אַשְׁדּ֞וֹד בְּנוֹתֶ֣יהָ וַחֲצֵרֶ֗יהָ עַזָּ֥ה בְּנוֹתֶ֥יהָ וַחֲצֵרֶ֖יהָ עַד־נַ֣חַל מִצְרָ֑יִם וְהַיָּ֥ם הגבול [הַגָּד֖וֹל] וּגְבֽוּל׃ (ס)
Ashdod, its towns and its villages; Gaza, its towns and its villages; unto the Brook of Egypt, the Great Sea being the border thereof.
Rashi on Joshua
The Great Sea was the border. The islands in the sea.30Rashi teaches that the islands near the coast line were also part of the inheritance of Yehudah. Isles in old French.
