1. And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
2. `Command the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto them, When ye are coming in unto the land of Canaan--this [is] the land which falleth to you by inheritance, the land of Canaan, by its borders--
3. then hath the south quarter been to you from the wilderness of Zin, by the sides of Edom, yea, the south border hath been to you from the extremity of the Salt Sea, eastward;
4. and the border hath turned round to you from the south to the ascent of Akrabbim, and hath passed on to Zin, and its outgoings have been from the south to Kadesh-Barnea, and it hath gone out at Hazar-Addar, and hath passed on to Azmon;
5. and the border hath turned round from Azmon to the brook of Egypt, and its outgoings have been at the sea.
6. `As to the west border, even the great sea hath been to you a border; this is to you the west border.
7. `And this is to you the north border: from the great sea ye mark out for yourselves mount Hor;
8. from mount Hor ye mark out to go in to Hamath, and the outgoings of the border have been to Zedad;
9. and the border hath gone out to Ziphron, and its outgoings have been at Hazar- Enan; this is to you the north border.
