|
| 3 Then your south side shall be from the wilderness of Zin alongside of Edom, and your southern border shall be from the end of the salt sea eastward; |
|
| 4 and your border shall turn from the south of the ascent of Akrabbim, and pass on to Zin, and shall end southward at Kadesh-barnea, and shall go on to Hazar-Addar, and pass on to Azmon. |

| 8 from mount Hor ye shall mark out the entrance to Hamath, and the end of the border shall be toward Zedad; |
|
| 9 and the border shall go to Ziphron, and shall end at Hazar-enan. This shall be your north border. |
