Commento su Giosuè 1:4
מֵהַמִּדְבָּר֩ וְהַלְּבָנ֨וֹן הַזֶּ֜ה וְֽעַד־הַנָּהָ֧ר הַגָּד֣וֹל נְהַר־פְּרָ֗ת כֹּ֚ל אֶ֣רֶץ הַֽחִתִּ֔ים וְעַד־הַיָּ֥ם הַגָּד֖וֹל מְב֣וֹא הַשָּׁ֑מֶשׁ יִֽהְיֶ֖ה גְּבוּלְכֶֽם׃
Dal deserto, e questo Libano, fino al grande fiume, il fiume Eufrate, tutta la terra degli Ittiti e fino al Grande Mare verso il tramonto del sole, sarà il tuo confine.
Rashi on Joshua
From the wilderness and this Lebanon. The wilderness refers to the wilderness of Kodeish, the wilderness of Tzin, which was adjacient to Edom which was to the south east, the direction from which they entered the land, as it is said: And behold we are in Kodeish.11Bamidbar 20:16. How do we know that it was southeast? It is said: ‘Your southern flank will be from the Tzin wilderness along Edom.’12Bamidbar 34:3.
