- Vulgate (Clementine)
- Omnis locus, quem calcaverit pes vester, vester erit. A deserto, et a Libano, a flumine magno Euphrate usque ad mare occidentale erunt termini vestri.
- Septuagint (Swete)
- πάντα τὸν τόπον οὗ ἐὰν πατήσῃ τὸ ἴχνος τοῦ ποδὸς ὑμῶν, ὑμῖν ἔσται· ἀπὸ τῆς ἐρήμου καὶ Ἀντιλιβάνου, καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ ποταμοῦ τοῦ μεγάλου, ποταμοῦ Εὐφράτου, καὶ ἕως τῆς θαλάσσης τῆς ἐπὶ δυσμῶν ἔσται τὰ ὅριά σου.
- Hebrew (WLC)
- כָּל הַמָּק֗וֹם אֲשֶׁ֨ר תִּדְרֹ֧ךְ כַּֽף רַגְלְכֶ֛ם בּ֖וֹ לָכֶ֣ם יִהְיֶ֑ה מִן הַמִּדְבָּ֨ר וְהַלְּבָנ֜וֹן מִן הַנָּהָ֣ר נְהַר פְּרָ֗ת וְעַד֙ הַיָּ֣ם הָֽאַחֲר֔וֹן יִהְיֶ֖ה גְּבֻלְכֶֽם
Haydock's commentary
Yours. The nations of Chanaan, how strong soever, should fall, and their country be lawfully possessed by the Hebrews.
Western sea. Hebrew, "the sea of the back." The Jews speak of the different parts of the world, with respect to a man who has his face turned towards the east, Genesis xiii. 9. The countries, from the desert of Zin to the Euphrates, were never entirely occupied by the Israelites, except under the reigns of David and of Solomon. (Calmet)
God never intended to subject the whole world to their dominion, as the Rabbins would hence infer. (Menochius)
