1Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

1Then the LORD said to Moses,

2"Command the sons of Israel and say to them, 'When you enter the land of Canaan, this is the land that shall fall to you as an inheritance, even the land of Canaan according to its borders.

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:

3'Your southern sector shall extend from the wilderness of Zin along the side of Edom, and your southern border shall extend from the end of the Salt Sea eastward.

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,

4Then your border shall turn direction from the south to the ascent of Akrabbim and continue to Zin, and its termination shall be to the south of Kadesh-barnea; and it shall reach Hazaraddar and continue to Azmon.

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,

5The border shall turn direction from Azmon to the brook of Egypt, and its termination shall be at the sea.

5where it will turn from Azmon, join the Brook of Egypt, and end at the Sea.

6As for the western border, you shall have the Great Sea, that is, its coastline; this shall be your west border.

6Your western border will be the coastline of the Great Sea; this will be your boundary on the west.

7And this shall be your north border: you shall draw your border line from the Great Sea to Mount Hor.

7Your northern border will run from the Great Sea directly to Mount Hor,

8'You shall draw a line from Mount Hor to the Lebo-hamath, and the termination of the border shall be at Zedad;

8and from Mount Hor to Lebo-hamath, then extend to Zedad,

9and the border shall proceed to Ziphron, and its termination shall be at Hazar-enan. This shall be your north border.

9continue to Ziphron, and end at Hazar-enan. This will be your boundary on the north.

10'For your eastern border you shall also draw a line from Hazar-enan to Shepham,

10And your eastern border will run straight from Hazar-enan to Shepham,

11and the border shall go down from Shepham to Riblah on the east side of Ain; and the border shall go down and reach to the slope on the east side of the Sea of Chinnereth.

11then go down from Shepham to Riblah on the east side of Ain and continue along the slopes east of the Sea of Chinnereth.

12'And the border shall go down to the Jordan and its termination shall be at the Salt Sea. This shall be your land according to its borders all around.'"

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.”

13So Moses commanded the sons of Israel, saying, "This is the land that you are to apportion by lot among you as a possession, which the LORD has commanded to give to the nine and a half tribes.

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.

14"For the tribe of the sons of Reuben have received theirs according to their fathers' households, and the tribe of the sons of Gad according to their fathers' households, and the half-tribe of Manasseh have received their possession.

14For the tribes of the Reubenites and Gadites, along with the half-tribe of Manasseh, have already received their inheritance.

15"The two and a half tribes have received their possession across the Jordan opposite Jericho, eastward toward the sunrising."

15These two and a half tribes have received their inheritance across the Jordan from Jericho, toward the sunrise.”

16Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

16Then the LORD said to Moses,

17"These are the names of the men who shall apportion the land to you for inheritance: Eleazar the priest and Joshua the son of Nun.

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.

18"You shall take one leader of every tribe to apportion the land for inheritance.

18Appoint one leader from each tribe to distribute the land.

19"These are the names of the men: of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh.

19These are their names: Caleb son of Jephunneh from the tribe of Judah;

20"Of the tribe of the sons of Simeon, Samuel the son of Ammihud.

20Shemuel son of Ammihud from the tribe of Simeon;

21"Of the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad the son of Chislon.

21Elidad son of Chislon from the tribe of Benjamin;

22"Of the tribe of the sons of Dan a leader, Bukki the son of Jogli.

22Bukki son of Jogli, a leader from the tribe of Dan;

23"Of the sons of Joseph: of the tribe of the sons of Manasseh a leader, Hanniel the son of Ephod.

23Hanniel son of Ephod, a leader from the tribe of Manasseh son of Joseph;

24"Of the tribe of the sons of Ephraim a leader, Kemuel the son of Shiphtan.

24Kemuel son of Shiphtan, a leader from the tribe of Ephraim;

25"Of the tribe of the sons of Zebulun a leader, Elizaphan the son of Parnach.

25Eli-zaphan son of Parnach, a leader from the tribe of Zebulun;

26"Of the tribe of the sons of Issachar a leader, Paltiel the son of Azzan.
