Numbers 34
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
34 And the Lord said to Moses,
2 Command the Israelites, When you come into the land of Canaan (which is the land that shall be yours for an inheritance, the land of Canaan according to its boundaries),
3 Your south side 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.
4 Your boundary shall turn south of the ascent of Akrabbim, and pass on to Zin, and its end shall be south of Kadesh-barnea. Then it shall go on to Hazar-addar and pass on to Azmon.
5 Then the boundary shall turn from Azmon to the Brook of Egypt, and it shall terminate at the [Mediterranean] Sea.
6 For the western boundary you shall have the Great Sea and its coast.
7 And this shall be your north border: from the Great Sea mark out your boundary line to Mount Hor;
8 From Mount Hor you shall mark out your boundary to the entrance of Hamath, and its end shall be at Zedad;
9 Then the northern boundary shall go on to Ziphron, and the end of it shall be at Hazar-enan.
10 You shall mark out your eastern boundary from Hazar-enan to Shepham;
11 The boundary shall go down from Shepham to Riblah on the east side of Ain and shall descend and reach to the shoulder of the Sea of Chinnereth [the Sea of Galilee] on the east;
12 And the boundary shall go down to the Jordan, and the end shall be at the Salt Sea. This shall be your land with its boundaries all around.
13 Moses commanded the Israelites, This is the land you shall inherit by lot, which the Lord has commanded to give to the nine tribes and the half-tribe [of Manasseh],
14 For the tribes of the sons of Reuben and of Gad by their fathers’ houses have received their inheritance, and also the half-tribe of Manasseh.
15 The two and a half tribes have received their inheritance east of the Jordan at Jericho, toward the sunrise.
16 And the Lord said to Moses,
17 These are the men who shall divide the land to you for inheritance: Eleazar the priest and Joshua son of Nun.
18 And [with them] you shall take one head or prince of each tribe to divide the land for inheritance.
19 The names of the men are: Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb son of Jephunneh;
20 Of the tribe of the sons of Simeon, Shemuel son of Ammihud;
21 Of the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad son of Chislon;
22 Of the tribe of the sons of Dan a leader, Bukki son of Jogli;
23 Of the sons of Joseph: of the tribe of the sons of Manasseh a leader, Hanniel son of Ephod;
24 And of the tribe of the sons of Ephraim a leader, Kemuel son of Shiphtan;
25 And of the tribe of the sons of Zebulun a leader, Elizaphan son of Parnach;
26 And of the tribe of the sons of Issachar a leader, Paltiel son of Azzan;
27 And of the tribe of the sons of Asher a leader, Ahihud son of Shelomi;
28 And of the tribe of the sons of Naphtali a leader, Pedahel son of Ammihud.
29 These are the men whom the Lord commanded to divide the inheritance to the Israelites in the land of Canaan.

3 “‘Your southern side will include some of the Desert of Zin(D) along the border of Edom. Your southern boundary will start in the east from the southern end of the Dead Sea,(E) 4 cross south of Scorpion Pass,(F) continue on to Zin and go south of Kadesh Barnea.(G) Then it will go to Hazar Addar and over to Azmon,(H) 5 where it will turn, join the Wadi of Egypt(I) and end at the Mediterranean Sea.
6 “‘Your western boundary will be the coast of the Mediterranean Sea.(J) This will be your boundary on the west.(K)
7 “‘For your northern boundary,(L) run a line from the Mediterranean Sea to Mount Hor(M) 8 and from Mount Hor to Lebo Hamath.(N) Then the boundary will go to Zedad, 9 continue to Ziphron and end at Hazar Enan. This will be your boundary on the north.
10 “‘For your eastern boundary,(O) run a line from Hazar Enan to Shepham. 11 The boundary will go down from Shepham to Riblah(P) on the east side of Ain(Q) and continue along the slopes east of the Sea of Galilee.[a](R) 12 Then the boundary will go down along the Jordan and end at the Dead Sea.
“‘This will be your land, with its boundaries on every side.’”
13 Moses commanded the Israelites: “Assign this land by lot(S) as an inheritance.(T) The Lord has ordered that it be given to the nine and a half tribes, 14 because the families of the tribe of Reuben, the tribe of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance.(U) 15 These two and a half tribes have received their inheritance east of the Jordan across from Jericho, toward the sunrise.”
16 The Lord said to Moses, 17 “These are the names of the men who are to assign the land for you as an inheritance: Eleazar the priest and Joshua(V) son of Nun. 18 And appoint one leader from each tribe to help(W) assign the land.(X) 19 These are their names:(Y)

the leader from the tribe of Ephraim(AE) son of Joseph;
25 Elizaphan son of Parnak,
the leader from the tribe of Zebulun;(AF)

the leader from the tribe of Issachar;
27 Ahihud son of Shelomi,
