Commentary for Numbers 34:5

וְנָסַ֧ב הַגְּב֛וּל מֵעַצְמ֖וֹן נַ֣חְלָה מִצְרָ֑יִם וְהָי֥וּ תוֹצְאֹתָ֖יו הַיָּֽמָּה׃

and the border shall turn about from Azmon unto the Brook of Egypt, and the goings out thereof shall be at the Sea.

Rashi on Numbers

והיו תוצאותיו הימה AND ITS GOINGS OUT SHALL BE AT THE SEA i.e. at the western boundary, because the southern border does not extend any more west of there and further on.

נחלה מצרים, “to the stream of Egypt.” This means: “to the river dividing Egypt from Palestine,” and not to the river Nile.
