1. The Lord said to Moses,
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
4. and 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.
5. From 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,
8. and from Mount Hor to the border of Hamath so that it ends at Zedad.
9. From there the border goes to Ziphron and ends at Hazar Enan.
10. “The eastern border extends from Hazar Enan to Shepham.
