Ge 15:16-21 Ex 23:31 Nu 34:3-12 Jos 24:15 Am 2:9

Verse 7. Go to the mount of the Amorites] On the south of the land of Canaan, towards the Dead Sea.

Land of the Canaanites] That is, Phoenicia, the country of Sidon, and the coasts of the Mediterranean Sea from the country of the Philistines to Mount Libanus. The Canaanites and Phoenicians are often confounded.

The river Euphrates] Thus Moses fixes the bounds of the land, to which on all quarters the territories of the Israelites might be extended, should the land of Canaan, properly so called, be found insufficient for them. Their SOUTH border might extend to the mount of the Amorites; their WEST to the borders of the Mediterranean Sea; their NORTH to Lebanon; and their EAST border to the river Euphrates: and to this extent Solomon reigned; see 1 Kings iv. 21. So that in his time, at least, the promise to Abraham was literally fulfilled; see below.

Ver. 7. Turn you and take your journey , etc.] That is, remove from Horeb, where they were, and proceed on in their journey, in which they had been stopped almost a year: and go to the mount of the Amorites ; where they and the Amalekites dwelt, in the south part of the land of Canaan, and which was the way the spies were sent, ( Numbers 13:17,29 14:40,43), and unto all the places nigh thereunto ; nigh to the mountain. The Targum of Jonathan and Jarchi interpret them of Moab, Ammon, Gebal, or Mount Seir: “in the plain, in the hills, and in the vale”; such was the country near this mountain, consisting of champaign land, hills, and valleys: and in the south ; the southern border of the land of Canaan, as what follows describes the other borders of it: and by the sea side : the Mediterranean sea, the western border of the land, which Jarchi out of Siphri explains of Ashkelon, Gaza, and Caesarea, and so the Targum of Jonathan: into the land of the Canaanites ; which was then possessed by them, the boundaries of which to the south and west are before given, and next follow those to the north and east: and unto Lebanon ; which was on the north of the land of Canaan: unto the great river, the river Euphrates ; which was the utmost extent of the land eastward, and was either promised, as it was to Abraham, ( Genesis 15:18) or enjoyed, as it was by Solomon, ( 1 Kings 4:21).
