Joshua 15:12 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 15:12

And the west border [was] to the great sea, and the coast
[thereof]
The western border of the tribe of Judah went along by the Mediterranean sea, which lay west to the land of Canaan; and this border reached from Jabneel to the river of Egypt, where the southern border ended, ( Joshua 15:4 ) ;

this [is] the coast of the children of Judah round about according to
their families;
but being too large, some part of it was afterwards given to Simeon, and some particular cities of it were given to Dan and Benjamin: it was bounded on the west by the tribes of Simeon and Dan towards the Mediterranean sea, and by the tribe of Benjamin on the north, and by the wilderness of Paran on the south, and by the dead sea and Jordan on the east.
