Commentary on the Bible · Written before 1832.

From the river - Euphrates, which was on the east, to the uttermost sea - the Mediterranean, which lay westward of the promised land. This promise, notwithstanding the many provocations of the Israelites, was fulfilled in the time of Solomon, for “he reigned over all the kings from the river (Euphrates) even unto the land of the Philistines, and to the border of Egypt.” See 2Ch 9:26, and the note, Num 34:12 (note).

Every place where the sole of your foot treads

on Deuteronomy 11:24-25

The promise gives the span Genesis 15:18 gave Abram, and it runs wider than Israel ever held. Joshua 13:1 says much land remained, and 1 Kings 4:21 has Solomon ruling from the river to Egypt's border, the nearest it came.

Every place - Not absolutely, as the Rabbins fondly conceit, but in the promised land, as it is restrained in the following words; either by possession, or by dominion, namely, upon condition of your obedience. The wilderness - Of Sin, on the south-side. To Lebanon - Which was on the north border.
Every place wherein the soles of your feet shall tread,....
