⥃The Boundaries of Canaan ^{[ Genesis 15:8–21 ]}

[1] And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, [2] Command the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land of Canaan; (this [is] the land² that shall fall unto you for an inheritance³, [even] the land of Canaan with the coasts thereof:) [3] Then your south quarter⁴ 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 eastward⁵: [4] And your border shall turn from the south to the ascent of Akrabbim⁶, and pass on to Zin⁷: and the going forth thereof shall be from the south to Kadesh–barnea⁸, and shall go on to Hazar–addar⁹, and pass on to Azmon: [5] And the border shall fetch a compass from Azmon unto the river¹⁰ of Egypt, and the goings out of it shall be at the sea¹¹. [6] And [as for] the western border, ye shall even have the great sea for a border: this shall be your west border.¹² [7] And this shall be your north border¹³: from the great sea ye shall point out for you mount Hor¹⁴: [8] From mount Hor ye shall point out [your border] unto the entrance¹⁵ of Hamath; and the goings forth of the border shall be to Zedad:

[9] [¶]And the border shall go on to Ziphron, and the goings out of it shall be at Hazar–enan¹⁶: this shall be your north border. [10] And ye shall point out your east border from Hazar–enan to Shepham: [11] And the coast shall go down from Shepham to Riblah¹⁷, on the east side¹⁸ of Ain; and the border shall descend, and shall reach unto the side of the sea of Chinnereth¹⁹ eastward: [12] And the border shall go down to Jordan, and the goings out of it shall be at the salt sea²⁰: this shall be your land with the coasts thereof round about. [13] And Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying, This [is] the land²¹ which ye shall inherit by lot, which the Lord commanded to give unto the nine tribes, and to the half tribe: [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 half the tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance:²² [15] The two tribes²³ and the half tribe have received their inheritance on this side Jordan²⁴ [near] Jericho eastward, toward the sunrising.
