Numbers, starting at chapter 34
{34:1} The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, {34:2} "Command the children
of Israel, and tell them, 'When you come into the land of Canaan (this
is the land that shall fall to you for an inheritance, even the land
of Canaan according to its borders), {34:3} then your south quarter
shall be from the wilderness of Zin along by the side of Edom, and
your south border shall be from the end of the Salt Sea eastward;
{34:4} and your border shall turn about southward of the ascent of
Akrabbim, and pass along to Zin; and the goings out of it shall be
southward of Kadesh Barnea; and it shall go forth to Hazar Addar, and
pass along to Azmon; {34:5} and the border shall turn about from Azmon
to the brook of Egypt, and the goings out of it shall be at the sea.
{34:6} "'For the western border, you shall have the great sea and
its border: this shall be your west border.
{34:7} "'This shall be your north border: from the great sea you
shall mark out for you Mount Hor; {34:8} from Mount Hor you shall mark
out to the entrance of Hamath; and the goings out of the border shall
be at Zedad; {34:9} and the border shall go forth to Ziphron, and the
goings out of it shall be at Hazar Enan: this shall be your north
border.
{34:10} "'You shall mark out your east border from Hazar Enan to
Shepham; {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 shall reach
to the side of the sea of Chinnereth eastward; {34:12} and the border
shall go down to the Jordan, and the goings out of it shall be at the
Salt Sea. This shall be your land according to its borders around it.'"
{34:13} Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying, "This is the
land which you shall inherit by lot, which the LORD has commanded to
give to the nine tribes, and to the half-tribe; {34:14} for the tribe
of the children of Reuben according to their fathers' houses, and the
tribe of the children of Gad according to their fathers' houses, have
received, and the half-tribe of Manasseh have received, their
inheritance: {34:15} the two tribes and the half-tribe have received
their inheritance beyond the Jordan at Jericho eastward, toward the
sunrise."
{34:16} The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, {34:17} "These are the
names of the men who shall divide the land to you for inheritance:
Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun. {34:18} You shall take
one prince of every tribe, to divide the land for inheritance. {34:19}
These are the names of the men: Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son
of Jephunneh. {34:20} Of the tribe of the children of Simeon, Shemuel
the son of Ammihud. {34:21} Of the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad the son
of Chislon. {34:22} Of the tribe of the children of Dan a prince,
Bukki the son of Jogli. {34:23} Of the children of Joseph: of the
tribe of the children of Manasseh a prince, Hanniel the son of Ephod.
{34:24} Of the tribe of the children of Ephraim a prince, Kemuel the
son of Shiphtan. {34:25} Of the tribe of the children of Zebulun a
prince, Elizaphan the son of Parnach. {34:26} Of the tribe of the
children of Issachar a prince, Paltiel the son of Azzan. {34:27} Of
the tribe of the children of Asher a prince, Ahihud the son of
Shelomi. {34:28} Of the tribe of the children of Naphtali a prince,
Pedahel the son of Ammihud." {34:29} These are they whom the LORD
commanded to divide the inheritance to the children of Israel in the
land of Canaan.
{35:1} The LORD spoke to Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan
at Jericho, saying, {35:2} "Command the children of Israel that they
give to the Levites of the inheritance of their possession cities to
dwell in; and you shall give suburbs for the cities around them to the
Levites. {35:3} The cities shall they have to dwell in; and their
suburbs shall be for their livestock, and for their substance, and for
all their animals.
{35:4} "The suburbs of the cities, which you shall give to the
Levites, shall be from the wall of the city and outward one thousand
cubits around it. {35:5} You shall measure outside of the city for the
east side two thousand cubits, and for the south side two thousand
cubits, and for the west side two thousand cubits, and for the north
side two thousand cubits, the city being in the midst. This shall be
to them the suburbs of the cities.
{35:6} "The cities which you shall give to the Levites, they shall
be the six cities of refuge, which you shall give for the manslayer to
flee to: and besides them you shall give forty-two cities. {35:7} All
the cities which you shall give to the Levites shall be forty-eight
cities together with their suburbs. {35:8} Concerning the cities which
you shall give of the possession of the children of Israel, from the
many you shall take many; and from the few you shall take few:
everyone according to his inheritance which he inherits shall give of
his cities to the Levites." {35:9} The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
{35:10} "Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, 'When you
pass over the Jordan into the land of Canaan, {35:11} then you shall
appoint you cities to be cities of refuge for you, that the manslayer
who kills any person unwittingly may flee there. {35:12} The cities
shall be to you for refuge from the avenger, that the manslayer not
die, until he stands before the congregation for judgment. {35:13} The
cities which you shall give shall be for you six cities of refuge.
{35:14} You shall give three cities beyond the Jordan, and you shall
give three cities in the land of Canaan; they shall be cities of
refuge. {35:15} For the children of Israel, and for the stranger and
for the foreigner living among them, shall these six cities be for
refuge; that everyone who kills any person unwittingly may flee there.
{35:16} "'But if he struck him with an instrument of iron, so that
he died, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.
{35:17} If he struck him with a stone in the hand, by which a man may
die, and he died, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put
to death. {35:18} Or if he struck him with a weapon of wood in the
hand, by which a man may die, and he died, he is a murderer: the
murderer shall surely be put to death. {35:19} The avenger of blood
shall himself put the murderer to death: when he meets him, he shall
put him to death. {35:20} If he thrust him of hatred, or hurled at
him, lying in wait, so that he died, {35:21} or in enmity struck him
with his hand, so that he died; he who struck him shall surely be put
to death; he is a murderer: the avenger of blood shall put the
murderer to death, when he meets him.
{35:22} "'But if he thrust him suddenly without enmity, or hurled on
him anything without lying in wait, {35:23} or with any stone, by
which a man may die, not seeing him, and cast it on him, so that he
died, and he was not his enemy, neither sought his harm; {35:24} then
the congregation shall judge between the striker and the avenger of
blood according to these ordinances; {35:25} and the congregation
shall deliver the manslayer out of the hand of the avenger of blood,
and the congregation shall restore him to his city of refuge, where he
was fled: and he shall dwell therein until the death of the high
priest, who was anointed with the holy oil.
{35:26} "'But if the manslayer shall at any time go beyond the
border of his city of refuge, where he flees, {35:27} and the avenger
of blood find him outside of the border of his city of refuge, and the
avenger of blood kill the manslayer; he shall not be guilty of blood,
{35:28} because he should have remained in his city of refuge until
the death of the high priest: but after the death of the high priest
the manslayer shall return into the land of his possession.
{35:29} "'These things shall be for a statute and ordinance to you
throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
{35:30} "'Whoever kills any person, the murderer shall be slain at
the mouth of witnesses: but one witness shall not testify against any
person that he die.
{35:31} "'Moreover you shall take no ransom for the life of a
murderer who is guilty of death; but he shall surely be put to death.
{35:32} "'You shall take no ransom for him who is fled to his city
of refuge, that he may come again to dwell in the land, until the
death of the priest.
{35:33} "'So you shall not pollute the land in which you are: for
blood, it pollutes the land; and no expiation can be made for the land
for the blood that is shed therein, but by the blood of him who shed
it. {35:34} You shall not defile the land which you inhabit, in the
midst of which I dwell: for I, the LORD, dwell in the midst of the
children of Israel.'"
{36:1} The heads of the fathers' households of the family of the
children of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the
families of the sons of Joseph, came near, and spoke before Moses, and
before the princes, the heads of the fathers' households of the
children of Israel: {36:2} and they said, "The LORD commanded my lord
to give the land for inheritance by lot to the children of Israel: and
my lord was commanded by the LORD to give the inheritance of
Zelophehad our brother to his daughters. {36:3} If they are married to
any of the sons of the other tribes of the children of Israel, then
will their inheritance be taken away from the inheritance of our
fathers, and will be added to the inheritance of the tribe whereunto
they shall belong: so will it be taken away from the lot of our
inheritance. {36:4} When the jubilee of the children of Israel shall
be, then will their inheritance be added to the inheritance of the
tribe whereunto they shall belong: so will their inheritance be taken
away from the inheritance of the tribe of our fathers."
{36:5} Moses commanded the children of Israel according to the word
of the LORD, saying, "The tribe of the sons of Joseph speaks right.
{36:6} This is the thing which the LORD does command concerning the
daughters of Zelophehad, saying, Let them be married to whom they
think best; only into the family of the tribe of their father shall
they be married. {36:7} So shall no inheritance of the children of
Israel remove from tribe to tribe; for the children of Israel shall
all keep the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers. {36:8} Every
daughter who possesses an inheritance in any tribe of the children of
Israel shall be wife to one of the family of the tribe of her father,
that the children of Israel may possess every man the inheritance of
his fathers. {36:9} So shall no inheritance remove from one tribe to
another tribe; for the tribes of the children of Israel shall each
keep his own inheritance."
{36:10} The daughters of Zelophehad did as the LORD commanded Moses:
{36:11} for Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah, the
daughters of Zelophehad, were married to their father's brothers'
sons. {36:12} They were married into the families of the sons of
Manasseh the son of Joseph; and their inheritance remained in the
tribe of the family of their father. {36:13} These are the
commandments and the ordinances which the LORD commanded by Moses to
the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho.
