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 pass around from Azmon unto the River of Egypt, and the limits of it shall be at the Sea.

6 "`And as for the western border, ye shall even have the Great Sea for a border. This shall be your west border.
