²the following instructions for the people of Israel: “When you enter Canaan, the land which I am giving you, the borders of your territory will be as follows. ³The southern border will extend from the wilderness of Zin along the border of Edom. It will begin on the east at the southern end of the Dead Sea. ⁴Then it will turn southwards towards Akrabbim Pass and continue on through Zin as far south as Kadesh Barnea. Then it will turn north-west to Hazar Addar and on to Azmon, ⁵where it will turn towards the valley at the border of Egypt and end at the Mediterranean.

⁶“The western border will be the Mediterranean Sea.

⁷“The northern border will follow a line from the Mediterranean to Mount Hor ⁸and from there to Hamath Pass. It will continue to Zedad ⁹and to Ziphron, and will end at Hazar Enan.

¹⁰“The eastern border will follow a line from Hazar Enan to Shepham. ¹¹It will then go south to Harbel, east of Ain, and on to the hills on the eastern shore of Lake Galilee, ¹²then south along the River Jordan to the Dead Sea.

“These will be the four borders of your land.”
