Instruct the Israelite people and say to them: When you enter the land of Canaan, this is the land that shall fall to you as your portion, the land of Canaan with its various boundaries:
Your southern sector shall extend from the wilderness of Zin alongside Edom. Your southern boundary shall start on the east from the tip of the Dead Sea.
Your boundary shall then turn to pass south of the ascent of Akrabbim and continue to Zin, and its limits shall be south of Kadesh-barnea, reaching Hazar-addar and continuing to Azmon.
From Azmon the boundary shall turn toward the Wadi of Egypt and terminate at the Sea.athe Sea I.e., the Mediterranean Sea.
For the western boundary you shall have the coast of the Great Sea;bGreat Sea I.e., the Mediterranean Sea. that shall serve as your western boundary.
This shall be your northern boundary: Draw a line from the Great Sea to Mount Hor;
from Mount Hor draw a line to Lebo-hamath,cLebo-hamath See note at 13.21. and let the boundary reach Zedad.
The boundary shall then run to Ziphron and terminate at Hazar-enan. That shall be your northern boundary.
For your eastern boundary you shall draw a line from Hazar-enan to Shepham.

These are the names of the men through whom the land shall be apportioned for you: Eleazar the priest and Joshua son of Nun.
You shall also take a chieftain from each tribe through whom the land shall be apportioned;
and these are their names: From the tribe of Judah: Caleb son of Jephunneh.
