Numbers 34:1-9 ▼

1 The LORD spoke to Moses:

2 Give the Israelites this order: When you enter the land of Canaan, this is the territory that shall fall to you as your heritage—the land of Canaan with its boundaries:

3 Your southern boundary will be at the wilderness of Zin along the border of Edom; on the east your southern boundary will begin at the end of the Salt Sea.

4 Then your boundary will turn south of the Akrabbim Pass and cross Zin. Terminating south of Kadesh-barnea, it extends to Hazar-addar and crosses to Azmon.

5 Then the boundary will turn from Azmon to the Wadi of Egypt and terminate at the Sea.

6 For your western boundary you will have the Great Sea with its coast; this will be your western boundary.

7 This will be your boundary on the north: from the Great Sea you will draw a line to Mount Hor,

8 and draw it from Mount Hor to Lebo-hamath, with the boundary terminating at Zedad.

9 Then the boundary extends to Ziphron and terminates at Hazar-enan. This will be your northern boundary.
