Gill's Notes on the Bible
[From thence] it passed towards Azmon, and went out unto the river of Egypt,.... In like manner is this coast described,
Numbers 34:5; it is called by Jerom x Asemona, and said to be a city in the desert, to the south of Judah, dividing Egypt, and the lot of the tribe of Judah, leading to the sea:
and the outgoings of that coast were at the sea; the Mediterranean sea; or to the west, as the Targum; this was the utmost border of the tribe of Judah this way:
this shall be your south coast; of the lot that fell to the tribe of Judah.
x De loc. Heb. fol. 87. K.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Joshua 15:4. Toward Azmon — This was the last city they possessed toward Egypt.
The river of Egypt — The most eastern branch of the river Nile. Joshua 13:3. But there is much reason to doubt whether any branch of the Nile be meant, and whether the promised land extended to that river. On this subject it is impossible to decide either way.
