The southern boundary. Read: "and the southside southward: from Tamar on to the waters of Meriboth-Kadesh, to the brook (of Egypt), and unto the great sea; this is the south side southward." The delimitation on the S. is more fully described Numbers 34:3-5; Joshua 15:1-4. There Kadesh is called Kadesh-Barnea, here Meriboth Kadesh (elsewhere Meribah), i.e. waters of strifeof Kadesh, Numbers 27:14. The brook of Egypt is the Wady el Arish. The line striking this brook follows its course to the sea.
