Commentary

From thence it passed towards Azmon, and went out unto the river of Egypt,.... In like manner is this coast desc ribed, Num 34:5 ; it is called by Jerom (x) Asemona, and said to be a city in the desert, to the south of Judah, dividing Egypt, and the lot of the tribe of Judah, leading to the sea: and the outgoings of that coast were at the sea; the Mediterranean sea; or to the west, as the Targum; this was the utmost border of the tribe of Judah this way: this shall be your south coast; of the lot that fell to the tribe of Judah. (x) De loc. Heb. fol. 87. K.
