Genesis 15:16-21
15:16 In the fourth generation
your descendants
will return here, for the sin of the Amorites has not yet reached its limit.”
15:17 When the sun had gone down and it was dark, a smoking firepot with a flaming torch passed between the animal parts.
15:18 That day the Lord made a covenant with Abram: “To your descendants I give this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the Euphrates River –
15:19 the land of the Kenites, Kenizzites, Kadmonites,
15:20 Hittites, Perizzites, Rephaites,
15:21 Amorites, Canaanites, Girgashites, and Jebusites.”
Exodus 23:31
23:31 I will set
your boundaries from the Red Sea to the sea of the Philistines, and from the desert to the River,
for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand, and you will drive them out before you.
Numbers 34:3-12
34:3 your southern border
will extend from the wilderness of Zin along the Edomite border, and your southern border will run eastward to the extremity of the Salt Sea,
34:4 and then the border will turn from the south to the Scorpion Ascent,
continue to Zin, and then its direction
will be from the south to Kadesh Barnea. Then it will go to Hazar Addar and pass over to Azmon.
34:5 There the border will turn from Azmon to the Brook of Egypt, and then its direction is to the sea.
The Western Border of the Land
34:6 “‘And for a western border you will have the Great Sea. This will be your western border.
The Northern Border of the Land
34:7 “‘And this will be your northern border: From the Great Sea you will draw a line to Mount Hor;
34:8 from Mount Hor you will draw a line to Lebo Hamath, and the direction of the border will be to Zedad.
34:9 The border will continue to Ziphron, and its direction will be to Hazar Enan. This will be your northern border.
The Eastern Border of the Land
34:10 “‘For your eastern border you will draw a line from Hazar Enan to Shepham.
34:11 The border will run down from Shepham to Riblah, on the east side of Ain, and the border will descend and reach the eastern side of the Sea of Chinnereth.
34:12 Then the border will continue down the Jordan River and its direction will be to the Salt Sea. This will be your land by its borders that surround it.’”
Joshua 24:15
24:15 If you have no desire
to worship
the
Lord, choose today whom you will worship,
whether it be the gods whom your ancestors
worshiped
beyond the Euphrates,
or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living. But I and my family
will worship
the
Lord!”
Amos 2:9
2:9 For Israel’s sake I destroyed the Amorites.
They were as tall as cedars
and as strong as oaks,
but I destroyed the fruit on their branches
and their roots in the ground.
