PLEASE, do us all a favor and draw the perfect map according to Scripture and post it in this thread so that we can all have the right one firmly in view. This is a serious request.

I'm not sure I can guarantee 100% agreement. But I'm pretty open minded on the topic. As long as it's Biblical, I'm open to wherever the lines fall according to The Bible.

Look at the closest globe. Read the Great Commission. Compare.

Crawling back into the cradle isn't an option for grownups.

Here is a map. Most bibles have a good map in the back.

Here is a better discription of the land given to Israel.

Numbers - Chapter 34

Num 34:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,


Num 34:2 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:)


Num 34:3 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:


Num 34:4 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:


Num 34:5 And the border shall fetch a compass from Azmon unto the river of Egypt (Wadi el Arish), and the goings out of it shall be at the sea.


Num 34:6 And [as for] the western border, ye shall even have the great sea for a border: this shall be your west border.


Num 34:7 And this shall be your north border: from the great sea ye shall point out for you mount Hor:


Num 34:8 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:


Num 34:9 And the border shall go on to Ziphron, and the goings out of it shall be at Hazarenan: this shall be your north border.


Num 34:10 And ye shall point out your east border from Hazarenan to Shepham:


Num 34:11 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 (Sea of Galilee) eastward:


Num 34:12 And the border shall go down to JORDAN, and the goings out of it shall be at the salt sea: this shall be your land with the coasts thereof round about.


Num 34:13 And Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying, This [is] the land which ye shall inherit by lot, which the LORD commanded to give unto the nine tribes, and to the half tribe:

We have to remember that two tribes, and later Dan, took their inheritance East of the Jordan.
