1. Then the Lord spoke to Moses:
2. “Give these instructions to the Israelites, and tell them: ‘When you enter Canaan, the land that has been assigned to you as an inheritance, the land of Canaan with its borders,
3. your southern border will extend from the wilderness of Zin along the Edomite border, and your southern border will run eastward to the extremity of the Salt Sea,
4. and then the border will turn from the south to the Scorpion Ascent, continue to Zin, and then its direction will be from the south to Kadesh Barnea. Then it will go to Hazar Addar and pass over to Azmon.
5. There the border will turn from Azmon to the Brook of Egypt, and then its direction is to the sea.
6. “‘And for a western border you will have the Great Sea. This will be your western border.
7. “‘And this will be your northern border: From the Great Sea you will draw a line to Mount Hor;
8. from Mount Hor you will draw a line to Lebo Hamath, and the direction of the border will be to Zedad.
9. The border will continue to Ziphron, and its direction will be to Hazar Enan. This will be your northern border.
10. “‘For your eastern border you will draw a line from Hazar Enan to Shepham.
11. The border will run down from Shepham to Riblah, on the east side of Ain, and the border will descend and reach the eastern side of the Sea of Chinnereth.
12. Then the border will continue down the Jordan River and its direction will be to the Salt Sea. This will be your land by its borders that surround it.’”
