2. In
(Numbers 34:5) (R.V., "brook of Egypt") the Hebrew word is nahal,
denoting a stream flowing rapidly in winter, or in the rainy
season. This is a desert stream on the borders of Egypt. It is
now called the Wady el-'Arish. The present boundary between
Egypt and Palestine is about midway between this wady and Gaza.
(See)
(Numbers 34:5; Joshua 15:4,47; 1 Kings 8:65; 2 Kings 24:7; Isaiah 27:12)
(Ezekiel 47:19) In all these passages the R.V. has "brook" and the
A.V. "river.".
