Boundaries of Canaan
1The Lord said to Moses, 2“Command the Israelites and say to them: ‘When you enter Canaan, the land that will be allotted to you as an inheritance is to have these boundaries:
3“ ‘Your southern side will include some of the Desert of Zin along the border of Edom. Your southern boundary will start in the east from the southern end of the Dead Sea, 4cross south of Scorpion Pass, continue on to Zin and go south of Kadesh Barnea. Then it will go to Hazar Addar and over to Azmon, 5where it will turn, join the Wadi of Egypt and end at the Mediterranean Sea.
6“ ‘Your western boundary will be the coast of the Mediterranean Sea. This will be your boundary on the west.
7“ ‘For your northern boundary, run a line from the Mediterranean Sea to Mount Hor 8and from Mount Hor to Lebo Hamath. Then the boundary will go to Zedad, 9continue to Ziphron and end at Hazar Enan. This will be your boundary on the north.
10“ ‘For your eastern boundary, run a line from Hazar Enan to Shepham. 11The boundary will go down from Shepham to Riblah on the east side of Ain and continue along the slopes east of the Sea of Galilee.34:11 Hebrew Kinnereth 12Then 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.’ ”
13Moses commanded the Israelites: “Assign this land by lot as an inheritance. The Lord has ordered that it be given to the nine-and-a-half tribes, 14because the families of the tribe of Reuben, the tribe of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance. 15These two-and-a-half tribes have received their inheritance east of the Jordan across from Jericho, toward the sunrise.”
16The 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 son of Nun. 18And appoint one leader from each tribe to help assign the land. 19These are their names:
Caleb son of Jephunneh,
from the tribe of Judah;
20Shemuel son of Ammihud,
from the tribe of Simeon;
21Elidad son of Kislon,
from the tribe of Benjamin;
22Bukki son of Jogli,
the leader from the tribe of Dan;
23Hanniel son of Ephod,
the leader from the tribe of Manasseh son of Joseph;
24Kemuel son of Shiphtan,
the leader from the tribe of Ephraim son of Joseph;
25Elizaphan son of Parnak,
the leader from the tribe of Zebulun;
26Paltiel son of Azzan,
the leader from the tribe of Issachar;
27Ahihud son of Shelomi,
the leader from the tribe of Asher;
28Pedahel son of Ammihud,
the leader from the tribe of Naphtali.”
29These are the men the Lord commanded to assign the inheritance to the Israelites in the land of Canaan.
迦南的疆域
1耶和华对摩西说： 2“你把以下指示告诉以色列人。
“你们进入赐给你们作产业的迦南后，你们四境的疆界如下：
3“南部疆界从荀旷野沿着以东边界延伸，东起死海的尽头， 4往南至亚克拉滨坡南面，经荀直到加低斯·巴尼亚南面，再延伸至哈萨·亚达，经押们， 5转向埃及河，直到地中海。
6“西部以地中海为界，这是你们西部的边界。
7“北部疆界从地中海开始直到何珥山， 8从何珥山再到哈马口，经西达达、 9西斐仑直到哈萨·以难。
10“东部疆界从哈萨·以难一直划到示番， 11从示番往南到亚延东面的利比拉，再往南到基尼烈湖东岸。 12然后沿约旦河南下直到死海。这是你们国土四面的疆界。”
13摩西又对以色列人说：“这就是耶和华吩咐用抽签的方式分给你们九个半支派的土地。 14吕便支派和迦得支派已经按着家系得到了他们的产业，玛拿西半个支派也得到了他们的产业。 15这两个半支派的产业在耶利哥对面的约旦河东岸。”
分地的首领
16耶和华对摩西说： 17“负责给你们分地的是以利亚撒祭司和嫩的儿子约书亚。 18每支派要选出一位首领来协助分地。
19“以下是这些首领的名字：
犹大支派耶孚尼的儿子迦勒，
20西缅支派亚米忽的儿子示姆利，
21便雅悯支派基斯伦的儿子以利达，
22但支派约利的儿子布基，
23约瑟之子玛拿西支派以弗的儿子汉聂，
24以法莲支派拾弗但的儿子基姆利，
25西布伦支派帕纳的儿子以利撒番，
26以萨迦支派阿散的儿子帕铁，
27亚设支派示罗米的儿子亚希忽，
28拿弗他利支派亚米忽的儿子比达黑。”
29这些是奉耶和华之命在迦南给以色列人分产业的首领。
