Numbers 34
1 The LORD spoke to Moshe, saying, 2 Command the children of Yisra'el, and tell them, When you come into the land of Kana`an (this is the land that shall fall to you for an inheritance, even the land of Kana`an according to the borders of it), 3 then your south quarter shall be from the wilderness of Tzin along by the side of Edom, and your south border shall be from the end of the Salt Sea eastward; 4 and your border shall turn about southward of the ascent of `Akrabbim, and pass along to Tzin; and the goings out of it shall be southward of Kadesh-Barnea; and it shall go forth to Hatzar-Addar, and pass along to `Atzmon; 5 and the border shall turn about from `Atzmon to the brook of Mitzrayim, and the goings out of it shall be at the sea. 6 For the western border, you shall have the great sea and the border [of it]: this shall be your west border. 7 This shall be your north border: from the great sea you shall mark out for you Mount Hor; 8 from Mount Hor you shall mark out to the entrance of Hamat; and the goings out of the border shall be at Tzedad; 9 and the border shall go forth to Zifron, and the goings out of it shall be at Hatzar-`Enan: this shall be your north border. 10 You shall mark out your east border from Hatzar-`Enan to Shefam; 11 and the border shall go down from Shefam to Rivlah, on the east side of `Ayin; and the border shall go down, and shall reach to the side of the sea of Kinneret eastward; 12 and the border shall go down to the Yarden, and the goings out of it shall be at the Salt Sea. This shall be your land according to the borders of it round about. 13 Moshe commanded the children of Yisra'el, saying, This is the land which you shall inherit by lot, which the LORD has commanded to give to the nine tribes, and to the half-tribe; 14 for the tribe of the children of Re'uven according to their fathers' houses, and the tribe of the children of Gad according to their fathers' houses, have received, and the half-tribe of Menashsheh have received, their inheritance: 15 the two tribes and the half-tribe have received their inheritance beyond the Yarden at Yericho eastward, toward the sunrise.
16 The LORD spoke to Moshe, saying, 17 These are the names of the men who shall divide the land to you for inheritance: El`azar the Kohen, and Yehoshua the son of Nun. 18 You shall take one prince of every tribe, to divide the land for inheritance. 19 These are the names of the men: Of the tribe of Yehudah, Kalev the son of Yefunneh. 20 Of the tribe of the children of Shim`on, Shemu'el the son of `Ammihud. 21 Of the tribe of Binyamin, Elidad the son of Kislon. 22 Of the tribe of the children of Dan a prince, Bukki the son of Yogli. 23 Of the children of Yosef: of the tribe of the children of Menashsheh a prince, Hanni'el the son of Efod. 24 Of the tribe of the children of Efrayim a prince, Kemu'el the son of Shiftan. 25 Of the tribe of the children of Zevulun a prince, Elitzafan the son of Parnakh. 26 Of the tribe of the children of Yissakhar a prince, Palti'el the son of `Azzan. 27 Of the tribe of the children of Asher a prince, Achichud the son of Shelomi. 28 Of the tribe of the children of Naftali a prince, Pedah'el the son of `Ammihud. 29 These are they whom the LORD commanded to divide the inheritance to the children of Yisra'el in the land of Kana`an.
