Unto the utmost sea ; rather, the hinder sea , viz. the Mediterranean (cf. Deuteronomy 11:24 ). The south ; the Negeb, the pasture-land in the south, towards the Arabian desert. The plain of the valley of Jericho ; the extensive plain through which the Jordan flows, extending from Jericho to Zoar, at the south end of the Dead Sea. This wide prospect could not be surveyed by any ordinary power of vision; so that Moses must for the occasion have had his power of vision miraculously increased. There is no ground for supposing that he saw the scene in an ecstatic vision, and not with his bodily eyes.
