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, that is, the land of Canaan according to its borders. 32Your southern region shall 3extend from the wilderness of Zin along the side of Edom, and your southern border shall 4extend from the end of the Salt Sea 5eastward. 4Then your border shall change direction from the south to the ascent of Akrabbim and 6continue to Zin, and its 7termination shall be to the south of 8Kadesh-barnea; and it shall 9reach Hazaraddar and 10continue to Azmon. 5Then the border shall change direction from Azmon to the brook of Egypt, and its termination shall be at 11the sea.
6‘As for the western border, you shall have the Great Sea, that is, its 12coastline; this shall be your western border.
7‘13And this shall be your northern border: you shall draw your boundary from the Great Sea to Mount Hor. 8You shall draw a boundary from Mount Hor to 14the 15Lebo-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 northern border.
10‘For your eastern border you shall also draw a boundary from Hazar-enan to Shepham, 11and the border shall go down from Shepham to 16Riblah on the east side of Ain; and the border shall go down and reach to the slope on the east side of the Sea of 17Chinnereth. 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 on all sides.’”
