1. And Hashem spoke unto Moshe, saying,
2. Command the Bnei Yisroel, and say unto them, When ye come into Eretz Kena'an (this is HaAretz that shall fall unto you for a nachalah, even Eretz Kena'an with the borders thereof),
3. Then your southern side shall be from the Midbar Tzin along by the border of Edom, and your southern border shall be from the edge of the Yam HaMelach (Salt Sea, Dead Sea) to the east;
4. And your border shall turn from the south of Ma'aleh Akrabbim, and pass on to Tzin; and the going forth thereof shall be from the south of Kadesh Barnea, and shall go on to Chatzar Addar, and pass on to Atzmon;
5. And the border shall go around from Atzmon unto the Wadi of Mitzrayim, and the goings out of it shall be toward the [Mediterranean] Sea.
6. And as for the western border, ye shall even have the Yam HaGadol for a border; this shall be your west border.
7. And this shall be your northern border: from the Yam HaGadol ye shall run to Mt Hor;
8. From Mt Hor ye shall run your border unto the approach to Chamat; and the goings forth of the border shall be toward Tzedad;
9. And the border shall go on to Ziphron, and the goings out of it shall be Chatzar Einan; this shall be your northern border.
10. And ye shall draw a line for you for an eastern border from Chatzar Einan to Shepham;
11. And the border shall go down from Shepham to Rivlah, on the east side of Ain; the border shall descend, and shall reach unto the bank of the Yam Kinneret to the east;
