Ezekiel 48:28 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

The border of Gad; the south border of Gad. The border of the whole land southward. From Tamar: see Ezekiel 47:19. To the river; Sihor, say some; but if Sihor be the Nile, as Ortelius makes it, it cannot be the boundary: it is indeed a river that ariseth, as some place it, out of the north part of the mountains of Paran, and running a course west from its rise, passeth between Gerar and Rhino-curuva, and after some twenty-eight or thirty miles travel falls into the great sea, better known in Scripture by the name of the river of Egypt. But possibly the true rise may be from Mount Carmel and Gozen, whence it may be some forty miles English to the great sea.

Ezekiel 48:28

28 And by the border of Gad, at the south side southward, the border shall be even from Tamar unto the waters of strifea in Kadesh, and to the river toward the great sea.
