Numbers 34

1And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,Καὶ ἐλάλησε Κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν, λέγων,

2Charge the children of Israel, and you shall say to them, You are entering into the land of Chanaan: it shall be to you for an inheritance, the land of Chanaan with its boundaries.ἔντειλαι τοῖς υἱοῖς Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ ἐρεῖς πρὸς αὐτοὺς, ὑμεῖς εἰσπορεύεσθε εἰς τὴν γῆν Χαναὰν· αὕτη ἔσται ὑμῖν εἰς κληρονομίαν, γῆ Χαναὰν σὺν τοῖς ὁρίοις αὐτῆς.

3And your southern side shall be from the wilderness of Sin to the border of Edom, and your border southward shall * extend on the side of the salt sea eastward.Καὶ ἔσται ὑμῖν τὸ κλίτος τὸ πρὸς Λίβα ἀπὸ ἐρήμου Σὶν ἕως ἐχόμενον Ἐδὼμ, καὶ ἔσται ὑμῖν τὰ ὅρια πρὸς λίβα ἀπὸ μέρους τῆς θαλάσσης τῆς ἁλυκῆς ἀπὸ ἀνατολῶν.

4And your border shall go round you from the south to the ascent of Acrabin, and shall proceed by Ennac, and the going forth of it shall be southward to Cades Barne, and it shall go forth to the village of Arad, and shall proceed by Asemona.Καὶ κυκλώσει ὑμᾶς τὰ ὅρια ἀπὸ Λιβὸς πρὸς ἀνάβασιν Ἀκραβὶν, καὶ παρελεύσεται Ἐννὰκ, καὶ ἔσται ἡ διέξοδος αὐτοῦ πρὸς Λίβα Κάδης τοῦ Βαρνὴ, καὶ ἐξελεύσεται εἰς ἔπαυλιν Ἀρὰδ, καὶ παρελεύσεται Ἀσεμωνᾶ.

5And the border shall compass from Asemona to the river of Egypt, and the sea shall be the termination.Καὶ κυκλώσει τὰ ὅρια ἀπὸ Ἀσεμωνᾶ χειμάῤῥουν Αἰγύπτου, καὶ ἔσται ἡ διέξοδος ἡ θάλασσα.

6And you shall have your border on the † west, the great sea shall be the boundary: this shall be to you the border on the west.Καὶ τὰ ὅρια τῆς θαλάσσης ἔσται ὑμῖν, ἡ θάλασσα ἡ μεγάλη ὁριεῖ, τοῦτο ἔσται ὑμῖν τὰ ὅρια τῆς θαλάσσης.

7And this shall be your northern border; from the great sea you shall measure to yourselves, by the side of ‡ the mountain.Καὶ τοῦτο ἔσται ὑμῖν τὰ ὅρια πρὸς βοῤῥᾶν· ἀπὸ τῆς θαλάσσης τῆς μεγάλης καταμετρήσετε ὑμῖν αὐτοῖς παρὰ τὸ ὄρος τὸ ὄρος.

8And you shall measure to yourselves the mountain from mount Hor at the entering in to Emath, and the termination of it shall be the coasts of Saradac.Καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ ὄρους τὸ ὄρος καταμετρήσετε αὐτοῖς, εἰσπορευομένων εἰς Ἐμὰθ, καὶ ἔσται ἡ διέξοδος αὐτοῦ τὰ ὅρια Σαραδάκ.

9And the border shall go out to Dephrona, and its termination shall be at Arsenain; this shall be your border from the north.Καὶ ἐξελεύσεται τὰ ὅρια Δεφρωνὰ, καὶ ἔσται ἡ διέξοδος αὐτοῦ Ἀρσεναΐν· τοῦτο ἔσται ὑμῖν ὅρια ἀπὸ Βοῤῥᾶ.

10And you shall measure to yourselves the eastern border from Arsenain to Sepphamar.Καὶ καταβήσεται τὰ ὅρια ἀπὸ Σεπεφαμὰρ Βηλὰ ἀπὸ ἀνατολῶν ἐπὶ πηγὰς, και καταβήσεται τὰ ὅρια Βηλὰ ἐπὶ νώτου θαλάσσης Χενερὲθ ἀπὸ ἀνατολῶν.

11And the border shall go down from Sepphamar to Bela eastward to the fountains, and the border shall go down from Bela behind the sea Chenereth eastward.Καὶ καταβήσεται τὰ ὅρια ἀπὸ Σεπφαμὰρ Βηλὰ ἀπὸ ἀνατολῶν ἐπὶ πηγάς, καὶ καταβήσεται τὰ ὅρια Βηλὰ ἐπὶ νώτου θαλάσσης Χενερὲθ ἀπὸ ἀνατολῶν.

12And the border shall go down to Jordan, and the termination shall be the salt sea; this shall be your land and its borders round about.Καὶ καταβήσεται τὰ ὅρια ἐπὶ τὸν Ἰορδάνην, καὶ ἔσται ἡ διέξοδος θάλασσα ἡ ἁλυκή· αὕτη ἔσται ὑμῖν ἡ γῆ καὶ τὰ ὅρια αὐτῆς κύκλῳ.

13And Moses charged the children of Israel, saying, This is the land which you shall inherit by lot, even as the Lord commanded us to give it to the nine tribes and the half-tribe of Manasse.Καὶ ἐνετείλατο Μωυσῆς τοῖς υἱοῖς Ἰσραὴλ, λέγων, αὕτη ἡ γῆ ἣν κατακληρονομήσετε αὐτὴν μετὰ κλήρου, ὃν τρόπον συνέταξε Κύριος δοῦναι αὐτὴν ταῖς ἐννέα φυλαῖς καὶ τῷ ἡμίσει φυλῆς Μανασσῆ.

14For the tribe of the children of Ruben, and the tribe of the children of Gad have received their inheritance according to their § families; and the half-tribe of Manasse have received their inheritances.Ὅτι ἔλαβε φυλὴ υἱῶν Ῥουβὴν, καὶ φυλὴ υἱῶν Γὰδ κατʼ οἴκους πατριῶν αὐτῶν· καὶ τὸ ἥμισυ φυλῆς Μανασσῆ ἀπέλαβον τοὺς κλήρους αὐτῶν.

15Two tribes and half a tribe have received their inheritance beyond Jordan by Jericho from the south eastwards.Δύο φυλαὶ καὶ ἥμισυ φυλῆς ἔλαβον τοὺς κλήρους αὐτῶν πέραν τοῦ Ἰορδάνου κατὰ Ἱεριχὼ ἀπὸ Νότου κατʼ ἀνατολάς.

16And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,Καὶ ἐλάλησε Κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν, λέγων,

17These are the names of the men who shall ** divide the land to you for an inheritance; Eleazar the priest and Joshua the son of Naue.ταῦτα τὰ ὀνόματα τῶν ἀνδρῶν, οἳ κληρονομήσουσιν ὑμῖν τὴν γῆν· Ἐλεάζαρ ὁ ἱερεὺς καὶ Ἰησοῦς ὁ τοῦ Ναυή.

18And you shall take one ruler from each tribe to divide the land to you by lot.Καὶ ἄρχοντα ἕνα ἐκ φυλῆς λήψεσθε κατακληρονομῆσαι ὑμῖν τὴν γῆν.

19And these are the names of the men; of the tribe of Juda Chaleb the son of Jephonne.Καὶ ταῦτα τὰ ὀνόματα τῶν ἀνδρῶν· τῆς φυλῆς Ἰούδα, Χάλεβ υἱὸς Ἰεφοννή.
