Numbers 34:8

6 ‘As for the ^awestern border, you shall have the Great Sea for a border; this shall be your western border.

7 ‘And this shall be your northern border: From the Great Sea you shall mark out your border line to ^aMount Hor;

8 from Mount Hor you shall mark out your border ^ato the entrance of Hamath; then the direction of the border shall be toward ^bZedad;

9 the border shall proceed to Ziphron, and it shall end at ^aHazar Enan. This shall be your northern border.

10 ‘You shall mark out your eastern border from Hazar Enan to Shepham;

11 the border shall go down from Shepham to ^aRiblah on the east side of Ain; the border shall go down and reach to the eastern¹ side of the Sea ^bof Chinnereth;

12 the border shall go down along the Jordan, and it shall end at ^athe Salt Sea. This shall be your land with its surrounding boundaries.’ ”

13 Then Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying: ^a“This is the land which you shall inherit by lot, which the Lord has commanded to give to the nine tribes and to the half-tribe.

Numbers

NUMBERS. This book is so called because it contains an account of the enumeration and arrangement of the Israelites. The early part of it, from the first through the tenth chapters, appears to be a supplement to Leviticus, being occupied with relating the appointment of the Levites to the sacred offices. The journal of the march through the wilderness is then given as far as Numbers 21:20; after which the early incidents of the invasion are narrated. One direct quotation only from this book (Numbers 16:5) is made in the New Testament (II Timothy 2:19); but indirect references to it by the later sacred writers are very numerous.
