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,

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.

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.’”
34:13 Then Moses commanded the Israelites: “This is the land which you will inherit by lot, which the Lord has commanded to be given to the nine and a half tribes,
34:14 because the tribe of the Reubenites by their families, the tribe of the Gadites by their families, and half of the tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance.
34:15 The two and a half tribes have received their inheritance on this side of the Jordan, east of Jericho, toward the sunrise.”

and all the way to the Mediterranean Sea
in the west.
