34 Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:

Praecipe filiis Israel, et dices ad eos: Cum ingressi fueritis terram Chanaan, et in possessionem vobis sorte ceciderit, his finibus terminabitur.

Pars meridiana incipiet a solitudine Sin, quae est juxta Edom: et habebit terminos contra orientem mare salsissimum.

Qui circuibunt australem plagam per ascensum Scorpionis, ita ut transeant in Senna, et perveniant a meridie usque ad Cadesbarne, unde egredientur confinia ad villam nomine Adar, et tendent usque ad Asemona.

Ibitque per gyrum terminus ab Asemona usque ad torrentem AEgypti, et maris magni littore finietur.

Plaga autem occidentalis a mari magno incipiet, et ipso fine claudetur.

Porro ad septentrionalem plagam a mari magno termini incipient, pervenientes usque ad montem altissimum,

a quo venient in Emath usque ad terminos Sedada:

ibuntque confinia usque ad Zephrona, et villam Enan. Hi erunt termini in parte aquilonis.

10 Inde metabuntur fines contra orientalem plagam de villa Enan usque Sephama,

11 et de Sephama descendent termini in Rebla contra fontem Daphnim: inde pervenient contra orientem ad mare Cenereth,

12 et tendent usque ad Jordanem, et ad ultimum salsissimo claudentur mari. Hanc habebitis terram per fines suos in circuitu.

13 Praecepitque Moyses filiis Israel, dicens: Haec erit terra, quam possidebitis sorte, et quam jussit Dominus dari novem tribubus, et dimidiae tribui.

14 Tribus enim filiorum Ruben per familias suas, et tribus filiorum Gad juxta cognationum numerum, media quoque tribus Manasse,

15 id est, duae semis tribus, acceperunt partem suam trans Jordanem contra Jericho ad orientalem plagam.

16 Et ait Dominus ad Moysen:

17 Haec sunt nomina virorum qui terram vobis divident, Eleazar sacerdos, et Josue filius Nun,

18 et singuli principes de tribubus singulis,

19 quorum ista sunt vocabula. De tribu Juda, Caleb filius Jephone.

20 De tribu Simeon, Samuel filius Ammiud.

21 De tribu Benjamin, Elidad filius Chaselon.

22 De tribu filiorum Dan, Bocci filius Jogli.

23 Filiorum Joseph de tribu Manasse, Hanniel filius Ephod.

24 De tribu Ephraim, Camuel filius Sephthan.

25 De tribu Zabulon, Elisaphan filius Pharnach.

26 De tribu Issachar, dux Phaltiel filius Ozan.

27 De tribu Aser, Ahiud filius Salomi.

28 De tribu Nephthali, Phedael filius Ammiud.

29 Hi sunt, quibus praecepit Dominus ut dividerent filiis Israel terram Chanaan.

Boundaries of Canaan

34 The Lord said to Moses, “Command the Israelites and say to them: ‘When you enter Canaan,(A) the land that will be allotted to you as an inheritance(B) is to have these boundaries:(C)

“‘Your southern side will include some of the Desert of Zin(D) along the border of Edom. Your southern boundary will start in the east from the southern end of the Dead Sea,(E) cross south of Scorpion Pass,(F) continue on to Zin and go south of Kadesh Barnea.(G) Then it will go to Hazar Addar and over to Azmon,(H) where it will turn, join the Wadi of Egypt(I) and end at the Mediterranean Sea.

“‘Your western boundary will be the coast of the Mediterranean Sea.(J) This will be your boundary on the west.(K)

“‘For your northern boundary,(L) run a line from the Mediterranean Sea to Mount Hor(M) and from Mount Hor to Lebo Hamath.(N) Then the boundary will go to Zedad, continue to Ziphron and end at Hazar Enan. This will be your boundary on the north.

10 “‘For your eastern boundary,(O) run a line from Hazar Enan to Shepham. 11 The boundary will go down from Shepham to Riblah(P) on the east side of Ain(Q) and continue along the slopes east of the Sea of Galilee.[a](R) 12 Then the boundary will go down along the Jordan and end at the Dead Sea.

“‘This will be your land, with its boundaries on every side.’”

13 Moses commanded the Israelites: “Assign this land by lot(S) as an inheritance.(T) The Lord has ordered that it be given to the nine and a half tribes, 14 because the families of the tribe of Reuben, the tribe of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance.(U) 15 These two and a half tribes have received their inheritance east of the Jordan across from Jericho, toward the sunrise.”

16 The Lord said to Moses, 17 “These are the names of the men who are to assign the land for you as an inheritance: Eleazar the priest and Joshua(V) son of Nun. 18 And appoint one leader from each tribe to help(W) assign the land.(X) 19 These are their names:(Y)

Caleb(Z) son of Jephunneh,

from the tribe of Judah;(AA)

20 Shemuel son of Ammihud,

from the tribe of Simeon;(AB)

21 Elidad son of Kislon,

from the tribe of Benjamin;(AC)

22 Bukki son of Jogli,

the leader from the tribe of Dan;

23 Hanniel son of Ephod,

the leader from the tribe of Manasseh(AD) son of Joseph;

24 Kemuel son of Shiphtan,

the leader from the tribe of Ephraim(AE) son of Joseph;

25 Elizaphan son of Parnak,

the leader from the tribe of Zebulun;(AF)

26 Paltiel son of Azzan,

the leader from the tribe of Issachar;

27 Ahihud son of Shelomi,

the leader from the tribe of Asher;(AG)

28 Pedahel son of Ammihud,

the leader from the tribe of Naphtali.”

29 These are the men the Lord commanded to assign the inheritance to the Israelites in the land of Canaan.(AH)
