1. And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
2. Command the children of Israel, and say to them, When ye come into the land of Canaan; (this is the land that shall fall to you for an inheritance, even the land of Canaan with its borders.)
3. Then your south quarter shall be from the wilderness of Zin along by the border of Edom, and your south border shall be the outmost coast of the salt sea eastward:
4. And your border shall turn from the south to the ascent of Akrabbim, and pass on to Zin: its limit shall be from the south to Kadesh-barnea, and shall go on to Hazar-addar, and pass on to Azmon:
5. And the border shall form a circuit from Azmon to the river of Egypt, and the limits of it shall be at the sea.
6. And as for the western border, ye shall even have the great sea for a border: this shall be your west border.
