1. The Lord spoke to Moses:
2. Give the Israelites this order: When you enter the land of Canaan, this is the territory that shall fall to you as your heritage—the land of Canaan with its boundaries:
3. Your southern boundary will be at the wilderness of Zin along the border of Edom; on the east your southern boundary will begin at the end of the Salt Sea.
4. Then your boundary will turn south of the Akrabbim Pass and cross Zin. Terminating south of Kadesh-barnea, it extends to Hazar-addar and crosses to Azmon.
5. Then the boundary will turn from Azmon to the Wadi of Egypt and terminate at the Sea.
6. For your western boundary you will have the Great Sea with its coast; this will be your western boundary.
7. This will be your boundary on the north: from the Great Sea you will draw a line to Mount Hor,
8. and draw it from Mount Hor to Lebo-hamath, with the boundary terminating at Zedad.
9. Then the boundary extends to Ziphron and terminates at Hazar-enan. This will be your northern boundary.
