Midrash sur Les Nombres 34:6

וּגְב֣וּל יָ֔ם וְהָיָ֥ה לָכֶ֛ם הַיָּ֥ם הַגָּד֖וֹל וּגְב֑וּל זֶֽה־יִהְיֶ֥ה לָכֶ֖ם גְּב֥וּל יָֽם׃

Pour la frontière occidentale, c’est la grande mer qui vous en tiendra lieu: telle sera pour vous la frontière occidentale.

Sifrei Devarim

"until the western sea"; but the sea (itself) is not your border. But if you conquered (outside of Eretz Yisrael near the sea), then the sea itself is your border. And thus is it written (Bamidbar 34:6) "And (what is) the western border? The Great Sea (the Mediterranean) and the bounds (i.e., the islands within it) shall be for you. This shall be the western border for you." We find, then, that every place that those who came up from Bavel seized from Eretz Yisrael until Keziv — (the fruits of shevi'ith) are not eaten and (the land) is not worked. Those who came up from Egypt — (the fruits) are eaten, but (the land) is not worked, (by rabbinical enactment).
