Every place whereon the soles of your feet shall tread shall be yours: from the wilderness and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates, even unto the uttermost sea shall your coast be.
Every place where you set foot will belong to you: from the wilderness and Lebanon, from the Euphrates River all the way to the Mediterranean Sea—all of this will be your territory.
God is promising the Israelites that wherever they walk in the Promised Land, that territory will become theirs to possess.
📚 Historical Context
Moses is speaking to the Israelites before they enter the Promised Land, describing the vast boundaries God has promised them. This territory stretched from the wilderness in the south to Lebanon in the north, and from the Euphrates River in the east to the Mediterranean Sea in the west. These boundaries represented an ideal that was never fully realized in Israel's history, though parts were achieved during King David and Solomon's reigns.
