The borders of the land of Canaan

가나안 땅의 사방 경계

Numbers 34:1–12: the LORD gives Moses the borders of the land of Canaan that the children of Israel are to inherit. The south quarter is the wilderness of Zin along Edom; the south border runs from the end of the Salt Sea eastward, south of the ascent of Akrabbim, along to Zin, south of Kadesh Barnea, to Hazar Addar and Azmon, and by the brook of Egypt to the sea. The west border is the great sea. The north border runs from the great sea to Mount Hor, to the entrance of Hamath, Zedad and Ziphron, ending at Hazar Enan. The east border runs from Hazar Enan to Shepham, down to Riblah on the east side of Ain, to the side of the sea of Chinnereth, and down the Jordan to the Salt Sea.

³then 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.
⁴Your 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.
⁵The border shall turn about from Azmon to the brook of Egypt, and it shall end at the sea.
