Numbers 34:1-9 ▼

1 Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

2 |Command the sons of Israel and say to them, 'When you enter the land of Canaan, this is the land that shall fall to you as an inheritance, [even the] land of Canaan according to its borders.

3 Your southern sector shall extend from the wilderness of Zin along the side of Edom, and your southern border shall extend from the end of the Salt Sea eastward.

4 Then your border shall turn [direction] from the south to the ascent of Akrabbim and continue to Zin, and its termination shall be to the south of Kadesh-barnea; and it shall reach Hazaraddar and continue to Azmon.

5 The border shall turn [direction] from Azmon to the brook of Egypt, and its termination shall be at the sea.

6 As for the western border, you shall have the Great Sea, that is, [its] coastline; this shall be your west border.

7 And this shall be your north border: you shall draw your [border] line from the Great Sea to Mount Hor.

8 You shall draw a line from Mount Hor to the Lebo-hamath, and the termination of the border shall be at Zedad;

9 and the border shall proceed to Ziphron, and its termination shall be at Hazar-enan. This shall be your north border.
