Numbers 34:2-13
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 34
2Command the sons of Israel and say to them, ‘When you enter the land of Canaan, this is the land that shall fall to you as an inheritance, that is, the land of Canaan according to its borders. 3Your southern region shall extend from the wilderness of Zin along the side of Edom, and your southern border shall extend from the end of the Salt Sea eastward. 4Then your border shall change direction from the south to the ascent of Akrabbim and continue to Zin, and its termination shall be to the south of Kadesh-barnea; and it shall reach Hazaraddar and continue to Azmon. 5Then the border shall change direction from Azmon to the brook of Egypt, and its termination shall be at the sea.
7‘And this shall be your northern border: you shall draw your boundary from the Great Sea to Mount Hor.
8You shall draw a boundary from Mount Hor to the Lebo-hamath, and the termination of the border shall be at Zedad;
9and the border shall proceed to Ziphron, and its termination shall be at Hazar-enan. This shall be your northern border.
10‘For your eastern border you shall also draw a boundary from Hazar-enan to Shepham,
11and the border shall go down from Shepham to Riblah on the east side of Ain; and the border shall go down and reach to the slope on the east side of the Sea of Chinnereth.
12And the border shall go down to the Jordan, and its termination shall be at the Salt Sea. This shall be your land according to its borders on all sides.’?'

Chapter 34
2Command the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land of Canaan; (this is the land that shall fall unto you for an inheritance, even the land of Canaan with the coasts thereof:) 3Then your south quarter shall be from the wilderness of Zin along by the coast of Edom, and your south border shall be the outmost coast of the salt sea eastward: 4And your border shall turn from the south to the ascent of Akrabbim, and pass on to Zin: and the going forth thereof shall be from the south to Kadeshbarnea, and shall go on to Hazaraddar, and pass on to Azmon: 5And the border shall fetch a compass from Azmon unto the river of Egypt, and the goings out of it shall be at the sea. 6And as for the western border, ye shall even have the great sea for a border: this shall be your west border. 7And this shall be your north border: from the great sea ye shall point out for you mount Hor: 8From mount Hor ye shall point out your border unto the entrance of Hamath; and the goings forth of the border shall be to Zedad: 9And the border shall go on to Ziphron, and the goings out of it shall be at Hazarenan: this shall be your north border. 10And ye shall point out your east border from Hazarenan to Shepham: 11And the coast shall go down from Shepham to Riblah, on the east side of Ain; and the border shall descend, and shall reach unto the side of the sea of Chinnereth eastward: 12And the border shall go down to Jordan, and the goings out of it shall be at the salt sea: this shall be your land with the coasts thereof round about. 13And Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying, This is the land which ye shall inherit by lot, which the LORD commanded to give unto the nine tribes, and to the half tribe:Christian Standard Bible
3Your southern side will be from the Wilderness of Zin along the boundary of Edom. Your southern border on the east will begin at the east end of the Dead Sea.
4Your border will turn south of the Scorpions' Ascent, proceed to Zin, and end south of Kadesh-barnea. It will go to Hazar-addar and proceed to Azmon.
5The border will turn from Azmon to the Brook of Egypt, where it will end at the Mediterranean Sea.
7This will be your northern border: From the Mediterranean Sea draw a line to Mount Hor;
8from Mount Hor draw a line to the entrance of Hamath, and the border will reach Zedad.
9Then the border will go to Ziphron and end at Hazar-enan. This will be your northern border.
10For your eastern border, draw a line from Hazar-enan to Shepham.
11The border will go down from Shepham to Riblah east of Ain. It will continue down and reach the eastern slope of the Sea of Chinnereth.
12Then the border will go down to the Jordan and end at the Dead Sea. This will be your land defined by its borders on all sides."
New Living Translation
Chapter 34
2Give these instructions to the Israelites: When you come into the land of Canaan, which I am giving you as your special possession, these will be the boundaries. 3The southern portion of your country will extend from the wilderness of Zin, along the edge of Edom. The southern boundary will begin on the east at the Dead Sea. 4It will then run south past Scorpion Pass in the direction of Zin. Its southernmost point will be Kadesh-barnea, from which it will go to Hazar-addar, and on to Azmon. 5From Azmon the boundary will turn toward the Brook of Egypt and end at the Mediterranean Sea.
7Your northern boundary will begin at the Mediterranean Sea and run east to Mount Hor,
8then to Lebo-hamath, and on through Zedad
9and Ziphron to Hazar-enan. This will be your northern boundary.

3'Your southern side will include some of the Desert of Zin along the border of Edom. Your southern boundary will start in the east from the southern end of the Dead Sea,
4cross south of Scorpion Pass, continue on to Zin and go south of Kadesh Barnea. Then it will go to Hazar Addar and over to Azmon,
5where it will turn, join the Wadi of Egypt and end at the Mediterranean Sea.

8and from Mount Hor to Lebo Hamath. Then the boundary will go to Zedad,
