Numbers 34:1-8 ▼

1 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,

2 “Command the sons of Israel, and you have said to them: When you are coming into the land of Canaan—this [is] the land which falls to you by inheritance, the land of Canaan, by its borders—

3 then the south quarter has been to you from the wilderness of Zin, by the sides of Edom, indeed, the south border has been to you from the extremity of the Salt Sea eastward;

4 and the border has turned around to you from the south to the ascent of Akrabbim, and has passed on to Zin, and its outgoings have been from the south to Kadesh-Barnea, and it has gone out at Hazar-Addar, and has passed on to Azmon;

5 and the border has turned around from Azmon to the Brook of Egypt, and its outgoings have been at the sea.

6 As for the west border, even the Great Sea has been a border to you; this is the west border to you.

7 And this is the north border to you: from the Great Sea you mark out for yourselves Mount Hor;

8 from Mount Hor you mark out to go to Hamath, and the outgoings of the border have been to Zedad;
