And the border shall turn from Azmon to the Brook of Egypt, and its limit shall be at the sea.
And the border shall fetch a compass,.... Not go on in a straight line, but turn about: from Azmon unto the river of Egypt; the river Nile, as both the Targums of Jonathan and Jerusalem; but Aben Ezra seems to deny that that river is meant: and some think that Rhinocolura, which flows into the Mediterranean sea, is meant; or the "valley of Egypt", Casiotis...
river of Egypt--the ancient brook Sihor, the Rhinocolura of the Greeks, a little to the south of El-Arish, where this wady gently descends towards the Mediterranean (Jos 13:3).
And the border shall fetch a compass from Azmon unto the river of Egypt, and the goings out of it shall be at the sea. (b) Which was Nilus, or as some think Rhinocotura.
