<li> In Numbers 34:5 [[(Rsv,]] "brook of Egypt") the [[Hebrew]] word is <i> Nahal </i> , Denoting a stream flowing rapidly in winter, or in the rainy season. This is a desert stream on the borders of Egypt. It is now called the [[Wady]] el-'Arish. The present boundary between Egypt and [[Palestine]] is about midway between this wady and Gaza. (See Numbers 34:5; Joshua 15:4,47; 1 Kings 8:65; 2 Kings 24:7; Isaiah 27:12; Ezekiel 47:19 .

The S.W. border of the promised land was to be from 'the river of Egypt.' Genesis 15:18 . Here the word is nahar, and would seem to allude to the most eastern branch of the Delta of the Nile, called the Pelusiac mouth.
