Commentary on Numbers 34:5

Theological / Devotional

Fetch a compass. Literally, “make a turn,” that is, in a more westerly direction.

The river of Egypt. Not the river Nile, but the Wadi el-‘Arish, which was to form the western boundary of Israel, until it reached the Mediterranean Sea about 50 mi. below Gaza. This was to be their border with Egypt.
