Numbers 34:2-12

2“Give these instructions to the Israelites: When you come into the land of Canaan, which I am giving you as your special possession, these will be the boundaries.

3The southern portion of your country will extend from the wilderness of Zin, along the edge of Edom. The southern boundary will begin on the east at the Dead Sea.

4It will then run south past Scorpion Pass in the direction of Zin. Its southernmost point will be Kadesh-barnea, from which it will go to Hazar-addar, and on to Azmon.

5From Azmon the boundary will turn toward the Brook of Egypt and end at the Mediterranean Sea.

6“Your western boundary will be the coastline of the Mediterranean Sea.

7“Your northern boundary will begin at the Mediterranean Sea and run east to Mount Hor,

8then to Lebo-hamath, and on through Zedad

9and Ziphron to Hazar-enan. This will be your northern boundary.

10“The eastern boundary will start at Hazar-enan and run south to Shepham,

11then down to Riblah on the east side of Ain. From there the boundary will run down along the eastern edge of the Sea of Galilee,

12and then along the Jordan River to the Dead Sea. These are the boundaries of your land.”
