Numbers 34:6 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 34:6

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.

5 and the border shall turn about from `Atzmon to the brook of Mitzrayim, and the goings out of it shall be at the sea.

6 For the western border, you shall have the great sea and the border [of it]: this shall be your west border.

7 This shall be your north border: from the great sea you shall mark out for you Mount Hor;

8 from Mount Hor you shall mark out to the entrance of Hamat; and the goings out of the border shall be at Tzedad;
