Deuteronomy 11:24 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 11:24

Every place wherein the soles of your feet shall tread
Meaning in the land of Canaan; though the Jews vainly apply this to every land, and country, and place therein, where any of them come; pleasing themselves with this foolish fancy, that all shall be theirs that the foot of any of them have trod upon, or they have dwelt in; but that it respects only the land of Canaan appears by the following description of it and its boundaries:

from the wilderness;
the wilderness of Paran, which lay to the south of it, where Kadesh was, from whence the spies were sent, and was the southern border of it:

and Lebanon;
which was a range of mountains to the north of it; and was the northern border of the land:

from the river, the river Euphrates;
which was the eastern border of it, when it was carried to its utmost extent, as in the days of Solomon, ( 1 Kings 4:21 )

even unto the uttermost sea shall your coast be:
the Mediterranean sea, which was the western border of the land of Canaan, or "the hinder sea", and so it is called ( Zechariah 14:8 ) , it lay at the back of them; for if a man stands with his face to the east, the south will be on his right hand, and the north on his left, and the west will be behind him, or at the back of him.

24 Every place where you set your foot will be yours: Your territory will extend from the desert to Lebanon, and from the Euphrates River to the Mediterranean Sea.

25 No one will be able to stand against you. The LORD your God, as he promised you, will put the terror and fear of you on the whole land, wherever you go.

26 See, I am setting before you today a blessing and a curse—
