4. Which limits shall go round on the south side by the ascent of the Scorpion and so into Senna, and reach toward the south as far as Cadesbarne, from whence the frontiers shall go out to the town called Adar, and shall reach as far as Asemona.

5. And the limits shall fetch a compass from Asemona to the torrent of Egypt, and shall end in the shore of the great sea.

6. And the west side shall begin from the great sea, and the same shall be the end thereof.

7. But toward the north side the borders shall begin from the great sea, reaching to the most high mountain,

8. From which they shall come to Emath, as far as the borders of Sedada:

9. nod the limits shall go as far as Zephrona, and the village of Enan. These shall be the borders on the north side.

10. From thence they shall mark out the bounds towards the east side from the village of Enan unto Sephama.

12. And shall reach as far as the Jordan, and at the last shall be closed in by the most salt sea. This shall be your land with its borders round about.
