24. Every place whereon the soles of your feet shall tread shall be yours--not as if the Jews should be lords of the world, but of every place within the promised land. It should be granted to them and possessed by them, on conditions of obedience:
      from the wilderness--the Arabah on the south;
      Lebanon--the northern limit;
      Euphrates--their boundary on the east. Their grant of dominion extended so far, and the right was fulfilled to Solomon.
      even unto the uttermost sea--the Mediterranean.
