The border of the CANAANITES was from Sidon-as you go toward Gerar-to Gaza-as you go toward Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim-to Lasha.

Abram passed through the land to the place of Shechem, to the oak of Moreh. At that time, CANAANITES were in the land.

In that day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, "I have given this land to your offspring, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates:

I will set your border from the Red Sea even to the sea of the Philistines, and from the wilderness to the River; for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand, and you shall drive them out before you.

Amalek dwells in the land of the South. The Hittite, the Jebusite, and the Amorite dwell in the hill country. The Canaanite dwells by the sea, and along the side of the Jordan."

2. "Command the children of Israel, and tell them, 'When you come into the land of Canaan (this is the land that shall fall to you for an inheritance, even the land of Canaan according to its borders),

3. then your south quarter shall be from the wilderness of Zin along by the side of Edom, and your south border shall be from the end of the Salt Sea eastward.

4. Your border shall turn about southward of the ascent of Akrabbim, and pass along to Zin; and it shall pass southward of Kadesh Barnea; and it shall go from there to Hazar Addar, and pass along to Azmon.

5. The border shall turn about from Azmon to the brook of Egypt, and it shall end at the sea.

6. "'For the western border, you shall have the great sea and its border. This shall be your west border.

7. "'This shall be your north border: from the great sea you shall mark out for yourselves Mount Hor.

8. From Mount Hor you shall mark out to the entrance of Hamath; and the border shall pass by Zedad.

9. Then the border shall go to Ziphron, and it shall end at Hazar Enan. This shall be your north border.

10. "'You shall mark out your east border from Hazar Enan to Shepham.

11. The border shall go down from Shepham to Riblah, on the east side of Ain. The border shall go down, and shall reach to the side of the sea of Chinnereth eastward.

12. The border shall go down to the Jordan, and end at the Salt Sea. This shall be your land according to its borders around it.'"
