34:1  Yahweh said to Moses,
34:2  “Give the Israelites these instructions. When you enter Canaan, the land that will be given to you as your inheritance has these borders:
34:3  “The southern side includes part of the Desert of Zin along the border of Edom. In the east the southern border starts from the end of the Dead Sea
34:4  and turns south of the Akrabbim Pass. It then goes past Zin and ends at Kadesh Barnea. From there it goes to Hazar Addar and on to Azmon.
34:5  From Azmon it turns toward the River of Egypt so that the border ends at the Mediterranean Sea.
34:6  “The western border is the coastline of the Mediterranean Sea.
34:7  “The northern border extends from the Mediterranean Sea to Mount Hor,
34:8  and from Mount Hor to the border of Hamath so that it ends at Zedad.
34:9  From there the border goes to Ziphron and ends at Hazar Enan.
34:10  “The eastern border extends from Hazar Enan to Shepham.
34:11  From Shepham the border goes down to Riblah, east of Ain, and continues along the eastern slope of the Sea of Galilee.
34:12  Then the border goes along the Jordan River so that it ends at the Dead Sea. “This will be your land and the borders around it.”
34:13  Moses commanded the Israelites, “This is the land you will divide by drawing lots. Yahweh has commanded that this land will be given to the nine-and-a-half tribes.
34:14  The households from the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and half of the tribe of Manasseh have already received their land.
34:15  Those two-and-a-half tribes received land east of the Jordan River across from Jericho.”
34:16  Yahweh said to Moses,
34:17  “These are the names of the men who will divide the land for you: the priest Eleazar and Joshua, son of Nun.
34:18  You must also take one leader from each tribe to divide the land.
34:19  These are their names: Caleb, son of Jephunneh, from the tribe of Judah;
34:20  Shemuel, son of Ammihud, from the tribe of Simeon;
34:21  Elidad, son of Kislon, from the tribe of Benjamin;
34:22  Bukki, son of Jogli, the leader of the tribe of Dan;
34:23  Hanniel, son of Ephod, the leader of the tribe of Manasseh;
34:24  Kemuel, son of Shiphtan, the leader of the tribe of Ephraim; (Manasseh and Ephraim are Joseph’s descendants.)
34:25  Elizaphan, son of Parnach, the leader of the tribe of Zebulun;
34:26  Paltiel, son of Azzan, the leader of the tribe of Issachar;
34:27  Ahihud, son of Shelomi, the leader of the tribe of Asher;
34:28  Pedahel, son of Ammihud, the leader of the tribe of Naphtali.”
34:29  These are the men Yahweh commanded to divide Canaan for the Israelites.
