Deuteronomy 34:2,3 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

All Naphtali The land of Naphtali, which, together with Dan, was in the north of Canaan, as Ephraim and Manasseh were in the midland parts, and Judah on the south, and the sea on the west. So these parts, lying in the several quarters, are put for all the rest. He stood in the east, and saw also Gilead, which was in the eastern part of the land, and thence he saw the north, and south, and west. The utmost sea The midland sea, which was the utmost bound of the land of promise on the west. The south The south quarter of the land of Judah, which is toward the salt sea. The city of palm-trees Jericho, so called from the multitude of palm-trees which were in those parts, as Josephus and Strabo write. From whence, and the balm there growing, it was called Jericho, which signifies, odoriferous or sweet smelling.
