1
Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
2
"Command the children of Israel, and say to them: 'When you come into the land of Canaan, this is the land that shall fall to you as an inheritance--the land of Canaan to its boundaries.
3
Your southern border shall be from the Wilderness of Zin along the border of Edom; then your southern border shall extend eastward to the end of the Salt Sea;
4
your border shall turn from the southern side of the Ascent of Akrabbim, continue to Zin, and be on the south of Kadesh Barnea; then it shall go on to Hazar Addar, and continue to Azmon;
5
the border shall turn from Azmon to the Brook of Egypt, and it shall end at the Sea.
6
'As for the western border, you shall have the Great Sea for a border; this shall be your western border.
7
'And this shall be your northern border: From the Great Sea you shall mark out your border line to Mount Hor;
8
from Mount Hor you shall mark out your border to the entrance of Hamath; then the direction of the border shall be toward Zedad;
9
the border shall proceed to Ziphron, and it shall end at Hazar Enan. This shall be your northern border.
