Numbers 34:1-10

1 God spoke to Moses:
2 "Command the People of Israel. Tell them: When you enter Canaan, these are the borders of the land you are getting as an inheritance:
3 "Your southern border will take in some of the Wilderness of Zin where it touches Edom. It starts in the east at the Dead Sea,
4 curves south of Scorpion Pass and on to Zin, continues south of Kadesh Barnea, then to Hazar Addar and on to Azmon,
5 where it takes a turn to the northwest to the Brook of Egypt and on to the Mediterranean Sea.
6 "Your western border will be the Mediterranean Sea.
7 "Your northern border runs on a line from the Mediterranean Sea to Mount Hor,
8 and from Mount Hor to Lebo Hamath, connects to Zedad,
9 continues to Ziphron, and ends at Hazar Enan. This is your northern border.
10 "Your eastern border runs on a line from Hazar Enan to Shepham.
