Commentary on Deuteronomy 11:24

Theological / Devotional

The wilderness. That is, the Wilderness of Zin, lying to the south of Palestine.

Lebanon. The northern boundary.

Euphrates. The northeastern boundary. Compare the promise made to Abraham (Genesis 15:18).

The uttermost sea. Literally, the “hinder” or “western” sea. The word translated “uttermost” is from a root meaning “what is behind,” that is, behind the speaker. In giving directions the Hebrews in Canaan thought of themselves as facing east, and thus the Mediterranean was “behind” them (see Deuteronomy 34:2; Joel 2:20; Zechariah 14:8; see on Exodus 3:1). The Mediterranean Sea is called the great sea in Numbers 34:6.
