Promised Boundaries of Israel
Exodus 23:27-31:
(27) “I shall send My fear before you, and cause confusion among all the people to whom you come, and make all your enemies turn their backs to you.
(28) “And I shall send hornets before you, which shall drive out the H?iwwite, the Kena?anite, and the H?ittite from before you.
(29) “I shall not drive them out from before you in one year, lest the land become a waste and the beast of the field become too numerous for you.
(30) “Little by little I shall drive them out from before you, until you have increased, and you inherit the land.
(31) “And I shall set your border from the Sea of Reeds to the Sea of the Philistines, and from the wilderness to the River, for I shall give the inhabitants of the land into your hand, and you shall drive them out before you.

Numbers 34:1-15:
(1) And יהוה spake unto Moses, saying,
(2) Command the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land of Canaan; (this is the land that shall fall unto you for an inheritance, even the land of Canaan with the coasts thereof:)
(3) Then your south quarter shall be from the wilderness of Zin along by the coast of Edom, and your south border shall be the outmost coast of the salt sea eastward:
(4) And your border shall turn from the south to the ascent of Akrabbim, and pass on to Zin: and the going forth thereof shall be from the south to Kadeshbarnea, and shall go on to Hazaraddar, and pass on to Azmon:
(5) And the border shall fetch a compass from Azmon unto the river of Egypt, and the goings out of it shall be at the sea.
(6) And as for the western border, ye shall even have the great sea for a border: this shall be your west border.
(7) And this shall be your north border: from the great sea ye shall point out for you mount Hor:
(8) From mount Hor ye shall point out your border unto the entrance of Hamath; and the goings forth of the border shall be to Zedad:
(9) And the border shall go on to Ziphron, and the goings out of it shall be at Hazarenan: this shall be your north border.
(10) And ye shall point out your east border from Hazarenan to Shepham:
(11) And the coast shall go down from Shepham to Riblah, on the east side of Ain; and the border shall descend, and shall reach unto the side of the sea of Chinnereth [Galilee] eastward:
(12) And the border shall go down to Jordan, and the goings out of it shall be at the salt sea [Dead Sea]: this shall be your land with the coasts thereof round about.
(13) And Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying, This is the land which ye shall inherit by lot, which יהוה commanded to give unto the nine tribes, and to the half tribe:
(14) For the tribe of the children of Reuben according to the house of their fathers, and the tribe of the children of Gad according to the house of their fathers, have received their inheritance; and half the tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance:
(15) The two tribes and the half tribe have received their inheritance on this side Jordan near Jericho eastward, toward the sunrising.

Deuteronomy 1:5-8:
(5) Beyond the Jordan, in the land of Moab, Moses undertook to declair this Torah, saying,
(6) “יהוה our Elohim spoke to us in Horeb, saying, ‘You have dwelt long enough at this mountain.
(7) ‘Turn and set out on your way, and go into the mountains of the Amorites, and to all the neighbouring places in the desert plain, in the mountains and in the low country, and in the Negeb and on the seacoast, to the land of the Kenaanites and to Lebanon, as far as the great river, the River Euphrates.
(8) ‘See, I have set the land before you. Go in and possess the land which יהוה swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give to them and their seed after them.’
