Numbers 34:1-7 ▼

1 The LORD told Moses,

2 |Issue these orders to the Israelis: 'You're about to enter the land of Canaan. This territory has been apportioned to you as your inheritance: the entire land of Canaan, all the way to its borders.'|

3 |'To your south is the Wilderness of Zin, bordering Edom. Your southern border is to extend east toward the far end of the Dead Sea,

4 then it is to turn southward to the ascent of Akrabbim, cross Zin, and then run south of Kadesh-barnea and proceed from there to Hazar-addar and across to Azmon.

5 Then the border is to turn from Azmon toward the wadi of Egypt and from there to the Mediterranean Sea.'|

6 |'The western border is to be the Mediterranean Sea. This is to be the western border.'|

7 |'Your northern border is to extend from the Mediterranean Sea to Mount Hor.
