Every place whereon the soles of your feet shall tread shall be yours: from the wilderness and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates, even unto the uttermost sea shall your coast be. (Deuteronomy 11:24)
That is, the Wilderness of Zin, lying to the south of Palestine.
Lebanon.
The northern boundary.
Euphrates.
The northeastern boundary. Compare the promise made to Abraham (Gen. 15:18).
The uttermost sea.
Literally, the “hinder” or “western” sea. The word translated “uttermost” is from a root meaning “what is behind,” that is, behind the speaker. In giving directions the Hebrews in Canaan thought of themselves as facing east, and thus the Mediterranean was “behind” them (see Deut. 34:2; Joel 2:20; Zech. 14:8; see on Ex. 3:1). The Mediterranean Sea is called the great sea in Num. 34:6.
