From the wilderness, to wit, of Sin, on the south side.
And Lebanon; and from Lebanon; or, and to Lebanon, which was the northern border.
The river Euphrates on the east. So far their right of dominion extended, but that their sins cut them short; and so far Solomon extended his dominion.
Unto the uttermost sea; the western or midland sea; Heb.
the hindermost sea; for the eastern part of the world being generally esteemed the foremost, and the southern on the right hand, Psa_89:12, and consequently the northern on the left hand, the western part must needs be behind. Of these bounds of the land see Gen_10:19 15:18 Exo_23:31 Jos_1:3,4.
