all Naphtali
The mention of Naphtali refers to one of the tribes of Israel, descended from Naphtali, the son of Jacob and Bilhah. In the Hebrew context, "Naphtali" (נַפְתָּלִי) signifies "my struggle" or "wrestling," reflecting the struggles and triumphs of this tribe throughout Israel's history. The land of Naphtali was located in the northern part of Israel, known for its fertile land and strategic location. This phrase highlights God's promise to the descendants of Jacob, showcasing the fulfillment of His covenant with the patriarchs.

the land of Ephraim and Manasseh
Ephraim and Manasseh were the sons of Joseph, and their inheritance was significant in the Promised Land. The Hebrew names "Ephraim" (אֶפְרָיִם) and "Manasseh" (מְנַשֶּׁה) mean "fruitful" and "causing to forget," respectively. These names reflect the blessings and challenges faced by these tribes. Ephraim became a dominant tribe in the northern kingdom, while Manasseh's territory was vast, spanning both sides of the Jordan River. This phrase underscores the continuity of God's blessings from Joseph to his sons, emphasizing the faithfulness of God in fulfilling His promises to the tribes of Israel.

all the land of Judah
Judah, meaning "praise" in Hebrew (יְהוּדָה), was the tribe from which King David and ultimately Jesus Christ descended. The land of Judah was central to Israel's history, encompassing Jerusalem, the spiritual and political heart of the nation. This phrase signifies the importance of Judah in God's redemptive plan, highlighting the tribe's role in the lineage of the Messiah and the establishment of God's kingdom on earth.

as far as the Western Sea
The "Western Sea" refers to the Mediterranean Sea, which marked the western boundary of the Promised Land. In Hebrew, the term "yam" (יָם) is used for "sea," symbolizing vastness and boundary. This phrase indicates the extent of the land God promised to the Israelites, from the eastern desert to the western sea, showcasing the breadth of God's provision and the fulfillment of His promise to Abraham regarding the land his descendants would inherit.

Verses 2-4. - Unto the utmost sea; rather, the hinder sea, viz. the Mediterranean (cf. Deuteronomy 11:24). The south; the Negeb, the pasture-land in the south, towards the Arabian desert. The plain of the valley of Jericho; the extensive plain through which the Jordan flows, extending from Jericho to Zoar, at the south end of the Dead Sea. This wide prospect could not be surveyed by any ordinary power of vision; so that Moses must for the occasion have had his power of vision miraculously increased. There is no ground for supposing that he saw the scene in an ecstatic vision, and not with his bodily eyes.
