34:2 "Issue these orders to the Israelis: 'You're about to enter the land of Canaan. This territory has been apportioned to you as your inheritance: the entire land of Canaan, all the way to its borders.'"
34:3 "'To your south is the Wilderness of Zin, bordering Edom. Your southern border is to extend east toward the far end of the Dead Sea,
34:4 then it is to turn southward to the ascent of Akrabbim, cross Zin, and then run south of Kadesh-barnea and proceed from there to Hazar-addar and across to Azmon.
34:5 Then the border is to turn from Azmon toward the wadi of Egypt and from there to the Mediterranean Sea.'"
34:6 "'The western border is to be the Mediterranean Sea. This is to be the western border.'"
34:7 "'Your northern border is to extend from the Mediterranean Sea to Mount Hor.
34:8 From Mount Hor, you are to mark out the entrance to Hammath, with the border running through Zedad,
34:9 then through Ziphron, and then to Hazar-enan. This is to be the northern border.'"
34:10 "'You are to mark the border on the east from Hazar-enan to Shepham.
34:11 The border is then to extend from Shepham to Riblah, on the east side of Ain, then to the Sea of Chinnereth on the east.
34:12 The border is to continue along the Jordan River all the way to the Dead Sea. This is to be your land, as measured by its boundaries.'"
34:13 Moses commanded the Israelis, "You are to inherit this land by lot, just as the LORD commanded to give it to the remaining nine and a half tribes.
34:14 The tribes of Reuben, Gad, and half the tribe of Manasseh, as defined by their ancestral houses, have received their inheritance.
34:15 These two and a half tribes received their inheritance this side of the Jordan River, east of Jericho, facing the rising sun."
34:17 "These are the names of the men who are to divide the land for your inheritance: Eleazar the priest and Nun's son Joshua.
34:18 You are to appoint a leader from each tribe to divide the land for inheritance.
34:19 These are the names of the men: Appoint Jephunneh's son Caleb from the tribe of Judah,
34:20 Ammihud's son Shemuel from the tribe of Simeon,
34:21 Chislon's son Elidad from the tribe of Benjamin,
34:22 and Jogli's son Bukki is to be leader of the tribe of Dan.
34:23 From the tribe of Joseph, you are to appoint Ephod's son Hanniel to be leader of the half tribe of Manasseh,
34:24 Shiphtan's son Kemuel to be leader of the half tribe of Ephraim,
34:25 Parnach's son Elizaphan to be leader of the tribe of Zebulun,
34:26 Azzan's son Paltiel to be leader of the tribe of Issachar,
34:27 Shelomi's son Ahihud to be leader of the tribe of Asher,
34:28 and Ammihud's son Pedahel to be leader of the tribe of Naphtali."
34:29 These are the ones whom the LORD commanded to divide the inheritance of the Israelis in the land of Canaan.
