Exodus 23:31

Compare this place with Genesis 15:18 Numbers 34:3. The sea of the Philistines, i.e. the Mediterranean or midland sea, upon whose coast the land of the Philistines lay. The desert, of Egypt or Arabia; whereof see Genesis 16:7 Exodus 15:22. The river, to wit, Euphrates, as it is expressed Deuteronomy 1:7, Deuteronomy 11:24, which is oft called the river by way of eminency. All within these bounds were given them by God, but upon conditions, which they manifestly broke, and therefore were for the most part confined to a much narrower compass.
