Numbers 34 · Parashat Masei

And the Lord spoke to Moshe, saying,

Command the children of Yisra᾽el, and say to them, When you come into the land of Kena῾an; (this is the land that shall fall to you for an inheritance, the land of Kena῾an with its borders:)

then the Negev quarter shall be from the wilderness of Żin along by the border of Edom, and your south border shall be the outmost coast of the Salt Sea eastward:

and your border shall turn from the Negev to Ma῾ale-῾aqrabbim, and pass on to Żin: and its limits shall be from the south to Qadesh-barnea, and shall go on to Ḥażar-addar, and pass on to ῾Ażmon:

and the border shall turn about, from ῾Ażmon to the wadi of Miżrayim, and its limits shall be at the Sea.

And as for the western border, you shall have the Great Sea for a border: this shall be your west border.

And this shall be your north border: from the Great Sea you shall mark out your frontier at mount Hor:

from mount Hor you shall mark out your border to the entrance of Ḥamat; and the limits of the border shall be to Żedad:

and the border shall go on to Zifron, and its limits shall be at Ḥażar-῾enan: this shall be your north border.

And you shall point out your east border from Ḥażar-῾enan to Shefam:

and the border shall go down from Shefam to Rivla, on the east side of ῾Ayin; and the border descend, and shall reach the eastward projection of the Sea of Kinneret:

and the border shall go down to the Yarden, and its limits shall be at the Salt Sea: this shall be your land with its borders round about.

And Moshe commanded the children of Yisra᾽el, saying, This is the land which you shall inherit by lot, which the Lord commanded to give to the nine tribes, and the half tribe:

for the tribe of the children of Re᾽uven according to the house of their fathers, and the tribe of the children of Gad according to the house of their fathers, have received their inheritance; and half the tribe of Menashshe have received their inheritance:

the two tribes and the half tribe have received their inheritance on this side of the Yarden near Yereĥo eastward, towards the sunrising.

And the Lord spoke to Moshe, saying,

These are the names of the men who shall share out the land to you: El῾azar the priest, and Yehoshua the son of Nun.

And you shall take one prince of every tribe, to divide the land by inheritance.

And the names of the men are these: Of the tribe of Yehuda, Kalev the son of Yefunne.

And of the tribe of the children of Shim῾on, Shemu᾽el the son of ῾Ammihud.

Of the tribe of Binyamin, Elidad the son of Kislon.

And the prince of the tribe of the children of Dan, Buqqi the son of Yogli.

The prince of the children of Yosef, for the tribe of the children of Menashshe, Ḥanni᾽el the son of Efod.

And the prince of the tribe of the children of Efrayim, Qemu᾽el the son of Shiftan.

And the prince of the tribe of the children of Zevulun, Eliżafan the son of Parnakh.

And the prince of the tribe of the children of Yissakhar, Palti᾽el the son of ῾Azzan.

And the prince of the tribe of the children of Asher, Aĥihud the son of Shelomi.

And the prince of the tribe of the children of Naftali, Pedah᾽el the son of ῾Ammihud.

These are they whom the Lord commanded to divide the inheritance to the children of Yisra᾽el in the land of Kena῾an.
