest and Joshua son of Nun.
18 You shall take one leader of every tribe to apportion the land for inheritance.
18 Assign one leader from each tribe to help them in distributing the land.
19 These are the names of the men: Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb son of Jephunneh.
19 Assign these: Caleb son of Jephunneh from the tribe of Judah;
20 Of the tribe of the Simeonites, Shemuel son of Ammihud.
20 Shemuel son of Ammihud from the tribe of Simeon;
21 Of the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad son of Chislon.
21 Elidad son of Kislon from the tribe of Benjamin;
22 Of the tribe of the Danites a leader, Bukki son of Jogli.
22 Bukki son of Jogli, leader from the tribe of Dan;
23 Of the Josephites: of the tribe of the Manassites a leader, Hanniel son of Ephod,
23 Hanniel son of Ephod, leader from the tribe of Manasseh son of Joseph;
24 and of the tribe of the Ephraimites a leader, Kemuel son of Shiphtan.
24 Kemuel son of Shiphtan, leader from the tribe of Ephraim son of Joseph;
25 Of the tribe of the Zebulunites a leader, Eli-zaphan son of Parnach.
25 Elizaphan son of Parnach, leader from the tribe of Zebulun;
26 Of the tribe of the Issacharites a leader, Paltiel son of Azzan.
26 Paltiel son of Azzan, leader from the tribe of Issachar;
27 And of the tribe of the Asherites a leader, Ahihud son of Shelomi.
27 Ahihud son of Shelomi, leader from the tribe of Asher;
28 Of the tribe of the Naphtalites a leader, Pedahel son of Ammihud.
28 Pedahel son of Ammihud, leader from the tribe of Naphtali."
29 These were the ones whom the Lord commanded to apportion the inheritance for the Israelites in the land of Canaan.
29 These are the men God commanded to hand out the assignments of land-inheritance to the People of Israel in the country of Canaan.
