Numbers 34:2-12

2“Command the sons of Israel and say to them, ‘When you enter 1the land of Canaan, this is the land that shall fall to you as an inheritance, even the land of Canaan according to its borders. 32Your southern 3sector shall 4extend from the wilderness of Zin along the side of Edom, and your southern border shall 5extend from the end of the Salt Sea 6eastward. 4Then your border shall turn direction from the south to the ascent of Akrabbim and 7continue to Zin, and its 8termination shall be to the south of 9Kadesh-barnea; and it shall 10reach Hazaraddar and 11continue to Azmon. 5The border shall turn direction from Azmon to the brook of Egypt, and its termination shall be at 12the sea.

6‘As for the western border, you shall have the Great Sea, that is, its 13coastline; this shall be your west border.

7‘14And this shall be your north border: you shall draw your border line from the Great Sea to Mount Hor. 8You shall draw a line from Mount Hor to 15the 16Lebo-hamath, and the termination of the border shall be at Zedad; 9and the border shall proceed to Ziphron, and its termination shall be at Hazar-enan. This shall be your north border.

10‘For your eastern border you shall also draw a line from Hazar-enan to Shepham, 11and the border shall go down from Shepham to 17Riblah on the east side of Ain; and the border shall go down and reach to the 18slope on the east side of the Sea of 19Chinnereth. 12And the border shall go down to the Jordan and its termination shall be at the Salt Sea. This shall be your land according to its borders all around.’”
