Numbers 34
Easy-to-Read Version, 2006
- 1The LORD spoke to Moses. He said,
- 2“Speak to the Israelites and tell them this: You will soon enter the land of Canaan. I am giving you that land to be your very own. These will be its borders:
- 3On the south, you will get part of the desert of Zin near Edom. Your southern border will start at the south end of the Dead Sea.
- 4It will cross south of Scorpion Pass. It will go through the town of Zin to Kadesh Barnea and then to Hazar Addar, and then it will pass through Azmon.
- 5From Azmon the border will go to the River of Egypt,[1] and it will end at the Mediterranean Sea.
- 6Your western border will be the Mediterranean Sea.
- 7Your northern border will begin at the Mediterranean Sea and go to Mount Hor.
- 8From Mount Hor it will go to Lebo Hamath, and then to Zedad.
- 9Then that border will go to Ziphron and it will end at Hazar Enan. So that will be your northern border.
- 10Your eastern border will begin at Enan and it will go to Shepham.
- 11From Shepham the border will go east of Ain to Riblah. The border will continue along the hills by Lake Galilee.[2]
- 12Then the border will continue along the Jordan River. It will end at the Dead Sea. These are the borders around your country.”
- 13So Moses gave this command to the Israelites, “That is the land that you will get. You will throw lots to divide the land among the nine tribes and half the tribe of Manasseh, as the LORD commanded.
- 14The tribes of Reuben and Gad, and half the tribe of Manasseh have already taken their land.
