Numbers 34:1-9 ▼

1 The LORD said to Moses,

2 |Give the Israelites these instructions. When you enter Canaan, the land that will be given to you as your inheritance has these borders:

3 |The southern side includes part of the Desert of Zin along the border of Edom. In the east the southern border starts from the end of the Dead Sea

4 and turns south of the Akrabbim Pass. It then goes past Zin and ends at Kadesh Barnea. From there it goes to Hazar Addar and on to Azmon.

5 From Azmon it turns toward the River of Egypt so that the border ends at the Mediterranean Sea.

6 |The western border is the coastline of the Mediterranean Sea.

7 |The northern border extends from the Mediterranean Sea to Mount Hor,

8 and from Mount Hor to the border of Hamath so that it ends at Zedad.

9 From there the border goes to Ziphron and ends at Hazar Enan.
