Numbers 34

vayedabber Adonai el-mosheh lemor

GOD spoke to Moses, saying:

tsav et-bene yisra'el ve'amarta alehem ki-attem ba'im el-ha'arets kena'an zot ha'arets asher tippol lakhem benakhalah erets kena'an ligvuloteha

Instruct the Israelite people and say to them: When you enter the land of Canaan, this is the land that shall fall to you as your portion, the land of Canaan with its various boundaries:

vehayah lakhem pe'at-negev mimmidbar-tsin al-yede edom vehayah lakhem gevul negev miqtseh yam-hammelakh qedemah

Your southern sector shall extend from the wilderness of Zin alongside Edom. Your southern boundary shall start on the east from the tip of the Dead Sea.

venasav lakhem haggevul minnegev lema'aleh aqrabbim ve'avar tsinah (vhyh) [vehayu] totse'otayw minnegev leqadesh barnea veyatsa khatsar-addar ve'avar atsmonah

Your boundary shall then turn to pass south of the ascent of Akrabbim and continue to Zin, and its limits shall be south of Kadesh-barnea, reaching Hazar-addar and continuing to Azmon.

venasav haggevul me'atsmon nakhlah mitsrayim vehayu totse'otayw hayyammah

From Azmon the boundary shall turn toward the Wadi of Egypt and terminate at the Sea.

ugevul yam vehayah lakhem hayyam haggadol ugevul zeh-yihyeh lakhem gevul yam

For the western boundary you shall have the coast of the Great Sea; that shall serve as your western boundary.

vezeh-yihyeh lakhem gevul tsafon min-hayyam haggadol teta'u lakhem hor hahar

This shall be your northern boundary: Draw a line from the Great Sea to Mount Hor;

mehor hahar teta'u levo khamat vehayu totse'ot haggevul tsedadah

from Mount Hor draw a line to Lebo-hamath, and let the boundary reach Zedad.

veyatsa haggevul zifronah vehayu totse'otayw khatsar enan zeh-yihyeh lakhem gevul tsafon

The boundary shall then run to Ziphron and terminate at Hazar-enan. That shall be your northern boundary.

vehitavvitem lakhem ligvul qedemah mekhatsar enan shefamah

For your eastern boundary you shall draw a line from Hazar-enan to Shepham.

veyarad haggevul mishefam harivlah miqqedem la'ayin veyarad haggevul umakhah al-ketef yam-kinneret qedemah

From Shepham the boundary shall descend to Riblah on the east side of Ain; from there the boundary shall continue downward and abut on the eastern slopes of the Sea of Chinnereth.

veyarad haggevul hayyardenah vehayu totse'otayw yam hammelakh zot tihyeh lakhem ha'arets ligvuloteha saviv

The boundary shall then descend along the Jordan and terminate at the Dead Sea. That shall be your land as defined by its boundaries on all sides.

vayetsav mosheh et-bene yisra'el lemor zot ha'arets asher titnakhalu otah begoral asher tsivvah Adonai latet letishat hammattot vakhatsi hammatteh

Moses instructed the Israelites, saying: This is the land you are to receive by lot as your hereditary portion, which GOD has commanded to be given to the nine and a half tribes.

ki laqekhu matteh vene haruveni levet avotam umatteh vene-haggadi levet avotam vakhatsi matteh menasheh laqekhu nakhalatam

For the Reubenite tribe by its ancestral houses, the Gadite tribe by its ancestral houses, and the half-tribe of Manasseh have already received their portions:

shene hammattot vakhatsi hammatteh laqekhu nakhalatam me'ever leyarden yerekho qedemah mizrakhah

those two and a half tribes have received their portions across the Jordan, opposite Jericho, on the east, the orient side.

vayedabber Adonai el-mosheh lemor

GOD spoke to Moses, saying:

elleh shemot ha'anashim asher-yinkhalu lakhem et-ha'arets elazar hakkohen vihoshua bin-nun

These are the names of the men through whom the land shall be apportioned for you: Eleazar the priest and Joshua son of Nun.

venasi ekhad nasi ekhad mimmatteh tiqkhu linkhol et-ha'arets

You shall also take a chieftain from each tribe through whom the land shall be apportioned;

ve'elleh shemot ha'anashim lematteh yehudah kalev ben-yefunneh

and these are their names: From the tribe of Judah: Caleb son of Jephunneh.
