¹⁸ On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram^(A) and said, “To your descendants I give this land,^(B) from the Wadi^[a] of Egypt^(C) to the great river, the Euphrates^(D)—

³¹ “I will establish your borders from the Red Sea^[a] to the Mediterranean Sea,^[b] and from the desert to the Euphrates River.^(A) I will give into your hands the people who live in the land, and you will drive them out^(B) before you.

³ “‘Your southern side will include some of the Desert of Zin^(A) along the border of Edom.

⁶ “‘Your western boundary will be the coast of the Mediterranean Sea.^(G) This will be your boundary on the west.^(H)

⁷ “‘For your northern boundary,^(I) run a line from the Mediterranean Sea to Mount Hor^{(J) 8} and from Mount Hor to Lebo Hamath.^(K) Then the boundary will go to Zedad, ⁹ continue to Ziphron and end at Hazar Enan. This will be your boundary on the north.
