Numbers 34:1-9 ▼

1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

2 “Instruct the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them: When you will have entered into the land of Canaan, and it has fallen into your possession by lot, it shall be bound by these limits:

3 The southern part shall begin from the wilderness of Sin, which is next to Edom, and it shall have the Sea of Salt as a limit to the east.

4 It shall circle on the south side along the ascent of the Scorpion, by this way crossing into Senna, and passing through, from the south, as far as Kadesh-barnea, from which its confines shall go out to the town called Adar, and extend even to Azmon.

5 And its limits shall go around from Azmon to the Torrent of Egypt, and shall end at the shore of the Great Sea.

6 Then the western region shall begin from the Great Sea, and the same shall be its end.

7 Furthermore, toward the northern region, its limits shall begin from the Great Sea, passing through even to the highest mountain.

8 From there, it limits shall advance into Hamath, as far as the limits of Zedad.

9 And its confines shall go all the way to Ziphron, and to the village of Enan. These shall be the limits on the northern side.
