Clarke's Commentary on the Bible

From Tamar - in Kadesh - The former was on the south of the Dead Sea; and the latter, or Kadesh-Barnea, was still farther south, and at the extremity of the portion of Gad, which was the most southern tribe, as Dan was the most northern.


Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible

And by the border of Gad, at the south side southward,.... Of the sanctuary of the Lord, of the portion of the priests and Levites, of the city, and what belonged to that, and of the prince's portion. The description begins at the northern part of the land, and ends in the southern:

the border shall be even from Tamar unto the waters of strife in Kadesh; and to the river toward the great sea; See Gill on Ezekiel 47:19.


Geneva Study Bible

And by the border of Gad, at the south side southward, the {f} border shall be even from {g} Tamar to the waters of strife in Kadesh, and to the {h} river toward the great sea.

(f) Which is here taken for Idumea.

(g) Which was Jericho the city of palm trees.

(h) Meaning, the Nile that runs into the sea called the Mediterranean.

strife...: or, Meribahkadesh


Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

48:1-35 Here is a description of the several portions of the land belonging to each tribe. In gospel times, behold all things are become new. Much is wrapped up in emblems and numbers. This method God has used to state mysterious truths in his word, not to be more clearly revealed till the proper time and season. But into the church of Christ, both in its state of warfare and triumph, there is free access by faith, from every side. Christ has opened the kingdom of heaven for all believers. Whoever will, may come, and take of the water of life, of the tree of life, freely. The Lord is there, in his church, to be nigh unto them in all they call upon him for. This is true of every real Christian; whatever soul has in it a living principle of grace, it may truly be said, The Lord is there. May we be found citizens of this holy city, and act agreeably to that character; and have the benefit of the Lord's presence with us, in life, in death, and for evermore.
