Contextual Overview
1And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying, 2"Command the sons of Israel, and you have said to them: When you are coming into the land of Canaan—this [is] the land which falls to you by inheritance, the land of Canaan, by its borders— 3then the south quarter has been to you from the wilderness of Zin, by the sides of Edom, indeed, the south border has been to you from the extremity of the Salt Sea eastward; 4and the border has turned around to you from the south to the ascent of Akrabbim, and has passed on to Zin, and its outgoings have been from the south to Kadesh-Barnea, and it has gone out at Hazar-Addar, and has passed on to Azmon; 5and the border has turned around from Azmon to the Brook of Egypt, and its outgoings have been at the sea. 6As for the west border, even the Great Sea has been a border to you; this is the west border to you.7And this is the north border to you: from the Great Sea you mark out for yourselves Mount Hor; 8from Mount Hor you mark out to go to Hamath, and the outgoings of the border have been to Zedad; 9and the border has gone out to Ziphron, and its outgoings have been at Hazar-Enan; this is the north border to you. 10And you have marked out for yourselves for the border eastward, from Hazar-Enan to Shepham;

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And as for the western border,.... Of the land of Canaan:
you shall even have the great sea for a border; and no other, meaning the Mediterranean sea, which lies west of the land of Judea; Aben Ezra calls it the Spanish sea: it has the name of "great", in comparison of some in the land of Canaan, as the salt sea, and the sea of Tiberias:
this shall be your west border; namely, the Mediterranean sea.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Numbers 34:6. Ye shall even have the great sea for a border — The Mediterranean Sea, called here the Great Sea, to distinguish it from the Dead Sea, the Sea of Tiberias, &c., which were only a sort of lakes. In Hebrew there is properly but one term, ים yam, which is applied to all collections of water apparently stagnant, and which is generally translated sea. The Greek of the New Testament follows the Hebrew, and employs, in general, the word θαλασσα, SEA, whether it speaks of the Mediterranean, or of the sea or lake of Galilee.
