NEW JERUSALEMDOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Yahweh spoke to Moses and said,1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 'Give the Israelites this order. Say: "When you enter the country (Canaan), this will be the countrywhich forms your heritage. This is Canaan as defined by its boundaries:2 Command the children of Israel, and then shalt say to them: When you are entered into the land of Chanaan, and it shall be fallen into your possession by lot, it shall be bounded by these limits:
3 "The southern part of your country wil start from the desert of Zin, on the borders of Edom. Yoursouthern boundary wil start on the east at the end of the Salt Sea.3 The south side shall begin from the wilderness of Sin, which is by Edom: and shall have the most salt sea for its furthest limits eastward:
4 It wil then turn south towards the Ascent of the Scorpions and go by Zin to end in the south atKadesh-Barnea. It wil then run towards Hazar-Addar and pass through Azmon.4 Which limits shall go round on the south side by the ascent of the Scorpion and so into Senna, and reach toward the south as far as Cadesbarne, from whence the frontiers shall go out to the town called Adar, and shall reach as far as Asemona.
5 From Azmon the boundary wil turn towards the Torrent of Egypt and end at the Sea.5 And the limits shall fetch a compass from Asemona to the torrent of Egypt, and shall end in the shore of the great sea.
6 "Your seaboard wil be on the Great Sea; this will be your western boundary.6 And the west side shall begin from the great sea, and the same shall be the end thereof.
7 "Your northern boundary wil be as fol ows: you wil draw a line from the Great Sea to Mount Hor,7 But toward the north side the borders shall begin from the great sea, reaching to the most high mountain,
8 then from Mount Hor you wil draw a line to the Pass of Hamath, and the boundary will end at Zedad.8 From which they shall come to Emath, as far as the borders of Sedada:
9 From there it wil run on to Ziphron and end at Hazar-Enan. This wil be your northern boundary.9 nod the limits shall go as far as Zephrona, and the village of Enan. These shall be the borders on the north side.
10 "You will then draw your eastern boundary from Hazar-Enan to Shepham.10 From thence they shall mark out the bounds towards the east side from the village of Enan unto Sephama.
11 The boundary wil run down from Shepham towards Riblah on the east side of Ain. Further down itwil keep to the eastern shore of the Sea of Chinnereth.11 And from Sephama the bounds shall go down to Rebla over against the fountain of Daphnis: from thence they shall come eastward to the sea of Cenereth,
12 The frontier wil then fol ow the Jordan and end at the Salt Sea. "Such wil be your country with theboundaries surrounding it." '12 And shall reach as far as the Jordan, and at the last shall be closed in by the most salt sea. This shall be your land with its borders round about.
13 Moses then gave the Israelites this order: 'This is the country, where your heritages wil be assignedby lot, and which Yahweh has ordered to be given to the nine tribes and the half-tribe,13 And Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying: This shall be the land which you shall possess by lot, and which the Lord hath commanded to be given to the nine tribes, and to the half tribe.
14 for the tribe of the Reubenites with their families and the tribe of the Gadites with their families havealready received their heritage; the half-tribe of Manasseh has also received its heritage.14 For the tribe of the children of Ruben by their families, and the tribe of the children of Gad according to the number of their kindreds, and half of the tribe of Manasses,
15 These two tribes and the half-tribe have received their heritage on the other side of the Jordan byJericho, to the east, towards the sunrise.'15 That is, two tribes and a half, have received their portion beyond the Jordan over against Jericho at the east side.
16 Yahweh spoke to Moses and said:16 And the Lord said to Moses:
17 'Here are the names of the men who wil divide the country up for you: the priest Eleazar andJoshua son of Nun,17 These are the names of the men, that shall divide the land unto you: Eleazar the priest, and Josue the son of Nun,
18 and you wil take one leader from each tribe to divide the country up into heritages.18 And one prince of every tribe,
19 Here are the names of these men: 'For the tribe of Judah, Caleb son of Jephunneh;19 Whose names are these : Of the tribe of Juda, Caleb the son of Jephone.
20 'for the tribe of the Simeonites, Shemuel son of Ammihud;20 Of the tribe of Simeon, Samuel the son of Ammiud.
21 'for the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad son of Chislon;21 Of the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad the son of Chaselon.
22 'for the tribe of the Danites, the leader Bukki son of Jogli;22 Of the tribe of the children of Dan, Bocci the son of Jogli.
23 'for the sons of Joseph: for the tribe of Manasseh, the leader Hanniel son of Ephod;23 Of the children of Joseph of the tribe of Manasses, Hanniel the son of Ephod.
24 'for the tribe of the Ephraimites, the leader Kemuel son of Shiphtan;24 Of the tribe of Ephraim, Camuel the son of Sephtan.
25 'for the tribe of the Zebulunites, the leader Elizaphan son of Parnach;25 Of the tribe of Zabulon, Elisaphan the son of Pharnach.
26 'for the tribe of the Issacharites, the leader Paltiel son of Azzan;26 Of the tribe of Issachar, Phaltiel the prince, the son of Ozan.
27 'for the tribe of the Asherites, the leader Ahihud son of Shelomi;27 Of the tribe of Aser, Ahiud the son of Salomi.
28 'for the tribe of the Naphtalites, the leader Pedahel son of Ammihud.'28 Of the tribe of Nephtali: Phedael the son of Ammiud.
29 These were the men whom Yahweh ordered to divide Canaan into heritages for the Israelites.29 These are they whom the Lord hath commanded to divide the land of Chanaan to the children of Israel,.
