John Gill, on Ezek 47:19
John Gill · 1697–1771
Ezek 47:19 · Douay-Rheims
“And the south side southward is from Thamar even to the waters of contradiction of Cades: and the torrent even to the great sea: and this is the south side southward.”
On this verse:
“And the south side southward from Tamar,.... Not Jericho, as the Targum, Jarchi, and Kimchi, called by this name from the palm trees which grew near it; according to Jerom, this is Palmyra, so called for the same reason; but it is rather Engedi, called Hazazontamar, Ch2 20:2, the line of the southern border began here, and went on, even to the waters of strife in Kadesh; to the waters of Meribah in Kadesh; so called, from the strivings of the children of Israel with the Lord there, Num 20:1, the river to the great sea; it proceeded by the river of Egypt, the river Sihor, the Nile, which is before Egypt, Jos 13:3 and so on to the Mediterranean sea: and this is the south side southward; the south side of the land, and the southern border of it.”
