6 ‘As for the western border, you shall have the Great Sea, that is, its ^{▼▼Lit border}coastline; this shall be your western border.

7 ‘ ^mAnd this shall be your northern border: you shall draw your boundary from the Great Sea to Mount Hor. 8 You shall draw a boundary from Mount Hor to ⁿthe ^{▼▼Or entrance of Hamath}Lebo-hamath, and the termination of the border shall be at Zedad; 9 and 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, 11 and the border shall go down from Shepham to ^pRiblah 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 ^qChinnereth. 12 And 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.’”
