Nun die Westgrenze: Das große [mittelländische] Meer am Ufer — das wird die Westgrenze sein.

Rashbam on Numbers
וגבול ים, as if the Torah had written an introductory line: “how was the westerly boundary?” [clearly, it is difficult to justify these two words. Ed.]

Rabbeinu Bahya
הים הגדול, “the Mediterranean,” known in the author’s time as “the Spanish Sea.” וגבול¸”and the western boundary.” The sea itself is the boundary. (Ibn Ezra).
