Numbers 34:1-29 CEB
[1] The LORD said to Moses: [2] Command the Israelites and say to them: When you enter the land of Canaan, this is the land that will fall to you as an inheritance. The land of Canaan according to its boundaries: [3] Your southern boundary extends from the Zin desert alongside Edom. Your southern border extends from the edge of the Dead Sea on the east. [4] Your border will turn south of the ascent of Akrabbim and cross toward Zin. Its limit will be south of Kadesh-barnea. It will go out to Hazar-addar and cross toward Azmon. [5] The border will then turn from Azmon to the Egypt ravine. Its limit will be at the Mediterranean Sea. [6] Your western border will be the Mediterranean Sea. This will be your western border. [7] This will be your northern border: From the Mediterranean Sea you will mark out your boundary to Mount Hor. [8] From Mount Hor you will mark out your boundary to Lebo-hamath. The limit of the border will be Zedad. [9] The border will go out to Ziphron. Its limit will be Hazar-enan. This will be your northern border. [10] You will mark out your eastern border from Hazar-enan to Shepham. [11] The border will descend from Shepham to Riblah on the east side of Ain. The border will go down and meet the eastern slope of the Galilee Sea. [12] The border will descend to the Jordan. Its limit will be the Dead Sea. This will be your land with its borders all around. [13] Moses commanded the Israelites: This is the land that you will inherit by lot, which the LORD has commanded to give to the nine and a half tribes, [14] because the tribe of Reuben by their households and the tribe of Gad by their households, and half the tribe of Manasseh have taken their inheritance. [15] The two and a half tribes have taken their inheritance across the Jordan at Jericho toward the east. [16] The LORD spoke to Moses: [17] These are the names of the men who will assign the inheritance of the land: Eleazar the priest and Joshua, Nun’s son. [18] You will also take one chief from each tribe to apportion the land. [19] These are the names of the men: from the tribe of Judah, Caleb, Jephunneh’s son; [20] from the tribe of the Simeonites, Shemuel, Ammihud’s son; [21] from the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad, Chislon’s son; [22] from the tribe of the Danites, a chief, Bukki, Jogli’s son; [23] from Joseph’s descendants: of the tribe of the Manassites, a chief, Hanniel, Ephod’s son; [24] and from the tribe of the Ephraimites, a chief, Kemuel, Shiphtan’s son; [25] from the tribe of the Zebulunites, a chief, Elizaphan, Parnach’s son; [26] from the tribe of the Issacharites, a chief, Paltiel, Azzan’s son; [27] from the tribe of the Asherites, a chief, Ahihud, Shelomi’s son; [28] from the tribe of the Naphtalites, a chief, Pedahel, Ammihud’s son. [29] These are the ones whom the LORD commanded to assign the inheritance of the Israelites in the land of Canaan.
