The boundary continues — And it went out to the south side of the ascent of Akrabbim, and passed along to Zin, and ascended up on the south side of Kadesh-barnea, and passed along to Hezron, and went up to Addar, and fetched a compass to Karkaa. The boundary traces southward through geographic features—the ascent of Akrabbim ('the ascent of scorpions,' a difficult mountain pass), Zin (wilderness region), Kadesh-barnea (the great wilderness encampment), Hezron, Addar, and Karkaa. The detailed enumeration of boundary features ensures clarity and prevents territorial disputes.
