34Verse 1Adonai spoke to Moses [Drawn out], saying,Verse 2“Enjoin the children of Israel [God prevails], and tell them, ‘When you come into the land of Canaan [Humbled] (this is the land that shall fall to you for an inheritance, even the land of Canaan [Humbled] according to its borders),Verse 3then your south quarter shall be from the wilderness of Zin along by the side of Edom [Red], and your south border shall be from the end of the Salt Sea eastward.Verse 4Your border shall turn about southward of the ascent of Akrabbim, and pass along to Zin; and it shall pass southward of Kadesh Barnea [Consecrated Son-inconstant]; and it shall go from there to Hazar Addar, and pass along to Azmon.Verse 5The border shall turn about from Azmon to the brook of Egypt [Abode of slavery], and it shall end at the sea.Verse 6“‘For the western border, you shall have the Great Sea [Mediterranean Sea, Inland Sea] and its border. This shall be your west border.Verse 7“‘This shall be your north border: from the Great Sea [Mediterranean Sea, Inland Sea] you shall mark out for yourselves Mount Hor.Verse 8From Mount Hor you shall mark out to the entrance of Hamath; and the border shall pass by Zedad.Verse 9Then the border shall go to Ziphron, and it shall end at Hazar Enan. This shall be your north border.Verse 10“‘You shall mark out your east border from Hazar Enan to Shepham.Verse 11The border shall go down from Shepham to Riblah, on the east side of Ain. The border shall go down, and shall reach to the side of the sea of Chinnereth eastward.Verse 12The border shall go down to the Jordan [Descender], and end at the Salt Sea. This shall be your land according to its borders around it.’”Verse 13Moses [Drawn out] enjoined the children of Israel [God prevails], saying, “This is the land which you shall inherit by lot, which Adonai has enjoined to give to the nine tribes, and to the half-tribe;Verse 14for the tribe of the children of Reuben [See, a son!] according to their fathers’ houses, and the tribe of the children of Gad [Good fortune] according to their fathers’ houses, have received, and the half-tribe of Manasseh [Causing to forget] have received, their inheritance.Verse 15The two tribes and the half-tribe have received their inheritance beyond the Jordan [Descender] at Jericho [Fragrant, Moon] eastward, toward the sunrise.” (RY:6, LY:4)Verse 16Adonai spoke to Moses [Drawn out], saying,Verse 17“These are the names of the men who shall divide the land to you for inheritance: Eleazar [Help of God] the priest, and Joshua [Yah Salvation] the son of Nun.Verse 18You shall take one prince of every tribe, to divide the land for inheritance.Verse 19These are the names of the men: Of the tribe of Judah [Praised], Caleb [Dog] the son of Jephunneh.Verse 20Of the tribe of the children of Simeon [Hearing], Shemuel the son of Ammihud.Verse 21Of the tribe of Benjamin [Son of right hand, Son of south], Elidad the son of Chislon.Verse 22Of the tribe of the children of Dan [He judged] a prince, Bukki the son of Jogli.Verse 23Of the children of Joseph [May he add]: of the tribe of the children of Manasseh [Causing to forget] a prince, Hanniel the son of Ephod.Verse 24Of the tribe of the children of Ephraim [Fruit] a prince, Kemuel the son of Shiphtan.Verse 25Of the tribe of the children of Zebulun [Living together] a prince, Elizaphan the son of Parnach.Verse 26Of the tribe of the children of Issachar [Hire, Reward] a prince, Paltiel the son of Azzan.Verse 27Of the tribe of the children of Asher [Happy] a prince, Ahihud the son of Shelomi.Verse 28Of the tribe of the children of Naphtali [My wrestling] a prince, Pedahel the son of Ammihud.”Verse 29These are they whom Adonai enjoined to divide the inheritance to the children of Israel [God prevails] in the land of Canaan [Humbled].
