Contextual Overview

¹³ This is what the Sovereign Lord says: "Divide the land in this way for the twelve tribes of Israel: The descendants of Joseph will be given two shares of land. ¹⁴ Otherwise each tribe will receive an equal share. I took a solemn oath and swore that I would give this land to your ancestors, and it will now come to you as your possession. ¹⁵ "These are the boundaries of the land: The northern border will run from the Mediterranean toward Hethlon, then on through Lebo-hamath to Zedad; ¹⁶ then it will run to Berothah and Sibraim, which are on the border between Damascus and Hamath, and finally to Hazer-hatticon, on the border of Hauran. ¹⁷ So the northern border will run from the Mediterranean to Hazar-enan, on the border between Hamath to the north and Damascus to the south. ¹⁸ "The eastern border starts at a point between Hauran and Damascus and runs south along the Jordan River between Israel and Gilead, past the Dead Sea and as far south as Tamar. This will be the eastern border. ¹⁹ "The southern border will go west from Tamar to the waters of Meribah at Kadesh and then follow the course of the Brook of Egypt to the Mediterranean. This will be the southern border. ²⁰ "On the west side, the Mediterranean itself will be your border from the southern border to the point where the northern border begins, opposite Lebo-hamath. ²¹ "Divide the land within these boundaries among the tribes of Israel. ²² Distribute the land as an allotment for yourselves and for the foreigners who have joined you and are raising their families among you. They will be like native-born Israelites to you and will receive an allotment among the tribes.

Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

Reciprocal: Numbers 34:6 - General Joshua 15:12 - the great sea Ezekiel 48:28 - the great sea

Gill's Notes on the Bible

The west side also shall be the great sea from the border,.... From the border of Egypt, and the river of it, to the Mediterranean sea, is the west side of the land, and the western border of it; hence the western point is often expressed in Scripture by the sea:

till a man come over against Hamath; Antioch in Syria; see

Ezekiel 47:16

this is the west side; of the land, and of the western border of it.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Ezekiel 47:20. The great sea — The Mediterranean.

From the border — The southern border, mentioned Ezekiel 47:19.
