And Jehovah spake unto Moses , saying,
2
Command the children of Israel , and say unto them, When ye come into the land of Canaan (this is the land that shall fall unto you for an inheritance , even the land of Canaan according to the borders thereof),
3
then your south quarter shall be from the wilderness of Zin along by the side of Edom , and your south border shall be from the end of the Salt Sea eastward;
4
and your border shall turn about southward of the ascent of Akrabbim, and pass along to Zin; and the goings out thereof shall be southward of Kadesh-barnea; and it shall go forth to Hazar-addar, and pass along to Azmon;
5
and the border shall turn about from Azmon unto the brook of Egypt , and the goings out thereof shall be at the sea .
6
And for the western border , ye shall have the great sea and the border [thereof]: this shall be your west border .
7
And this shall be your north border : from the great sea ye shall mark out for you mount Hor;
8
from mount Hor ye shall mark out unto the entrance of Hamath; and the goings out of the border shall be at Zedad;
9
and the border shall go forth to Ziphron, and the goings out thereof shall be at Hazar-enan: this shall be your north border .
10
And ye shall mark out your east border from Hazar-enan to Shepham;
11
and the border shall go down from Shepham to Riblah, on the east side of Ain; and the border shall go down , and shall reach unto the side of the sea of Chinnereth eastward;
12
and the border shall go down to the Jordan , and the goings out thereof shall be at the Salt Sea . This shall be your land according to the borders thereof round about .
