34 |
| 1 | And
the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, |
|
2 | Command the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come
into the land of Canaan; (this is the land that shall fall unto you for an
inheritance, even the land of Canaan with the coasts thereof:) |
| 3 | Then your south quarter shall be from
the wilderness of Zin along by the coast of Edom, and your south border shall
be the outmost coast of the salt sea eastward: |
|
4 | And your border shall turn from the south to the
ascent of Akrabbim, and pass on to Zin: and the going forth thereof shall be
from the south to Kadeshbarnea, and shall go on to Hazaraddar, and pass on to
Azmon: |
| 5 | And the border
shall fetch a compass from Azmon unto the river of Egypt, and the goings out of
it shall be at the sea. |
| 6 |
And as for the western border, ye shall even have the great sea for a border:
this shall be your west border. |
| 7
| And this shall be your north border: from the great sea ye shall point
out for you mount Hor: |
| 8 |
From mount Hor ye shall point out your border unto the entrance of Hamath; and
the goings forth of the border shall be to Zedad: |
|
9 | And the border shall go on to Ziphron, and the
goings out of it shall be at Hazarenan: this shall be your north border. |
| 10 | And ye shall point out
your east border from Hazarenan to Shepham: |
| 11 | And the coast shall go down from Shepham to Riblah, on
the east side of Ain; and the border shall descend, and shall reach unto the
side of the sea of Chinnereth eastward: |
| 12 | And the border shall go down to Jordan, and the goings
out of it shall be at the salt sea: this shall be your land with the coasts
thereof round about. |
| 13 |
And Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying, This is the land which ye
shall inherit by lot, which the LORD commanded to give unto the nine tribes,
and to the half tribe: |
| 14 |
For the tribe of the children of Reuben according to the house of their
fathers, and the tribe of the children of Gad according to the house of their
fathers, have received their inheritance; and half the tribe of Manasseh have
received their inheritance: |
| 15
| The two tribes and the half tribe have received their inheritance on
this side Jordan near Jericho eastward, toward the sunrising. |
| 16 | And the LORD spake unto Moses,
saying, |
| 17 | These are the
names of the men which shall divide the land unto you: Eleazar the priest, and
Joshua the son of Nun. |
| 18 |
And ye shall take one prince of every tribe, to divide the land by
inheritance. |
| 19 | And the
names of the men are these: Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of
Jephunneh. |
| 20 | And of the
tribe of the children of Simeon, Shemuel the son of Ammihud. |
| 21 | Of the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad the
son of Chislon. |
| 22 | And
the prince of the tribe of the children of Dan, Bukki the son of Jogli. |
| 23 | The prince of the
children of Joseph, for the tribe of the children of Manasseh, Hanniel the son
of Ephod. |
| 24 | And the
prince of the tribe of the children of Ephraim, Kemuel the son of Shiphtan. |
| 25 | And the prince of the
tribe of the children of Zebulun, Elizaphan the son of Parnach. |
| 26 | And the prince of the tribe of the
children of Issachar, Paltiel the son of Azzan. |
|
27 | And the prince of the tribe of the children of
Asher, Ahihud the son of Shelomi. |
|
28 | And the prince of the tribe of the children of Naphtali, Pedahel
the son of Ammihud. |
| 29 |
These are they whom the LORD commanded to divide the inheritance unto the
children of Israel in the land of Canaan. |
