34:1  Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
34:2  “Command the Israelites, ‘When you enter the land of Canaan, this is the land that shall be yours as an inheritance, the land of Canaan according to its boundaries,
34:3  your southern region shall be from the Wilderness of Zin along the side of Edom, and your southern boundary from the end of the Salt (Dead) Sea eastward.
34:4  Your boundary shall turn from the south to the ascent of Akrabbim, and continue on to Zin, and its limit shall be south of Kadesh-barnea. Then it shall go on to Hazar-addar and pass on to Azmon.
34:5  Then the boundary shall turn from Azmon to the Brook of Egypt (Wadi el-arish), and its limit shall be at the [Mediterranean] Sea.
34:6  ‘As the western boundary you shall have the Great [Mediterranean] Sea and its coastline. This shall be your western boundary.
34:7  ‘And this shall be your north border: from the Great [Mediterranean] Sea mark out your boundary line to Mount Hor;
34:8  from Mount Hor you shall mark out your boundary to the entrance of Hamath, and the limit of the border shall be at Zedad;
34:9  then the [northern] boundary shall go on to Ziphron, and its limit shall be at Hazar-enan. This shall be your northern boundary.
34:10  ‘You shall mark out your eastern boundary from Hazar-enan to Shepham;
34:11  the [eastern] boundary shall go down from Shepham to Riblah on the east side of Ain and shall descend and reach to the slope on the east of the Sea of Chinnereth [the Sea of Galilee];
34:12  and the [eastern] boundary shall go down to the Jordan [River], and its limit shall be at the Salt (Dead) Sea. This shall be your land according to its boundaries all around.’”
34:13  So Moses commanded the Israelites, saying, “This is the land you are to inherit by lot, which the Lord has commanded to be given to the nine tribes and the half-tribe [of Manasseh],
34:14  for the tribe of the sons of Reuben and the tribe of the sons of Gad have received their inheritance by their fathers’ households, and the half-tribe of Manasseh have received their possession.
34:15  The two and a half tribes have received their inheritance across the Jordan [River] opposite Jericho, eastward toward the sunrise.”
34:16  Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
34:17  “These are the names of the men who shall divide the land among you as an inheritance: Eleazar the priest and Joshua the son of Nun.
34:18  You shall take one leader from every tribe to divide the land for the inheritance.
34:19  These are the names of the men: From the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh;
34:20  from the tribe of the sons of Simeon, Samuel the son of Ammihud;
34:21  from the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad the son of Chislon;
34:22  from the tribe of the sons of Dan a leader, Bukki the son of Jogli;
34:23  of the sons of Joseph: from the tribe of the sons of Manasseh a leader, Hanniel the son of Ephod;
34:24  from the tribe of the sons of Ephraim a leader, Kemuel the son of Shiphtan;
34:25  from the tribe of the sons of Zebulun a leader, Elizaphan the son of Parnach;
34:26  from the tribe of the sons of Issachar a leader, Paltiel the son of Azzan;
34:27  from the tribe of the sons of Asher a leader, Ahihud the son of Shelomi;
34:28  from the tribe of the sons of Naphtali a leader, Pedahel the son of Ammihud.”
34:29  These are the [twelve] men whom the Lord commanded [to work with Joshua and Eleazar] to divide the inheritance to the sons of Israel in the land of Canaan.
