Numbers 34
[1] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, [2] Command the children of Israel,
and say unto them, When ye come into the land of Canaan; (this is the land
that shall fall unto you for an inheritance, even the land of Canaan with the
coasts thereof:) [3] Then your south quarter shall be from the wilderness of
Zin along by the coast of Edom, and your south border shall be the outmost
coast of the salt sea eastward:
[4] And your border shall turn from the south to the ascent of Akrabbim, and
pass on to Zin: and the going forth thereof shall be from the south to
Kadesh-barnea, and shall go on to Hazar-addar, and pass on to Azmon: [5] And
the border shall fetch a compass from Azmon unto the river of Egypt, and the
goings out of it shall be at the sea. [6] And as for the western border, ye
shall even have the great sea for a border: this shall be your west border.
[7] And this shall be your north border: from the great sea ye shall point out
for you mount Hor:
[8] From mount Hor ye shall point out your border unto the entrance of Hamath;
and the goings forth of the border shall be to Zedad: [9] And the border shall
go on to Ziphron, and the goings out of it shall be at Hazar-enan: this shall
be your north border. [10] And ye shall point out your east border from
Hazar-enan to Shepham: [11] And the coast shall go down from Shepham to
Riblah, on the east side of Ain; and the border shall descend, and shall reach
unto the side of the sea of Chinnereth eastward:
[12] And the border shall go down to Jordan, and the goings out of it shall be
at the salt sea: this shall be your land with the coasts thereof round about.
[13] And Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying, This is the land
which ye shall inherit by lot, which the LORD commanded to give unto the nine
tribes, and to the half tribe: [14] For the tribe of the children of Reuben
according to the house of their fathers, and the tribe of the children of Gad
according to the house of their fathers, have received their inheritance; and
half the tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance: [15] The two
tribes and the half tribe have received their inheritance on this side Jordan
near Jericho eastward, toward the sunrising. [16] And the LORD spake unto
Moses, saying, [17] These are the names of the men which shall divide the land
unto you: Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun. [18] And ye shall
take one prince of every tribe, to divide the land by inheritance.
[19] And the names of the men are these: Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son
of Jephunneh.
[20] And of the tribe of the children of Simeon, Shemuel the son of Ammihud.
[21] Of the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad the son of Chislon. [22] And the prince
of the tribe of the children of Dan, Bukki the son of Jogli.
[23] The prince of the children of Joseph, for the tribe of the children of
Manasseh, Hanniel the son of Ephod. [24] And the prince of the tribe of the
children of Ephraim, Kemuel the son of Shiphtan.
[25] And the prince of the tribe of the children of Zebulun, Elizaphan the son
of Parnach.
[26] And the prince of the tribe of the children of Issachar, Paltiel the son
of Azzan.
[27] And the prince of the tribe of the children of Asher, Ahihud the son of
Shelomi.
[28] And the prince of the tribe of the children of Naphtali, Pedahel the son
of Ammihud.
[29] These are they whom the LORD commanded to divide the inheritance unto the
children of Israel in the land of Canaan.
Numbers 35
[1] And the LORD spake unto Moses in the plains of Moab by Jordan near
Jericho, saying,
[2] Command the children of Israel, that they give unto the Levites of the
inheritance of their possession cities to dwell in; and ye shall give also
unto the Levites suburbs for the cities round about them. [3] And the cities
shall they have to dwell in; and the suburbs of them shall be for their
cattle, and for their goods, and for all their beasts. [4] And the suburbs of
the cities, which ye shall give unto the Levites, shall reach from the wall of
the city and outward a thousand cubits round about.
[5] And ye shall measure from without 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 and the city shall
be in the midst: this shall be to them the suburbs of the cities. [6] And
among the cities which ye shall give unto the Levites there shall be six
cities for refuge, which ye shall appoint for the manslayer, that he may flee
thither: and to them ye shall add forty and two cities. [7] So all the cities
which ye shall give to the Levites shall be forty and eight cities: them shall
ye give with their suburbs. [8] And the cities which ye shall give shall be of
the possession of the children of Israel: from them that have many ye shall
give many; but from them that have few ye shall give few: every one shall give
of his cities unto the Levites according to his inheritance which he
inheriteth. [9] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, [10] Speak unto the
children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come over Jordan into the
land of Canaan; [11] Then ye shall appoint you cities to be cities of refuge
for you; that the slayer may flee thither, which killeth any person at
unawares. [12] And they shall be unto you cities for refuge from the avenger;
that the manslayer die not, until he stand before the congregation in
judgment. [13] And of these cities which ye shall give six cities shall ye
have for refuge.
[14] Ye shall give three cities on this side Jordan, and three cities shall ye
give in the land of Canaan, which shall be cities of refuge. [15] These six
cities shall be a refuge, both for the children of Israel, and for the
stranger, and for the sojourner among them: that every one that killeth any
person unawares may flee thither. [16] And if he smite him with an instrument
of iron, so that he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to
death. [17] And if he smite him with throwing a stone, wherewith he may die,
and he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death. [18]
Or if he smite him with an hand weapon of wood, wherewith he may die, and he
die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death. [19] The
revenger of blood himself shall slay the murderer: when he meeteth him, he
shall slay him.
[20] But if he thrust him of hatred, or hurl at him by laying of wait, that he
die;
[21] Or in enmity smite him with his hand, that he die: he that smote him
shall surely be put to death; for he is a murderer: the revenger of blood
shall slay the murderer, when he meeteth him. [22] But if he thrust him
suddenly without enmity, or have cast upon him any thing without laying of
wait,
[23] Or with any stone, wherewith a man may die, seeing him not, and cast it
upon him, that he die, and was not his enemy, neither sought his harm: [24]
Then the congregation shall judge between the slayer and the revenger of blood
according to these judgments: [25] And the congregation shall deliver the
slayer out of the hand of the revenger of blood, and the congregation shall
restore him to the city of his refuge, whither he was fled: and he shall abide
in it unto the death of the high priest, which was anointed with the holy oil.
[26] But if the slayer shall at any time come without the border of the city
of his refuge, whither he was fled; [27] And the revenger of blood find him
without the borders of the city of his refuge, and the revenger of blood kill
the slayer; he shall not be guilty of blood:
[28] Because he should have remained in the city of his refuge until the death
of the high priest: but after the death of the high priest the slayer shall
return into the land of his possession. [29] So these things shall be for a
statute of judgment unto you throughout your generations in all your
dwellings. [30] Whoso killeth any person, the murderer shall be put to death
by the mouth of witnesses: but one witness shall not testify against any
person to cause him to die.
[31] Moreover ye shall take no satisfaction for the life of a murderer, which
is guilty of death: but he shall be surely put to death. [32] And ye shall
take no satisfaction for him that is fled to the city of his refuge, that he
should come again to dwell in the land, until the death of the priest.
[33] So ye shall not pollute the land wherein ye are: for blood it defileth
the land: and the land cannot be cleansed of the blood that is shed therein,
but by the blood of him that shed it. [34] Defile not therefore the land which
ye shall inhabit, wherein I dwell: for I the LORD dwell among the children of
Israel.
Numbers 36
[1] And the chief fathers of the families of the children of Gilead, the son
of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of the sons of Joseph, came
near, and spake before Moses, and before the princes, the chief fathers of the
children of Israel:
[2] And they said, The LORD commanded my lord to give the land for an
inheritance by lot to the children of Israel: and my lord was commanded by the
LORD to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother unto his daughters.
[3] And if they be married to any of the sons of the other tribes of the
children of Israel, then shall their inheritance be taken from the inheritance
of our fathers, and shall be put to the inheritance of the tribe whereunto
they are received: so shall it be taken from the lot of our inheritance.
[4] And when the jubile of the children of Israel shall be, then shall their
inheritance be put unto the inheritance of the tribe whereunto they are
received: so shall their inheritance be taken away from the inheritance of the
tribe of our fathers.
[5] And Moses commanded the children of Israel according to the word of the
LORD, saying, The tribe of the sons of Joseph hath said well. [6] This is the
thing which the LORD doth command concerning the daughters of Zelophehad,
saying, Let them marry to whom they think best; only to the family of the
tribe of their father shall they marry. [7] So shall not the inheritance of
the children of Israel remove from tribe to tribe: for every one of the
children of Israel shall keep himself to the inheritance of the tribe of his
fathers. [8] And every daughter, that possesseth an inheritance in any tribe
of the children of Israel, shall be wife unto one of the family of the tribe
of her father, that the children of Israel may enjoy every man the inheritance
of his fathers.
[9] Neither shall the inheritance remove from one tribe to another tribe; but
every one of the tribes of the children of Israel shall keep himself to his
own inheritance.
[10] Even as the LORD commanded Moses, so did the daughters of Zelophehad:
[11] For Mahlal, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of
Zelophehad, were married unto their father's brothers' sons: [12] And 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.
[13] These are the commandments and the judgments, which the LORD commanded by
the hand of Moses unto the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by Jordan
near Jericho.
