1 The Lordtold Moses2 to tell the people of Israelthat their land in Canaanwould have the following borders:
3 The southern border will be the ZinDesert and the northwest part of Edom. This border will begin at the south end of the Dead Sea. 4 It will go west from there, but will turn southward to include Scorpion Pass, the village of Zin, and the town of Kadesh-Barnea. From there, the border will continue to Hazar-Addar and on to Azmon. 5 It will run along the Egyptian Gorge and end at the Mediterranean Sea.
6 The western border will be the Mediterranean Sea.
7 The northern border will begin at the Mediterranean, then continue eastward to Mount Hor.34.7 Mount Hor: Not the same as in 33.37.8 After that, it will run to Lebo-Hamath and across to Zedad, which is the northern edge of your land. 9 From Zedad, the border will continue east to Ziphronand end at Hazar-Enan.
10 The eastern border will begin at Hazar-Enan in the north, then run south to Shepham, 11 and on down to Riblahon the east side of Ain. From there, it will go south to the eastern hills of Lake Galilee,34.11 Lake Galilee: The Hebrew text has "Lake Chinnereth," an earlier name for Lake Galilee.12 then follow the Jordan Riverdown to the north end of the Dead Sea.
The land within those four borders will belong to you.

It will be yours, but the Lordhas commanded you to divide it among the nine and a half tribes. 14 The tribes of Reuben, Gad, and East Manassehhave already been given their land 15 across from Jericho, east of the Jordan River."
