Numb JPS 34:2  'Command the children of Israel, and say unto them: When ye come into the land of Canaan, this shall be the land that shall fall unto you for an inheritance, even the land of Canaan according to the borders thereof.
Numb JPS 34:3  Thus your south side shall be from the wilderness of Zin close by the side of Edom, and your south border shall begin at the end of the Salt Sea eastward;
Numb JPS 34:4  and your border shall turn about southward of the ascent of Akrabbim, and pass along to Zin; and the goings out thereof shall be southward of Kadesh-barnea; and it shall go forth to Hazar-addar, and pass along to Azmon;
Numb JPS 34:5  and the border shall turn about from Azmon unto the Brook of Egypt, and the goings out thereof shall be at the Sea.
Numb JPS 34:6  And for the western border, ye shall have the Great Sea for a border; this shall be your west border.
Numb JPS 34:7  And this shall be your north border: from the Great Sea ye shall mark out your line unto mount Hor;
Numb JPS 34:8  from mount Hor ye shall mark out a line unto the entrance to Hamath; and the goings out of the border shall be at Zedad;
Numb JPS 34:9  and the border shall go forth to Ziphron, and the goings out thereof shall be at Hazar-enan; this shall be your north border.
Numb JPS 34:10  And ye shall mark out your line for the east border from Hazar-enan to Shepham;
