Then the Lord said to Moses,

2 ` Command the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto them, When ye are coming in unto the land of Canaan -- this the land which falleth to you by inheritance, the land of Canaan, by its borders --

“Tell the people of Israel, ‘When you go into the land of Canaan, this is the land that will be given to you, all the land of Canaan.

3 t hen hath the south quarter been to you from the wilderness of Zin, by the sides of Edom, yea, the south border hath been to you from the extremity of the Salt Sea, eastward;

Your south side will be from the Desert of Zin along the side of Edom. It will go east from the end of the Salt Sea.

4 a nd the border hath turned round to you from the south to the ascent of Akrabbim, and hath passed on to Zin, and its outgoings have been from the south to Kadesh-Barnea, and it hath gone out at Hazar-Addar, and hath passed on to Azmon;

Then the side of your land will turn from the south up to the pass of Akrabbim and on to Zin. Its end will be south of Kadesh-barnea. It will go to Hazaraddar and on to Azmon.

5 a nd the border hath turned round from Azmon to the brook of Egypt, and its outgoings have been at the sea.

Then it will turn from Azmon to the river of Egypt, and will end at the sea.

6 ` As to the west border, even the great sea hath been to you a border; this is to you the west border.

‘The west side of your land will be the shore of the Great Sea.

7 ` And this is to you the north border: from the great sea ye mark out for yourselves mount Hor;

‘Your north side will be from the Great Sea to Mount Hor.

8 f rom mount Hor ye mark out to go in to Hamath, and the outgoings of the border have been to Zedad;

And it will go from Mount Hor to the Lebohamath, and end at Zedad.

9 a nd the border hath gone out to Ziphron, and its outgoings have been at Hazar-Enan; this is to you the north border.

Then it will go to Ziphron and end at Hazer-enan. This will be the north side.

10 ` And ye have marked out for yourselves for the border eastward, from Hazar-Enan to Shepham;

‘The east side of your land will be from Hazer-enan to Shepham,

11 a nd the border hath gone down from Shepham to Riblah, on the east of Ain, and the border hath gone down, and hath smitten against the shoulder of the sea of Chinnereth eastward;

then down from Shepham to Riblah on the east side of Ain. Then it will go down to the hill on the east side of the Sea of Chinnereth.

12 a nd the border hath gone down to the Jordan, and its outgoings have been at the Salt Sea; this is for you the land by its borders round about.'

It will go down to the Jordan and end at the Salt Sea. This will be the sides all around your land.’”

13 A nd Moses commandeth the sons of Israel, saying, `This the land which ye inherit by lot, which Jehovah hath commanded to give to the nine tribes and the half of the tribe;

Moses told the people of Israel, “This is the land you will receive by drawing names, which the Lord has said should be given to the nine and a half-family groups.

14 f or the tribe of the sons of Reuben have received, by the house of their fathers; and the tribe of the children of Gad, by the house of their fathers; and the half of the tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance;

For the sons of Reuben have received their land by their fathers’ houses. The sons of Gad have received theirs by their fathers’ houses. And the half-family group of Manasseh has received their land.
