Numbers 34:2-12

2“Give the Israelites these instructions. When you enter Canaan, the land that will be given to you as your inheritance has these borders:

3“The southern side includes part of the Desert of Zin along the border of Edom. In the east the southern border starts from the end of the Dead Sea

4and turns south of the Akrabbim Pass. It then goes past Zin and ends at Kadesh Barnea. From there it goes to Hazar Addar and on to Azmon.

5From Azmon it turns toward the River of Egypt so that the border ends at the Mediterranean Sea.

6“The western border is the coastline of the Mediterranean Sea.

7“The northern border extends from the Mediterranean Sea to Mount Hor,

8and from Mount Hor to the border of Hamath so that it ends at Zedad.

9From there the border goes to Ziphron and ends at Hazar Enan.

10“The eastern border extends from Hazar Enan to Shepham.

11From Shepham the border goes down to Riblah, east of Ain, and continues along the eastern slope of the Sea of Galilee.

12Then the border goes along the Jordan River so that it ends at the Dead Sea. “This will be your land and the borders around it.”
