This boundary begins where the river falls into the Mediterranean, a little south of Gaza; this the south point of the western boundary, and the line runs all along the seashore northward, till you come in a straight line to Hamath; and this is the northern point of the west frontier, over right Sidon, or little differing.

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
this is the west side; of the land, and of the western border of it.

“And the west side shall be the Great Sea, from the south border as far as opposite the entering in of Hamath (or Lebo-hamath). This is the west side.”
The west boundary is simply the Great (Mediterranean) Sea between the north and south boundaries. For these boundaries compare Num 34:3-12 and 1Ki 8:65.
