Numbers 34:1-7 ▼

1 Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

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.

3 And 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.

4 Then your border shall turn 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.

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

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

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