Ezekiel 47:19

19 Forsooth the south coast of midday is from Tamar till to the waters of against-saying of Kadesh; and the strand till to the great sea, and the south coast of midday. (And the south side is southward from Tamar unto the waters of strife at Kadesh/unto the waters of Meribah-by-Kadesh; and along the river, unto the Great Sea; this is the south side toward the Negeb.)

Ezekiel 47:19 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 47:19

And the south side southward from Tamar
Not Jericho, as the Targum, Jarchi, and Kimchi, called by this name from the palm trees which grew near it; according to Jerom, this is Palmyra, so called for the same reason; but it is rather Engedi, called Hazazontamar, ( 2 Chronicles 20:2 ) , the line of the southern border began here, and went on, even to the waters of strife in Kadesh;
to the waters of Meribah in Kadesh; so called, from the strivings of the children of Israel with the Lord there, ( Numbers 20:1 Numbers 20:13 ) : the river to the great sea;
it proceeded by the river of Egypt, the river Sihor, the Nile, which is before Egypt, ( Joshua 13:3 ) ( 15:47 ) and so on to the Mediterranean sea: and this is the south side southward;
the south side of the land, and the southern border of it.

Ezekiel 47:19 In-Context

17 And the end shall be from the sea till to the porch of Enan, (to) the end of Damascus, and from the north till to the north, (to) the end of Hamath; forsooth this is the north coast. (And so the border shall be from the Great Sea, unto Hazarenan, to the border of Damascus, and from the north unto the north, to the border of Hamath; this is the north side.)

18 Certainly the east coast from the midst of Hauran, and from the midst of Damascus, and from the midst of Gilead, and from the midst of the land of Israel, is Jordan, parting at the east sea, also ye shall mete the east coast. (And ye shall measure the east side from the midst of Hauran, and from the midst of Damascus, and from the midst of Gilead, and from the midst of the land of Israel, unto the Jordan River, and then south unto the East Sea, that is, the Dead Sea, to Tamar; this is the east side.)

19 Forsooth the south coast of midday is from Tamar till to the waters of against-saying of Kadesh; and the strand till to the great sea, and the south coast of midday. (And the south side is southward from Tamar unto the waters of strife at Kadesh/unto the waters of Meribah-by-Kadesh; and along the river, unto the Great Sea; this is the south side toward the Negeb.)

20 And the coast of the sea is the great sea, from the nigh coast by [the] straight, till thou come to Hamath; this is the coast of the sea. (And the west side is the Great Sea, straight north along the coast, until thou come to Hamath; this is the west side.)

21 And ye shall part this land to you by the lineages of Israel; (And ye shall divide this land unto the tribes of Israel;)
