Gill's Notes on the Bible
Command the children of Israel, and say unto them,.... Not to fix the borders, and settle the boundaries of the land, for that is done by the Lord himself, who has determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of men's habitations, and particularly of Israel, see Deuteronomy 32:8, but to observe and take notice of the limits he had fixed, that they might know how far they were to go on every side, whom they were to drive out, and what they were to divide and inherit, and see what was their right, and preserve it from the encroachments of their neighbours, as well as observe the goodness of God unto them, in thus providing for them:
when ye come into the land of Canaan; to take possession of it by virtue of a grant of it to them:
this is the land that shall fall unto you for an inheritance; it is said to "fall", because it was divided by lot, each tribe having such a part of it assigned to them, according to the lot that came up unto them: even
the land of Canaan, with the coasts thereof; or according to its borders, which are as follow.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The land of Canaan - The name Canaan is here restricted to the territory west of the Jordan.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Numbers 34:2. The land of Canaan with the coasts thereof — All description here is useless. The situation and boundaries of the land of Canaan can only be known by actual survey, or by consulting a good map.
