Boundaries of the Land

34 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying, ² “Command the people of Israel, and say to them, When you enter ^(A)the land of Canaan ^(B)(this is the land that shall fall to you for an inheritance, the land of Canaan as defined by its borders), ^3 (C)your south side shall be from the wilderness of Zin alongside Edom, and your southern border shall run from the end of ^(D)the Salt Sea on the east. ⁴ And your border shall turn south of ^(E)the ascent of Akrabbim, and cross to Zin, and its limit shall be south of Kadesh-barnea. Then it shall go on to ^(F)Hazar-addar, and pass along to Azmon. ⁵ And the border shall turn ^(G)from Azmon to ^(H)the Brook of Egypt, and its limit shall be at the sea.

⁶ “For the western border, you shall have the Great Sea and its^[a] coast. This shall be your western border.

⁷ “This shall be your northern border: from the Great Sea you shall draw a line to ^(I)Mount Hor. ⁸ From Mount Hor you shall draw a line ^(J)to Lebo-hamath, and the limit of the border shall be at ^(K)Zedad. ⁹ Then the border shall extend to Ziphron, and its limit shall be at ^(L)Hazar-enan. This shall be your northern border.

¹⁰ “You shall draw a line for your eastern border from Hazar-enan to Shepham. ¹¹ And the border shall go down from Shepham to ^(M)Riblah on the east side of Ain. And the border shall go down and reach to the shoulder of ^(N)the Sea of Chinnereth on the east. ¹² And the border shall go down to the Jordan, and its limit shall be at ^(O)the Salt Sea. This shall be your land as defined by its borders all round.”
