Numbers 34:13-29 ▼

13 So Moses (drawn out) commanded the Israelites (God prevails), “Apportion this land by lot as an inheritance. The LORD {YHWH} has commanded that it be given to the nine and a half tribes.

14 For the tribes of the Reubenites and Gadites, (a troop / fortune) along with the half-tribe of Manasseh (causing to forget), have already received their inheritance.

15 These two and a half tribes have received their inheritance across the Jordan (flowing down) from Jericho (city of palms), toward the sunrise.”

16 Then the LORD {YHWH} said to Moses (drawn out),

17 “These are the names of the men who are to assign the land as an inheritance for you⁺: Eleazar (God has helped) the priest and Joshua (YHWH saves) son of Nun (fish / posterity).

18 Appoint one leader from each tribe to distribute the land.

19 These are their names: Caleb (dog) son of Jephunneh (He will be facing) from the tribe of Judah (praised);

20 Shemuel (his name is El) son of Ammihud (my kinsman is majesty) from the tribe of Simeon (heard);

21 Elidad (my God has loved) son of Chislon (confidence) from the tribe of Benjamin (son of the right hand);

22 Bukki (wasting) son of Jogli (he is exiled), a leader from the tribe of Dan (He has judged);

23 Hanniel (favored of God) son of Ephod, a leader from the tribe of Manasseh (causing to forget) son of Joseph (YHWH has added);

24 Kemuel (raised of God) son of Shiphtan (judicial), a leader from the tribe of Ephraim (doubly fruitful);

25 Eli-zaphan (my God has protected) son of Parnach (delicate), a leader from the tribe of Zebulun (exalted);

26 Paltiel (God delivers) son of Azzan (very strong), a leader from the tribe of Issachar (there is recompense);

27 Ahihud (brother of majesty) son of Shelomi (peaceful), a leader from the tribe of Asher (happy);

28 and Pedahel (ransomed by God) son of Ammihud (my kinsman is majesty), a leader from the tribe of Naphtali (wrestling).”

29 These are the ones whom the LORD {YHWH} commanded to apportion the inheritance to the Israelites (God prevails) in the land of Canaan (lowland).
