The Boundaries of the Land of PromiseOn the land and the tribes inhabiting it see on Numbers 13:21.3-5. The southern border: this started from the S. extremity of the Dead Sea, here called the Salt Sea (Numbers 34:3), and proceeded in a SW. direction to the ascent of Akrabbim, i.e. ’of scorpions’ (Numbers 34:4), a row of cliffs about 8 m. distant; thence it passed by way of Kadesh-Barnea to the River of Egypt, where it reached the Mediterranean Sea (Numbers 34:5).

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Numbers 34:1-29

THE WAY AND THE LOTNumbers 33:1-56; Numbers 34:1-291. THE itinerary of Numbers 33:1-49 is one of the passages definitely ascribed to Moses. It opens with the departure from Rameses in Egypt on the morrow after the passover, when the children of Israel "went out with a high hand in the sight of all the Egyptians." The exodus is made singularly impressive in this narrative by the addition that it took place "while the Egyptians were burying all their firstborn, which the Lord had smitten among... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Numbers 34:1-29

BOUNDARIES OF ISRAEL'S INHERITANCE (vs.1-15) The Lord now defines the boundaries of the land that Israel was to inherit at the time. For the area then was made smaller than it will be in Millennium, when it will extend from the Nile River in Egypt to the Euphrates River (Genesis 15:18). There is no doubt that all the names and places involved in these boundaries have spiritual significance, but we can only pass them over through lack of needed intelligence. Yet though in glory our own... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Numbers 34:1-29

Boundaries Num 34:1-12 Life is marked all over with boundary lines. Two different views may be taken of such lines, that is to say, in the first place they may be regarded as limitations and partial impoverishments, or, in the next place, they may be regarded as defining rights and liberties, possessions and authorities. Thus, the low view or the high view may be taken of everything in life. Men will work according to their imagination their noblest faculty. Where that is dull, everything... read more
