Num 34:3

Num 34:3‘Your southern border shall be from the Wilderness of Zin along the border of Edom; then your southern border shall extend eastward to the end of the Salt Sea;

Num 34:4

Num 34:4‘your border shall turn from the southern side of the Ascent of Akrabbim, continue to Zin, and be on the south of Kadesh Barnea; then it shall go on to Hazar Addar, and continue to Azmon;

Num 34:5

Num 34:5‘the border shall turn from Azmon to the Brook of Egypt, and it shall end at the Sea.

Num 34:6

Num 34:6‘As for the western border, you shall have the Great Sea for a border; this shall be your western border.

Num 34:7

Num 34:7‘And this shall be your northern border: From the Great Sea you shall mark out your border line to Mount Hor;

Num 34:8

Num 34:8‘from Mount Hor you shall mark out your border to the entrance of Hamath; then the direction of the border shall be toward Zedad;

Num 34:9

Num 34:9‘the border shall proceed to Ziphron, and it shall end at Hazar Enan. This shall be your northern border.

Num 34:10

Num 34:10‘You shall mark out your eastern border from Hazar Enan to Shepham;

Num 34:11

Num 34:11‘the border shall go down from Shepham to Riblah on the east side of Ain; the border shall go down and reach to the eastern side of the Sea of Chinnereth;

Num 34:12

Num 34:12‘the border shall go down along the Jordan, and it shall end at the Salt Sea. This shall be your land with its surrounding boundaries.’ ”

Num 34:13

Num 34:13Then Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying: “This is the land which you shall inherit by lot, which the LORD has commanded to give to the nine tribes and to the half-tribe.

Num 34:14

Num 34:14“For the tribe of the children of Reuben according to the house of their fathers, and the tribe of the children of Gad according to the house of their fathers, have received their inheritance; and the half-tribe of Manasseh has received its inheritance.
