1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
1
The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 Command the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: When you are entered into the land of Chanaan, and it shall be fallen into your possession by lot, it shall be bounded by these limits:
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),
3 The south side shall begin from the wilderness of Sin, which is by Edom: and shall have the most salt sea for its furthest limits eastward:
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;
4 Which limits shall go round on the south side by the ascent of the Scorpion and so into Senna, and reach toward the south as far as Cadesbarne, from whence the frontiers shall go out to the town called Adar, and shall reach as far as Asemona.
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;
5 And the limits shall fetch a compass from Asemona to the torrent of Egypt, and shall end in the shore of the great sea.
5
the boundary shall turn from Azmon to the Wadi of Egypt, and its termination shall be at the Sea.
6 And the west side shall begin from the great sea, and the same shall be the end thereof.
6
For the western boundary, you shall have the Great Sea and its coast; this shall be your western boundary.
7 But toward the north side the borders shall begin from the great sea, reaching to the most high mountain,
7
This shall be your northern boundary: from the Great Sea you shall mark out your line to Mount Hor;
8 From which they shall come to Emath, as far as the borders of Sedada:
8
from Mount Hor you shall mark it out to Lebo-hamath, and the outer limit of the boundary shall be at Zedad;
9 And the limits shall go as far as Zephrona, and the village of Enan. These shall be the borders on the north side.
9
then the boundary shall extend to Ziphron, and its end shall be at Hazar-enan; this shall be your northern boundary.
10 From thence they shall mark out the grounds towards the east side from the village of Enan unto Sephama.
10
You shall mark out your eastern boundary from Hazar-enan to Shepham;
11 And from Sephama the bounds shall go down to Rebla over against the fountain of Daphnis: from thence they shall come eastward to the sea of Cenereth,
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;
12 And shall reach as far as the Jordan, and at the last shall be closed in by the most salt sea. This shall be your land with its borders round about.
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.
13 And Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying: This shall be the land which you shall possess by lot, and which the Lord hath commanded to be given to the nine tribes, and to the half tribe.
