34:2 “Give this command to the ·people [L sons/T children] of Israel: ‘You will soon enter Canaan and ·it will be yours. These shall be the borders [L …this is the land that will fall to you as an inheritance, the land of Canaan according to its borders/boundaries]:
34:3 On the south you will get part of the ·Desert [Wilderness] of Zin near the border of Edom. On the east side your southern border will start at the south end of the ·Dead [L Salt] Sea,
34:4 cross south of ·Scorpion Pass [or the Ascent of Akrabbim], and go through the ·Desert [Wilderness] of Zin and south of Kadesh Barnea. Then it will go to Hazar Addar and over to Azmon.
34:5 From Azmon it will go to the ·brook [wadi] of Egypt, and it will end at the ·Mediterranean Sea [L Sea].
34:6 “‘Your western border will be the ·Mediterranean [L Great] Sea.
34:7 “‘Your northern border will begin at the ·Mediterranean [L Great] Sea and ·go [L mark/draw a line] to Mount Hor.
34:8 From Mount Hor ·it will go [L mark/draw a line] to Lebo Hamath, and on to Zedad.
34:9 Then the border will go to Ziphron, and it will end at Hazar Enan. This will be your northern border.
34:10 “‘Your eastern border will begin at Hazar Enan and ·go [L mark/draw a line] to Shepham.
34:11 From Shepham the border will go ·east of [L down to] Ain to Riblah and ·along [L go down to] the hills east of ·Lake [T the Sea of] ·Galilee [L Kinnereth].
34:12 Then the border will go down along the Jordan River and end at the ·Dead [L Salt] Sea. “‘These are the borders around your country.’”
34:13 So Moses gave this command to the Israelites: “This is the land you will ·receive [L inherit]. Throw lots [C perhaps the Urim and Thummim; Ex. 28:30; Lev. 8:8] to divide it among the nine and one-half tribes, because the Lord commanded that it should be theirs.
34:14 The tribes of ·Reuben [L the sons/descendants of Reuben] by their families [clans], ·Gad [L the sons/descendants of Gad] by their families [clans], and ·East [L the half-tribe of] Manasseh have already ·received [L inherited] their land.
34:15 These two and one-half tribes received ·land [L their inheritance] east of the Jordan River, across from Jericho [32:1–42].”
34:17 “These are the names of the men who will ·divide [apportion] the land for inheritance: Eleazar the priest and Joshua son of Nun.
34:18 Also take one leader from each tribe to help ·divide [apportion] the land for inheritance.
34:19 These are the names of the leaders: from the tribe of Judah, Caleb son of Jephunneh;
34:20 from the tribe of ·Simeon [L the sons/descendants of Simeon], Shemuel son of Ammihud;
34:21 from the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad son of Kislon;
34:22 from the tribe of ·Dan [L the sons/descendants of Dan], Bukki son of Jogli;
34:23 from the tribe of ·Manasseh [L the sons/descendants of Manasseh] son of Joseph, Hanniel son of Ephod;
34:24 from the tribe of ·Ephraim [L the sons/descendants of Ephraim] son of Joseph, Kemuel son of Shiphtan;
34:25 from the tribe of ·Zebulun [L the sons/descendants of Zebulun], Elizaphan son of Parnach;
34:26 from the tribe of ·Issachar [L the sons/descendants of Issachar], Paltiel son of Azzan;
34:27 from the tribe of ·Asher [L the sons/descendants of Asher], Ahihud son of Shelomi;
34:28 from the tribe of ·Naphtali [L the sons/descendants of Naphtali], Pedahel son of Ammihud.”
34:29 The Lord commanded these men to ·divide [apportion] for inheritance the land of Canaan among the ·Israelites [L sons/T children of Israel].
