²“Give this command to the people of Israel: ‘You will soon enter Canaan and it will be yours. These shall be the borders: ³On the south you will get part of the Desert of Zin near the border of Edom. On the east side your southern border will start at the south end of the Dead Sea, ⁴cross south of Scorpion Pass, and go through the Desert of Zin and south of Kadesh Barnea. Then it will go to Hazar Addar and over to Azmon. ⁵From Azmon it will go to the brook of Egypt, and it will end at the Mediterranean Sea.

⁶“ ‘Your western border will be the Mediterranean Sea.

⁷“ ‘Your northern border will begin at the Mediterranean Sea and go to Mount Hor. ⁸From Mount Hor it will go to Lebo Hamath, and on to Zedad. ⁹Then the border will go to Ziphron, and it will end at Hazar Enan. This will be your northern border.

¹⁰“ ‘Your eastern border will begin at Hazar Enan and go to Shepham. ¹¹From Shepham the border will go east of Ain to Riblah and along the hills east of Lake Galilee. ¹²Then the border will go down along the Jordan River and end at the Dead Sea.

“ ‘These are the borders around your country.’ ”
