What Does Joshua 15:4 Mean?
The southern boundary reaches its end, running to the brook of Egypt (a seasonal streambed marking the frontier toward Egypt) and out to the Great Sea, the Mediterranean. The text pauses to declare plainly, this shall be your south coast.
The land that had been promised to Abraham, from the river of Egypt onward, is now being measured into Judah's hand. God's covenant is not forgotten with the passing of centuries. What He pledges in one generation He fulfills in another, and the borders here are the visible proof of an invisible faithfulness.
