3 Your⁺ southern border will extend from the Wilderness of Zin (flat) along the border of Edom (red). On the east, your⁺ southern border will run from the end of the Salt Sea (the Dead Sea),

4 cross south of the Ascent (ascent of scorpions) of Akrabbim (the Ascent of Scorpions), continue to Zin (flat), and go south of Kadesh-barnea (holy). Then it will go on to Hazar-addar (enclosure of glory) and proceed to Azmon (strong),

5 where it will turn from Azmon (strong), join the Brook of Egypt (land of bondage), and end at the Sea (the Mediterranean Sea).

6 Your⁺ western border will be the coastline of the Great Sea; this will be your⁺ boundary on the west.

7 Your⁺ northern border will run from the Great Sea directly to Mount Hor (mountain),

8 and from Mount Hor (mountain) to Lebo-hamath (fortress), then extend to Zedad (mountain side),

9 continue to Ziphron (fragrance), and end at Hazar-enan (village of fountains). This will be your⁺ boundary on the north.

10 And your⁺ eastern (village of fountains) border will run straight from Hazar-enan to Shepham (bald),

11 then go down from Shepham (bald) to Riblah (fertility) on the east side of Ain (spring) and continue along the slopes east of the Sea of Chinnereth (the Sea of Galilee).

12 Then the border will go down along the Jordan (flowing down) and end at the Salt Sea. This will be your⁺ land, defined by its borders on all sides.”
