Territory of the Kingdom.

The land from the river of Egypt (the Nile) unto the great river—the River Euphrates—Gen. xv. 18. The contents of the land between these two rivers promised to Abraham and the Christ—Gal. iii. 16; for the kingdoms are indicated by the names of the tribes inhabiting it at the time the promise was made. Its frontiers are given in Ezekiel and Deut.—Ezek. xlvii. 13-21; Deut. i. 7, 8; xi. 24. The land is mine, saith the Lord—Lev. xxv. 23.
