The borders of the land

The Lord spoke to Moses: 'Tell the Israelites: When you enter the land of Canaan, this is the land that will fall to you as an inheritance — the land of Canaan within its borders.' Then your south side will be from the wilderness of Zin along by the coast of Edom. And your south border will be the edge of the Salt Sea eastward. And your border will turn from the south to the going up of Akrabbim and go on to Zin. And it will go out from the south to Kadeshbarnea, and go on to Hazaraddar and go over to Azmon. The border will turn about from Azmon to the wadi of Egypt, and its ends will be at the sea. And as for the western border, you will have the Great Sea for a border. This will be your western border. And this will be your north border: from the Great Sea you will mark out for yourselves Mount Hor. From Mount Hor you will mark out your border to the entrance of Hamath. And the ends of the border will be at Zedad. The border will go on to Ziphron, and its ends will be at Hazarenan. This will be your north border. And you will mark out your east border from Hazarenan to Shepham. The border will go down from Shepham to Riblah on the east side of Ain. And the border will go down and reach to the side of the Sea of Chinnereth eastward. The border will go down to the Jordan, and its ends will be at the Salt Sea. This will be your land with its borders around.

And the Lord spoke to Moses: Order the people of Israel and say to them: When you come into the land of Canaan, this is the land that'll fall to you as an inheritance, the land of Canaan with its borders. Then your south side will be from the wilderness of Zin along by the coast of Edom. And your south border will be the far end of the Salt Sea eastward. And your border will turn from the south to the going up of Akrabbim and go on to Zin. And it'll go out from the south to Kadesh Barnea, and go on to Hazar Addar and go over to Azmon. And the border will turn about from Azmon to the wadi of Egypt, and its ends will be at the sea. And as for the western border, you'll have the Great Sea for a border. This will be your western border. And this will be your north border: from the Great Sea you'll mark out for yourselves Mount Hor. From Mount Hor you'll mark out your border to the entrance of Hamath. And the ends of the border will be at Zedad. And the border will go on to Ziphron, and its ends will be at Hazar Enan. This will be your north border. And you'll mark out your east border from Hazar Enan to Shepham. And the border will go down from Shepham to Riblah on the east side of Ain. And the border will go down and reach to the side of the Sea of Kinnereth eastward. And the border will go down to the Jordan, and its ends will be at the Salt Sea. This will be your land with its borders round about.

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, Command the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land of Canaan; (this is the land that shall fall unto you for an inheritance, even the land of Canaan with the coasts thereof:) Then your south quarter shall be from the wilderness of Zin along by the coast of Edom, and your south border shall be the outmost coast of the salt sea eastward: And your border shall turn from the south to the ascent of Akrabbim, and pass on to Zin: and the going forth thereof shall be from the south to Kadeshbarnea, and shall go on to Hazaraddar, and pass on to Azmon: And the border shall fetch a compass from Azmon unto the river of Egypt, and the goings out of it shall be at the sea. And as for the western border, ye shall even have the great sea for a border: this shall be your west border. And this shall be your north border: from the great sea ye shall point out for you mount Hor: From mount Hor ye shall point out your border unto the entrance of Hamath; and the goings forth of the border shall be to Zedad: And the border shall go on to Ziphron, and the goings out of it shall be at Hazarenan: this shall be your north border. And ye shall point out your east border from Hazarenan to Shepham: And the coast shall go down from Shepham to Riblah, on the east side of Ain; and the border shall descend, and shall reach unto the side of the sea of Chinnereth eastward: And the border shall go down to Jordan, and the goings out of it shall be at the salt sea: this shall be your land with the coasts thereof round about.
