Numbers 34:2–12

²“Command the Israelites and say to them: When you enter the land of Canaan, it will be allotted to you as an inheritance ^jwith these borders:

³Your southern side will be from the Wilderness of Zin along the boundary of Edom. Your southern border on the east will begin at the east end of the Dead Sea. ⁴Your border will turn south of the Ascent of Akrabbim, ^kproceed to Zin, and end south of Kadesh-barnea. It will go to Hazar-addar and proceed to Azmon. ^l5The border will turn from Azmon ^mto the Brook of Egypt, ⁿwhere it will end at the Mediterranean Sea.

⁶Your western border will be the coastline of the Mediterranean Sea; this will be your western border.

⁷This will be your northern border: From the Mediterranean Sea draw a line to Mount Hor; ^op8from Mount Hor draw a line to the entrance of Hamath, ^qrand the border will reach Zedad. ^s9Then the border will go to Ziphron and end at Hazar-enan. ^tThis will be your northern border.

¹⁰For your eastern border, draw a line from Hazar-enan to Shepham. ¹¹The border will go down from Shepham to Riblah east of Ain. ^uIt will continue down and reach the eastern slope of the Sea of Chinnereth. ^vw12Then the border will go down to the Jordan and end at the Dead Sea. This will be your land defined by its borders on all sides.”
