Numbers Chapter 34
Boundaries of the Land
34:1-2The LORD told Moses to say to Israel,
“When you go into Canaan, 3 your south border will run from the Wilderness of Zin alongside Edom from the end of the Dead Sea eastward. 4 Your border will turn from the south to the ascent of Akrabbim and go on along to Zin. It will end south of Kadesh-barnea, go out to Hazaraddar, and on along to Azmon. 5 The border will turn from Azmon to where the River of Egypt empties into the Mediterranean Sea.
Num 34:1-5
6 “Your west border will be the Mediterranean Sea.
7 “Your north border will stretch from the Mediterranean Sea to Mount Hor, 8 Lebo-hamath, Zedad, 9 Ziphron, and end at Hazar-enan.
10 “Your east border will run from Hazar-enan to Shepham 11 down to Riblah on the east of Ain down to the slopes east of the Sea of Chinnereth. 12 It will go down to the Jordan and on down to the Dead Sea.”
13 Moses told Israel,
“That’s the land you’ll inherit by lot, land the LORD told you to give to the-nine-and-a-half tribes. 14-15 Reuben, Gad, and the Manasseh half-tribe have received their inheritance 15 beyond the Jordan.”
Num 34:6-15
Leaders for Dividing the Land
16 The LORD told Moses,
17 “Eleazar the priest and Joshua son of Nun will divide up the land. 18 Name one leader from each tribe to divide it up:
19 from Judah, Caleb son of Jephunneh;
20 from Simeon, Samuel son of Ammihud;
21 from Benjamin, Elidad son of Chislon;
22 from Dan, Bukki son of Jogli;
23 from Joseph—Manasseh, Hanniel son of Ephod;
24 —Ephraim, Kemuel son of Shiphtan;
25 from Zebulun, Elizaphan son of Parnach;
26 from Issachar, Paltiel son of Azza;
27 from Asher, Ahihud son of Shelomi;
28 from Naphtali, Pedahel son of Ammihud.”
29 The LORD commissioned those men to divide up Canaan for Israel.
