Num 34:1 And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,
Num 34:2 “Command the children of Yisra’ĕl, and say to them, ‘When you
come into the land of Kena‛an, this is the land which falls to you as an
inheritance, the land of Kena‛an to its boundaries:
Num 34:3 ‘Then your southern border shall be from the Wilderness of Tsin
along the border of Eḏom, and your southern border shall be eastward from
the end of the Salt Sea.
Num 34:4 ‘Then your border shall turn from the southern side of the Ascent
of Aqrabbim, continue to Tsin, and be on the south of Qaḏĕsh Barnĕa, and it
shall go on to Ḥatsar Addar, and continue to Atsmon.
Num 34:5 ‘And the border shall turn from Atsmon to the wadi of Mitsrayim,
and it shall end at the Sea.
Num 34:6 ‘As for the western border, you shall have the Great Sea for a
border, this is your western border.
Num 34:7 ‘And this is your northern border: From the Great Sea you mark
out your borderline to Mount Hor,
Num 34:8 from Mount Hor you mark out your border to the entrance of
Ḥamath, and the edge of the border shall be toward Tseḏaḏ,
Num 34:9 and the border shall proceed to Ziphron, and it shall end at Ḥatsar
Ĕnan. This is your northern border.
Num 34:10 ‘And you shall mark out your eastern border from Ḥatsar Ĕnan to
Shepham,
Num 34:11 and the border shall go down from Shepham to Riḇlah on the
east side of Ayin, and the border shall go down and reach to the eastern side
of the Sea of Kinnereth.
Num 34:12 ‘And the border shall go down along the Yardĕn, and it shall end
at the Salt Sea. This is your land with its surrounding boundaries.’ ”
Num 34:13 And Mosheh commanded the children of Yisra’ĕl, saying, “This
is the land which you inherit by lot, which יהוה has commanded to give to the
nine tribes and to the half-tribe.
Num 34:14 “For the tribe of the children of Re’uḇĕn according to the house
of their fathers, and the tribe of the children of Gaḏ according to the house of
their fathers, have received their inheritance. And the half-tribe of
Menashsheh has received its inheritance.
Num 34:15 “The two tribes and the half-tribe have received their
inheritance beyond the Yardĕn of Yeriḥo eastward, toward the sunrise.”
Num 34:16 And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,
Num 34:17 “These are the names of the men who divide the land among you
as an inheritance: El‛azar the priest, and Yehoshua son of Nun.
Num 34:18 “And take one leader of every tribe to divide the land for the
inheritance.
Num 34:19 “And these are the names of the men. From the tribe of Yehuḏah:
Kalĕḇ son of Yephunneh.
Num 34:20 “And from the tribe of the children of Shim‛on: Shemu’ĕl son of
Ammihuḏ.

Yoḡli.
Num 34:23 “From the sons of Yosĕph: a leader from the tribe of the children
of Menashsheh, Ḥanni’ĕl son of Ĕphoḏ.
Num 34:24 “And a leader from the tribe of the children of Ephrayim:
Qemu’ĕl son of Shiphtan.
Num 34:25 “And a leader from the tribe of the children of Zeḇulun:
