NUMBERS 33:55–34:22 Land boundaries defined. Inherit by lot 232
55 “ ‘If, though, YOU will not
drive the inhabitants of the land
away from before YOU, a then
those whom YOU leave of them
will certainly become as pricks
in YOUR eyes and as thorns in
YOUR sides, and they will indeed
harass YOU on the land in which
YOU will be dwelling. b 56 And it

And Jehovah spoke further
to Moses, saying:
2 “Command the sons of Israel,
and you must say to them, ‘YOU
are going into the land of Canaan.
d This is the land that will
fall to YOU by inheritance, e the
land of Canaan according to its
boundaries. f
3 “‘And YOUR south side must
prove to be from the wilderness
of Zin alongside Edom, g and
YOUR south boundary must prove
to be from the extremity of the
Salt Sea h on the east. 4 And
YOUR boundary must change direction
from the south of the
ascent of A·krabbim i and cross
over to Zin, and its termination
must prove to be on the south
of Kadesh-barne·a; j and it must
go out to Hazar-addar k and
pass over to Azmon. 5 And the
boundary must change direction
at Azmon to the torrent valley of
Egypt, l and its termination must
prove to be at the Sea. m
6 “ ‘As for a west boundary,
n it must prove to be for YOU
the Great Sea and the shoreland.
This will become YOUR west
boundary.
7 “ ‘Now this will become YOUR
north boundary: From the Great
Sea YOU will mark out to Mount
Hor o as a boundary for yourselves.
8 From Mount Hor YOU
will mark out the boundary to
the entering in of Hamath, p and
the termination of the boundary
must prove to be at Zedad. q
9 And the boundary must go out

to Ziphron, and its termination
must prove to be Hazar-enan. a
This will become YOUR north
boundary.
10 “‘Then YOU must mark for
yourselves as YOUR boundary on
the east from Hazar-enan to
Shepham. 11 And the boundary
must go down from Shepham
to Riblah on the east of
Ain, and the border must go
down and strike upon the eastern
slope of the sea of Chinnereth.
b 12 And the border must
go down to the Jordan, and its
termination must prove to be the
Salt Sea. c This will become YOUR
land d according to its boundaries
all around.’ ”
13 So Moses commanded the
sons of Israel, saying: “This is
the land that YOU will apportion
to yourselves as a possession by
lot, e just as Jehovah has commanded
to give to the nine and
ahalftribes. f 14 For the tribe
of the sons of the Reuben·ites by
the house of their fathers and the
tribe of the sons of the Gadites
by the house of their fathers have
already taken, and the half tribe
of Ma·nasseh have already taken
their inheritance. g 15 The two
and a half tribes have already
taken their inheritance from the
region of the Jordan by Jeri·cho
eastward toward the sunrising.” h
16 And Jehovah spoke further
to Moses, saying: 17 “These are
the names of the men who will
divide the land to YOU people for
a possession, El·e·azar i the
priest and Joshua the son of
Nun. j 18 And YOU will take one
chieftain out of each tribe to divide
the land for a possession. k
19 And these are the names of
the men: Of the tribe of Judah, l
Caleb the son of Je·phunneh; m
20 andofthetribeofthesons
of Sime·on, n She·muel the son
of Am·mihud; 21 of the tribe
of Benjamin, o E·lidad the son of
Chislon; 22 and of the tribe of
