Numbers 34:2–12

²“Command the Israelites, and say to them: When you enter the land of Canaan (this is the land that shall fall to you for an inheritance, the land of Canaan, defined by its boundaries),^{* 3}your south sector shall extend from the wilderness of Zin along the side of Edom. Your southern boundary shall begin from the end of the Dead Sea^z on the east;^{* 4}your boundary shall turn south of the ascent of Akrabbim and cross to Zin, and its outer limit shall be south of Kadesh-barnea; then it shall go on to Hazar-addar and cross to Azmon; ⁵the boundary shall turn from Azmon to the Wadi of Egypt, and its termination shall be at the Sea.^*

⁶“For the western boundary, you shall have the Great Sea and its^a coast; this shall be your western boundary.

⁷“This shall be your northern boundary: from the Great Sea you shall mark out your line to Mount Hor;^{* 8}from Mount Hor you shall mark it out to Lebo-hamath, and the outer limit of the boundary shall be at Zedad;^{* 9}then the boundary shall extend to Ziphron, and its end shall be at Hazar-enan; this shall be your northern boundary.

¹⁰“You shall mark out your eastern boundary from Hazar-enan to Shepham, ¹¹and the boundary shall continue down from Shepham to Riblah on the east side of Ain, and the boundary shall go down and reach the eastern slope of the sea of Chinnereth,^{* 12}and the boundary shall go down to the Jordan, and its end shall be at the Dead Sea.^b This shall be your land with its boundaries all around.”
