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耶和華對摩西說： 2「你把以下指示告訴以色列人。
「你們進入賜給你們作產業的迦南後，你們四境的疆界如下：
3「南部疆界從荀曠野沿著以東邊界延伸，東起死海的盡頭， 4往南至亞克拉濱坡南面，經荀直到加低斯·巴尼亞南面，再延伸至哈薩·亞達，經押們， 5轉向埃及河，直到地中海。
6「西部以地中海為界，這是你們西部的邊界。
7「北部疆界從地中海開始直到何珥山， 8從何珥山再到哈馬口，經西達達、 9西斐崙直到哈薩·以難。
10「東部疆界從哈薩·以難一直劃到示番， 11從示番往南到亞延東面的利比拉，再往南到基尼烈湖東岸。 12然後沿約旦河南下直到死海。這是你們國土四面的疆界。」
13摩西又對以色列人說：「這就是耶和華吩咐用抽籤的方式分給你們九個半支派的土地。 14呂便支派和迦得支派已經按著家係得到了他們的產業，瑪拿西半個支派也得到了他們的產業。 15這兩個半支派的產業在耶利哥對面的約旦河東岸。」
分地的首領
16耶和華對摩西說： 17「負責給你們分地的是以利亞撒祭司和嫩的兒子約書亞。 18每支派要選出一位首領來協助分地。
19「以下是這些首領的名字：
猶大支派耶孚尼的兒子迦勒，
20西緬支派亞米忽的兒子示姆利，
21便雅憫支派基斯倫的兒子以利達，
22但支派約利的兒子布基，
23約瑟之子瑪拿西支派以弗的兒子漢聶，
24以法蓮支派拾弗但的兒子基姆利，
25西布倫支派帕納的兒子以利撒番，
26以薩迦支派阿散的兒子帕鐵，
27亞設支派示羅米的兒子亞希忽，
28拿弗他利支派亞米忽的兒子比達黑。」
29這些是奉耶和華之命在迦南給以色列人分產業的首領。
