Deuteronomy 11:24 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

Every place whereon the soles of your feet shall tread shall be yours: from the wilderness and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates, even unto the uttermost sea shall your coast be.

Every place ... shall be yours - not as if the Jews should be lords of the world, but of every place within the promised land. It should be granted to them, and possessed by them, on condition of obedience.

From the wilderness - the Arabah, on the south. Lebanon - the northern limit.

Euphrates - their boundary on the east: their grant of dominion extended so far, and the right was fulfilled to Solomon.

Uttermost sea - the Mediterranean (cf. Joshua 1:3-4, which is almost a literal transcript of this passage).
