²Command the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: When you are entered into the land of Chanaan, and it shall be fallen into your possession by lot, it shall be bounded by these limits:

³The south side shall begin from the wilderness of Sin, which is by Edom: and shall have the most salt sea for its furthest limits eastward:

⁴Which limits shall go round on the south side by the ascent of the Scorpion and so into Senna, and reach toward the south as far as Cadesbarne, from whence the frontiers shall go out to the town called Adar, and shall reach as far as Asemona.

⁵And the limits shall fetch a compass from Asemona to the torrent of Egypt, and shall end in the shore of the great sea.

⁶And the west side shall begin from the great sea, and the same shall be the end thereof.

⁷But toward the north side the borders shall begin from the great sea, reaching to the most high mountain,

⁸From which they shall come to Emath, as far as the borders of Sedada:

⁹And the limits shall go as far as Zephrona, and the village of Enan. These shall be the borders on the north side.

¹⁰From thence they shall mark out the grounds towards the east side from the village of Enan unto Sephama.

¹¹And from Sephama the bounds shall go down to Rebla over against the fountain of Daphnis: from thence they shall come eastward to the sea of Cenereth,

¹²And shall reach as far as the Jordan, and at the last shall be closed in by the most salt sea. This shall be your land with its borders round about.
