Numbers 34:3
南界從死海開始。那海低陷的湖床在南面所憑藉的寬闊荒涼谷地，稱為「哥爾」（Ghor）。一道深窄的峽谷在它的西南角注入這谷地，名為瓦迪菲克雷（Wady-el-Fikreh），並循同一西南方向延伸，名為瓦迪瑪拉（Wady el-Marrah）；這條瓦迪消失於屬「尋的曠野」的群丘之間。而位於「尋的曠野」中的加低斯巴尼亞（見 Numbers 13:26 註釋），正如經文所暗示的，將是南界的最南點。從那裡——若加低斯即今日的艾因韋貝（Ain el-Weibeh）——向西到埃及河，即今日的瓦迪阿里什（Wady el-Arish），距離約七十英里。在這一段之間有哈薩亞達和押們：前者也許是哈澤林（Hazerim，即遊牧村落）地區的統稱（見 Deuteronomy 2:23），亞達是其中之一；押們則也許可認定為克桑（Kesam），即今日的卡薩伊邁（Kasaimeh），那是一群泉源，位於山脊一道隘口的北面，在艾因庫代拉特（Ain el-Kudeirat）以西不遠處。
（另有人認為邊界線沿哥爾經亞拉巴而下，到亞扎津山（Azazimeh）以南，再繞那山的東南通到加迪斯（Gadis），然後通往瓦迪阿里什。）
英文原文
The southern boundary commenced at the Dead Sea. The broad and desolate valley by which the depressed bed of that sea is protected toward the south, is called the Ghor. A deep narrow glen enters it at its southwest corner; it is called Wady-el-Fikreh, and is continued in the same southwestern direction, under the name of Wady el-Marrah; a wady which loses itself among the hills belonging to "the wilderness of Zin;" and Kadesh-barnea (see Numbers 13:26 note), which is "in the wilderness of Zin," will be, as the text implies, the southernmost point of the southern boundary. Thence, if Kadesh be identical with the present Ain el-Weibeh, westward to the river, or brook of Egypt, now Wady el-Arish, is a distance of about seventy miles. In this interval were Hazar-addar and Azmon; the former being perhaps the general name of a district of Hazerim, or nomad hamlets (see Deuteronomy 2:23), of which Adder was one: and Azmon, perhaps to be identified with Kesam, the modern Kasaimeh, a group of springs situate in the north of one of the gaps in the ridge, and a short distance west of Ain el-Kudeirat.
(Others consider the boundary line to have followed the Ghor along the Arabah to the south of the Azazimeh mountains, thence to Gadis round the southeast of that mountain, and thence to Wady el-Arish.)

Numbers 34:7
北面的疆界。關於「何珥山」，請對照 Numbers 20:22 的註釋。這裏這名字指黎巴嫩山整條西面的山脊，長達80英里，始於西頓以東，終於哈馬入口正上方的地點（對照 Numbers 13:21）。那地北疆的最遠點是西達達城（Sadad），位於哈馬入口以東約30英里處。疆界由此折向西南，延伸到西斐侖（Zifran），即大馬士革東北約40英里之處。哈薩以難則可以推測為阿雲埃德達拉（Ayun ed-Dara），一座位於安提黎巴嫩中央大山脈心臟地帶的泉源。
英文原文
The northern border. On the "Mount Hor," compare Numbers 20:22 note. Here the name denotes the whole western crest of Mount Lebanon, 80 miles in length, commencing east of Zidon, and terminating with the point immediately above the entrance of Hamath (compare Numbers 13:21). The extreme point in the northern border of the land was the city of Zedad (Sadad), about 30 miles east of the entrance of Hamath. Hence, the border turned back southwestward to Ziphron (Zifran), about 40 miles northeast of Damascus. Hazar-enan may be conjecturally identified with Ayun ed-Dara, a fountain situate in the very heart of the great central chain of Antilibanus.

Numbers 34:10
哈薩以南（Hazar-enan）之後的第一個地點示番（Shepham）已不可考。有人將利比拉（Riblah）一名讀作哈爾貝爾（Har-bel），即「貝勒之山」，認為那就是 Judges 3:3 的巴力黑門山（Har-baal-Hermon）。再沒有比黑門山頂更醒目的地界標誌可指了：黑門山是整條反黎巴嫩山脈最南端、也遠遠最高的山峰，高達一萬英尺，超越聖地中其餘一切山嶺。亞延（Ain，意即「泉源」）被理解為約但河的源頭；正是在黑門山西南麓的平原上，坐落著這河最著名的兩大水源——達夫內（Daphne）泉與帕尼亞斯（Paneas）泉。
「基尼烈海」以它後來的名字革尼撒勒（Gennesaret）更為人熟知；這名稱據信只是「基尼烈」的訛變。這地界與該海平行，沿著位於其東約十英里的山脊線延伸。
英文原文
Shepham, the first point after Hazar-enan, is unknown. The name Riblah is by some read Har-bel, i. e., "the Mountain of Bel;" the Har-baal-Hermon of Judges 3:3. No more striking landmark could be set forth than the summit of Hermon, the southernmost and by far the loftiest peak of the whole Antilibanus range, rising to a height of 10,000 feet, and overtopping every other mountain in the Holy land. Ain, i. e. the fountain, is understood to be the fountain of the Jordan; and it is in the plain at the southwestern foot of Hermon that the two most celebrated sources of that river, those of Daphne and of Paneas, are situate.
The "sea of Chinnereth" is better known by its later name of Gennesaret, which is supposed to be only a corruption of Chinnereth. The border ran parallel to this sea, along the line of hill about 10 miles further east.

Numbers 34:16
如今藉摩西預先選出的這些代表，全都是各支派中的首領，即各大宗族的族長（參 Numbers 13:2）。其中惟有猶大支派的迦勒，我們在別處對他有所認識（參 Numbers 13:4 及以下）。各支派在此被點名的次序是本段獨有的。若將它們兩兩成對——猶大與西緬、便雅憫與但、瑪拿西與以法蓮、西布倫與以薩迦、亞設與拿弗他利——則各對的先後，與聖地產業分配（同樣兩兩相連地看）在地圖上由南向北依次相接的次序相符。
英文原文
Of the representatives now selected through Moses beforehand, who were all princes, i. e. heads of chief families, in their respective tribes (see Numbers 13:2), Caleb alone, of the tribe of Judah, is otherwise known to us (see Numbers 13:4 ff). The order in which the tribes are named is peculiar to this passage. If they be taken in pairs, Judah and Simeon, Benjamin and Dan, Manasseh and Ephraim, Zebulun and Issachar, Asher and Naphtali, the order of the pairs agrees with the order in which the allotments in the Holy land, taken also in couples, followed each other in the map from south to north.
「迦南地」——迦南這名稱在此僅限指約旦河以西的領土。
