1. AND THE Lord said to Moses,
2. Command the Israelites, When you come into the land of Canaan (which is the land that shall be yours for an inheritance, the land of Canaan according to its boundaries),
3. Your south side shall be from the Wilderness of Zin along the side of Edom, and your southern boundary from the end of the Salt [Dead] Sea eastward.
4. Your boundary shall turn south of the ascent of Akrabbim, and pass on to Zin, and its end shall be south of Kadesh-barnea. Then it shall go on to Hazar-addar and pass on to Azmon.
5. Then the boundary shall turn from Azmon to the Brook of Egypt, and it shall terminate at the [Mediterranean] Sea.
6. For the western boundary you shall have the Great Sea and its coast.
7. And this shall be your north border: from the Great Sea mark out your boundary line to Mount Hor;
8. From Mount Hor you shall mark out your boundary to the entrance of Hamath, and its end shall be at Zedad;
9. Then the northern boundary shall go on to Ziphron, and the end of it shall be at Hazar-enan.
