Numbers 33:48

They journeyed from the mountains of Abarim and camped in the plains of Moab by the Jordan opposite Jericho.

Numbers 33:49

They camped by the Jordan, from Beth-jeshimoth as far as Abel-shittim in the plains of Moab.

Numbers 33:50

Then the LORD spoke to Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan opposite Jericho, saying,

Numbers 33:51

“Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them, ‘When you cross over the Jordan into the land of Canaan,

Numbers 33:52

then you shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you, and destroy all their figured stones, and destroy all their molten images and demolish all their high places;

Numbers 33:53

and you shall take possession of the land and live in it, for I have given the land to you to possess it.

Numbers 33:54

You shall inherit the land by lot according to your families; to the larger you shall give more inheritance, and to the smaller you shall give less inheritance. Wherever the lot falls to anyone, that shall be his. You shall inherit according to the tribes of your fathers.

Numbers 33:55

But if you do not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you, then it shall come about that those whom you let remain of them will become as pricks in your eyes and as thorns in your sides, and they will trouble you in the land in which you live.

Numbers 34:1

Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

Numbers 34:2

“Command the sons of Israel and say to them, ‘When you enter the land of Canaan, this is the land that shall fall to you as an inheritance, even the land of Canaan according to its borders.

Numbers 34:3

Your southern sector shall extend from the wilderness of Zin along the side of Edom, and your southern border shall extend from the end of the Salt Sea eastward.

Numbers 34:4

Then your border shall turn direction from the south to the ascent of Akrabbim and continue to Zin, and its termination shall be to the south of Kadesh-barnea; and it shall reach Hazaraddar and continue to Azmon.

Numbers 34:5

The border shall turn direction from Azmon to the brook of Egypt, and its termination shall be at the sea.

Numbers 34:6

‘As for the western border, you shall have the Great Sea, that is, its coastline; this shall be your west border.

Numbers 34:7

‘And this shall be your north border: you shall draw your border line from the Great Sea to Mount Hor.

Numbers 34:8

You shall draw a line from Mount Hor to the Lebo-hamath, and the termination of the border shall be at Zedad;

Numbers 34:9

and the border shall proceed to Ziphron, and its termination shall be at Hazar-enan. This shall be your north border.

Numbers 34:11

and the border shall go down from Shepham to Riblah on the east side of Ain; and the border shall go down and reach to the slope on the east side of the Sea of Chinnereth.

Numbers 34:12

And the border shall go down to the Jordan and its termination shall be at the Salt Sea. This shall be your land according to its borders all around.’”

Numbers 34:13

So Moses commanded the sons of Israel, saying, “This is the land that you are to apportion by lot among you as a possession, which the LORD has commanded to give to the nine and a half tribes.

Numbers 34:14

For the tribe of the sons of Reuben have received theirs according to their fathers’ households, and the tribe of the sons of Gad according to their fathers’ households, and the half-tribe of Manasseh have received their possession.

Numbers 34:15

The two and a half tribes have received their possession across the Jordan opposite Jericho, eastward toward the sunrising.”

Numbers 34:16

Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

Numbers 34:17

“These are the names of the men who shall apportion the land to you for inheritance: Eleazar the priest and Joshua the son of Nun.

Numbers 34:18

You shall take one leader of every tribe to apportion the land for inheritance.

Numbers 34:19

These are the names of the men: of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh.

Numbers 34:20

Of the tribe of the sons of Simeon, Samuel the son of Ammihud.

Numbers 34:21

Of the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad the son of Chislon.

Numbers 34:22

Of the tribe of the sons of Dan a leader, Bukki the son of Jogli.

Numbers 34:23

Of the sons of Joseph: of the tribe of the sons of Manasseh a leader, Hanniel the son of Ephod.

Numbers 34:24

Of the tribe of the sons of Ephraim a leader, Kemuel the son of Shiphtan.

Numbers 34:25

Of the tribe of the sons of Zebulun a leader, Elizaphan the son of Parnach.

Numbers 34:26

Of the tribe of the sons of Issachar a leader, Paltiel the son of Azzan.

Numbers 34:27

Of the tribe of the sons of Asher a leader, Ahihud the son of Shelomi.

Numbers 34:28

Of the tribe of the sons of Naphtali a leader, Pedahel the son of Ammihud.”

Numbers 34:29

These are those whom the LORD commanded to apportion the inheritance to the sons of Israel in the land of Canaan.

Numbers 35:1

Now the LORD spoke to Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan opposite Jericho, saying,

Numbers 35:2

“Command the sons of Israel that they give to the Levites from the inheritance of their possession cities to live in; and you shall give to the Levites pasture lands around the cities.

Numbers 35:3

The cities shall be theirs to live in; and their pasture lands shall be for their cattle and for their herds and for all their beasts.

Numbers 35:4

“The pasture lands of the cities which you shall give to the Levites shall extend from the wall of the city outward a thousand cubits around.

Numbers 35:5

You shall also measure outside the city on the east side two thousand cubits, and on the south side two thousand cubits, and on the west side two thousand cubits, and on the north side two thousand cubits, with the city in the center. This shall become theirs as pasture lands for the cities.

Numbers 35:6

The cities which you shall give to the Levites shall be the six cities of refuge, which you shall give for the manslayer to flee to; and in addition to them you shall give forty-two cities.

Numbers 35:7

All the cities which you shall give to the Levites shall be forty-eight cities, together with their pasture lands.

Numbers 35:8

As for the cities which you shall give from the possession of the sons of Israel, you shall take more from the larger and you shall take less from the smaller; each shall give some of his cities to the Levites in proportion to his possession which he inherits.”

Numbers 35:9

Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

Numbers 35:10

“Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them, ‘When you cross the Jordan into the land of Canaan,

Numbers 35:11

then you shall select for yourselves cities to be your cities of refuge, that the manslayer who has killed any person unintentionally may flee there.

Numbers 35:12

The cities shall be to you as a refuge from the avenger, so that the manslayer will not die until he stands before the congregation for trial.

Numbers 35:13

The cities which you are to give shall be your six cities of refuge.

Numbers 35:14

You shall give three cities across the Jordan and three cities in the land of Canaan; they are to be cities of refuge.
