1Then the LORD said to Moses, | 1The LORD told Moses, |
2“Command the Israelites and say to them: When you enter the land of Canaan, it will be allotted to you as an inheritance with these boundaries: | 2"Issue these orders to the Israelis: 'You're about to enter the land of Canaan. This territory has been apportioned to you as your inheritance: the entire land of Canaan, all the way to its borders.'" |
3Your southern border will extend from the Wilderness of Zin along the border of Edom. On the east, your southern border will run from the end of the Salt Sea, | 3"'To your south is the Wilderness of Zin, bordering Edom. Your southern border is to extend east toward the far end of the Dead Sea, |
4cross south of the Ascent of Akrabbim, continue to Zin, and go south of Kadesh-barnea. Then it will go on to Hazar-addar and proceed to Azmon, | 4then it is to turn southward to the ascent of Akrabbim, cross Zin, and then run south of Kadesh-barnea and proceed from there to Hazar-addar and across to Azmon. |
5where it will turn from Azmon, join the Brook of Egypt, and end at the Sea. | 5Then the border is to turn from Azmon toward the wadi of Egypt and from there to the Mediterranean Sea.'" |
6Your western border will be the coastline of the Great Sea; this will be your boundary on the west. | 6"'The western border is to be the Mediterranean Sea. This is to be the western border.'" |
7Your northern border will run from the Great Sea directly to Mount Hor, | 7"'Your northern border is to extend from the Mediterranean Sea to Mount Hor. |
8and from Mount Hor to Lebo-hamath, then extend to Zedad, | 8From Mount Hor, you are to mark out the entrance to Hammath, with the border running through Zedad, |
9continue to Ziphron, and end at Hazar-enan. This will be your boundary on the north. | 9then through Ziphron, and then to Hazar-enan. This is to be the northern border.'" |
10And your eastern border will run straight from Hazar-enan to Shepham, | 10"'You are to mark the border on the east from Hazar-enan to Shepham. |
11then go down from Shepham to Riblah on the east side of Ain and continue along the slopes east of the Sea of Chinnereth. | 11The border is then to extend from Shepham to Riblah, on the east side of Ain, then to the Sea of Chinnereth on the east. |
12Then the border will go down along the Jordan and end at the Salt Sea. This will be your land, defined by its borders on all sides.” | 12The border is to continue along the Jordan River all the way to the Dead Sea. This is to be your land, as measured by its boundaries.'" |
13So Moses commanded the Israelites, “Apportion this land by lot as an inheritance. The LORD has commanded that it be given to the nine and a half tribes. | 13Moses commanded the Israelis, "You are to inherit this land by lot, just as the LORD commanded to give it to the remaining nine and a half tribes. |
14For the tribes of the Reubenites and Gadites, along with the half-tribe of Manasseh, have already received their inheritance. | 14The tribes of Reuben, Gad, and half the tribe of Manasseh, as defined by their ancestral houses, have received their inheritance. |
15These two and a half tribes have received their inheritance across the Jordan from Jericho, toward the sunrise.” | 15These two and a half tribes received their inheritance this side of the Jordan River, east of Jericho, facing the rising sun." |
16Then the LORD said to Moses, | 16Then the LORD told Moses, |
17“These are the names of the men who are to assign the land as an inheritance for you: Eleazar the priest and Joshua son of Nun. | 17"These are the names of the men who are to divide the land for your inheritance: Eleazar the priest and Nun's son Joshua. |
18Appoint one leader from each tribe to distribute the land. | 18You are to appoint a leader from each tribe to divide the land for inheritance. |
19These are their names: Caleb son of Jephunneh from the tribe of Judah; | 19These are the names of the men: Appoint Jephunneh's son Caleb from the tribe of Judah, |
20Shemuel son of Ammihud from the tribe of Simeon; | 20Ammihud's son Shemuel from the tribe of Simeon, |
21Elidad son of Chislon from the tribe of Benjamin; | 21Chislon's son Elidad from the tribe of Benjamin, |
22Bukki son of Jogli, a leader from the tribe of Dan; | 22and Jogli's son Bukki is to be leader of the tribe of Dan. |
23Hanniel son of Ephod, a leader from the tribe of Manasseh son of Joseph; | 23From the tribe of Joseph, you are to appoint Ephod's son Hanniel to be leader of the half tribe of Manasseh, |
24Kemuel son of Shiphtan, a leader from the tribe of Ephraim; | 24Shiphtan's son Kemuel to be leader of the half tribe of Ephraim, |
25Eli-zaphan son of Parnach, a leader from the tribe of Zebulun; | 25Parnach's son Elizaphan to be leader of the tribe of Zebulun, |
26Paltiel son of Azzan, a leader from the tribe of Issachar; | 26Azzan's son Paltiel to be leader of the tribe of Issachar, |
27Ahihud son of Shelomi, a leader from the tribe of Asher; | 27Shelomi's son Ahihud to be leader of the tribe of Asher, |
28and Pedahel son of Ammihud, a leader from the tribe of Naphtali.” | 28and Ammihud's son Pedahel to be leader of the tribe of Naphtali." |
29These are the ones whom the LORD commanded to apportion the inheritance to the Israelites in the land of Canaan. | 29These are the ones whom the LORD commanded to divide the inheritance of the Israelis in the land of Canaan. |
