Study note
Setting — Moses specifies the northern boundary of the Promised Land to the Israelite leaders during the final wilderness generation. The words — The text uses תּוֹצְאֹת הַגְּבֻל (totz'ot ha-gvul) meaning "[the] extremities of the border," and תְּתָא֖וּ (te.ta.'U) meaning "you will mark out." The thread — This boundary line appears in Numbers 13:21, 2 Kings 14:25, and Ezekiel 47:15. Why it lands — The verse establishes a fixed territorial limit that requires the reader to accept the land as a defined, allocated inheritance rather than open territory.

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:
