2Command the children of Israel, and tell them, When you come into the land of Canaan (this is the land that shall fall to you for an inheritance, even the land of Canaan according to the borders of it),
3then your south quarter shall be from the wilderness of Zin along by the side of Edom, and your south border shall be from the end of the Salt Sea eastward;
4and your border shall turn about southward of the ascent of Akrabbim, and pass along to Zin; and the goings out of it shall be southward of Kadesh-barnea; and it shall go forth to Hazar-addar, and pass along to Azmon;
5and the border shall turn about from Azmon to the brook of Egypt, and the goings out of it shall be at the sea.
6For the western border, you shall have the great sea and the border [of it]: this shall be your west border.
7This shall be your north border: from the great sea you shall mark out for you Mount Hor;
8from Mount Hor you shall mark out to the entrance of Hamath; and the goings out of the border shall be at Zedad;
