“From thence it passed toward Azmon, and went out unto the river of Egypt; and the goings out of that coast were at the sea: this shall be your south coast.”
Southern boundary conclusion — Then it went on to Azmon, and went out unto the river of Egypt (וַיִּשְׁמְרוּ אֶת־נַחַל־מִצְרַיִם): and the goings out of that coast were at the sea. This on the south coast. The southern boundary continues to Azmon and concludes at the River of Egypt (Nahal Mitzrayim, likely the Wadi el-Arish, the traditional southern border of Canaan). The phrase 'the goings out of that coast were at the sea' indicates the southern boundary ends where it meets the Mediterranean.
