Numbers 34:1-9 ▼

1 The LORD spoke to Moses,

2 “ Command the Israelites and say to them: When you enter the land of Canaan, it will be allotted to you as an inheritance with these borders:

3 Your southern side will be from the Wilderness of Zin along the boundary of Edom. Your southern border on the east will begin at the east end of the Dead Sea .

4 Your border will turn south of the Ascent of Akrabbim, proceed to Zin, and end south of Kadesh-barnea. It will go to Hazar-addar and proceed to Azmon.

5 The border will turn from Azmon to the Brook of Egypt, where it will end at the Mediterranean Sea.

6 Your western border will be the coastline of the Mediterranean Sea ; this will be your western border.

7 This will be your northern border: From the Mediterranean Sea draw a line to Mount Hor;

8 from Mount Hor draw a line to the entrance of Hamath, and the border will reach Zedad.

9 Then the border will go to Ziphron and end at Hazar-enan. This will be your northern border.
