God's oath to Abraham and his seed does not fail, though possession of Canaan may be interrupted for long seasons. The promise stands; the lines fall in pleasant places; and though His providences seem to contradict His word, He will be ever mindful of His covenant. Thus the heavenly inheritance is sure to all the seed of faith.

The west side also shall be the great sea from the border,.... From the border of Egypt, and the river of it, to the Mediterranean sea, is the west side of the land, and the western border of it; hence the western point is often expressed in Scripture by the sea: till a man come over against Hamath; Antioch in Syria; see Eze 47:16.
The great sea - The Mediterranean. From the border - The southern border, mentioned Eze 47:19.
