1. The Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
2. “Command the children of Israel, and tell them, ‘When you come into the land of Canaan (this is the land that shall fall to you for an inheritance, even the land of Canaan according to its borders),
3. then your south quarter shall be from the wilderness of Zin along by the side of Edom, and your south border shall be from the end of the Salt Sea eastward.
4. Your border shall turn about southward of the ascent of Akrabbim, and pass along to Zin; and it shall pass southward of Kadesh Barnea; and it shall go from there to Hazar Addar, and pass along to Azmon.
5. The border shall turn about from Azmon to the brook of Egypt, and it shall end at the sea.
6. “‘For the western border, you shall have the great sea and its border. This shall be your west border.
7. “‘This shall be your north border: from the great sea you shall mark out for yourselves Mount Hor.
8. From Mount Hor you shall mark out to the entrance of Hamath; and the border shall pass by Zedad.
