Numbers 34:5

34:5 There the border will turn from Azmon to the Brook of Egypt, and then its direction is to the sea. ¹ 

Joshua 15:4

15:4 It then crossed to Azmon, extended to the Stream of Egypt, ²  and ended at the sea. This was their ³  southern border.

Isaiah 27:12

27:12 At that time ⁴  the Lord will shake the tree, ⁵  from the Euphrates River ⁶  to the Stream of Egypt. Then you will be gathered up one by one, O Israelites. ⁷ 

[34:5]  ¹ sn That is, the Mediterranean.

[15:4]  ² tn Traditionally “the Brook of Egypt,” although a number of recent translations have “the Wadi of Egypt” (cf. NAB, NIV, NRSV).

[15:4]  ³ tn The translation follows the LXX at this point. The MT reads, “This will be your southern border.”

[27:12]  ⁴ tn Heb “and it will be in that day.” The verb that introduces this verse serves as a discourse particle and is untranslated; see note on “in the future” in 2:2.

[27:12]  ⁵ tn Heb “the Lord will beat out.” The verb is used of beating seeds or grain to separate the husk from the kernel (see Judg 6:11; Ruth 2:17; Isa 28:27), and of beating the olives off the olive tree (Deut 24:20). The latter metaphor may be in view here, where a tree metaphor has been employed in the preceding verses. See also 17:6.

[27:12]  ⁶ tn Heb “the river,” a frequent designation in the OT for the Euphrates. For clarity most modern English versions substitute the name “Euphrates” for “the river” here.

[27:12]  ⁷ sn The Israelites will be freed from exile (likened to beating the olives off the tree) and then gathered (likened to collecting the olives).
