Praise him, all the seas and everything in them! 35 For God will save Jerusalem; he rebuilds the cities of Judah.

Genesis 15:18 On the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying: "To your descendants I have given this land, from the river* of Egypt (the Nile)  [Wadi-el-Arish - TLB] to the great river, the River Euphrates- KJV, NIV, NASU *River OT:5104=nahar (naw-hawr'); a stream (including the sea; expec. the Nile, Euphrates, etc.); figuratively, prosperity: KJV - flood, river. (Biblesoft's New Exhaustive Strong's Numbers) Josh 13:1 When Joshua was old and well advanced in years, the LORD said to him, "You are very old, and there are still very large areas of land to be taken over. 2 "This is the land that remains: all the regions of the Philistines and Geshurites: 3 from the Shihor River*1*2* on the east of Egypt to the territory of Ekron on the north, all of it counted as Canaanite (the territory of the five Philistine rulers in Gaza, Ashdod, Ashkelon, Gath and Ekron-that of the Avvites); NIV *1*Josh 13:3 Sihor is derived from a root signifying "to be black," and is suitable enough as an appellative of the Nile (Isa 23:3*). Here it most probably stands for "the river of Egypt."  (from Barnes' Notes, Electronic Database. Copyright (c) 1997 by Biblesoft) *2*[From Sihor, which is before Egypt] Supposed by some to be the Pelusiac branch of the Nile, near to the Arabian Desert; called also the river of Egypt, Num 34:5; Jer 2:18. On this subject an intelligent friend favours me with the following opinion:- "The river Sihor is supposed by some to be the Nile, or a branch of it. Others think it the same as what is frequently called the river of Egypt, which lay before or toward the borders of Egypt; which arose out of the mountains of Paran, and ran westward, falling into that bay of the Mediterranean which lies south of the land of the Philistines. This river is often mentioned as the boundary of the Israelites to the southwest, as Euphrates, the great river, was on the northeast. "There was a desert of considerable distance between what is called the river of Egypt and the isthmus of Suez. Solomon reigned to the borders of Egypt, i.e., to this desert; but not in Egypt, nor to the river Nile.
"Upon the whole, (though there are difficulties in the matter,) I incline to think that the river in question was not the Nile. Sihor (black) might, from some circumstances, be applied to another river as well as the Nile; though some places in Isaiah and Jeremiah seem to restrict it to the Nile."-J.C.

*Isa 23:2 Deathly silence is everywhere. Stillness reigns where once your hustling port was full of ships from Sidon, bringing merchandise from far across the ocean, from Egypt and along the Nile. You were the merchandise mart of the world. TLB Isa 11:12 He will raise a banner for the nations and gather the exiles of Israel; he will assemble the scattered people of Judah from the four quarters of the earth. 13 Ephraim's jealousy will vanish, and Judah's enemies will be cut off; Ephraim will not be jealous of Judah, nor Judah hostile toward Ephraim. 14 They will swoop down on the slopes of Philistia to the west; together they will plunder the people to the east. They will lay hands on Edom and Moab, and the Ammonites will be subject to them. 15 The LORD will dry up the gulf of the Egyptian sea; with a scorching wind he will sweep his hand over the Euphrates River. He will break it up into seven streams so that men can cross over in sandals. NIV 2 Sam 8:3 He also destroyed the forces of King Hadadezer (son of Rehob) of Zobah in a battle at the Euphrates River, for Hadadezer had attempted to regain his power. 4 David captured seventeen hundred cavalry and twenty thousand infantry; then he lamed all of the chariot horses except for one hundred teams. 5 He also slaughtered twenty-two thousand Syrians from Damascus when they came to help Hadadezer. 6 David placed several army garrisons in Damascus, and the Syrians became David's subjects and brought him annual tribute money. So the Lord gave him victories wherever he turned. 7 David brought the gold shields to Jerusalem which King Hadadezer's officers had used. 8 He also carried back to Jerusalem a very large amount of bronze from Hadadezer's cities of Betah and Berothai. TLB Psalms 72:8 8 May he reign from sea to sea, and from the Euphrates River to the ends of the earth.  9 Desert nomads will bow before him; his enemies will fall before him in the dust. 10 The western kings of Tarshish and the islands will bring him tribute.The eastern kings of Sheba and Seba will bring him gifts. 11 All kings will bow before him, and all nations will serve him. NLT
Psalms 80:11 We spread our branches west to the Mediterranean Sea, our limbs east to the Euphrates River. NLT
Edom 2 Sam 8:13 So David became very famous. After his return he destroyed eighteen thousand Edomites at the Valley of Salt, 14 and then placed garrisons throughout Edom, so that the entire nation was forced to pay tribute to Israel-another example of the way the Lord made him victorious wherever he went. TLB Ps 60:4 But you have given us a banner to rally to; all who love truth will rally to it; then you can deliver your beloved people. Use your strong right arm to rescue us. 6 God has promised to help us. He has vowed it by his holiness! No wonder I exult! "Shechem, Succoth, Gilead, Manasseh-still are mine!" he says. "Judah shall continue to produce kings, and Ephraim great warriors. 8 Moab shall become my lowly servant, and Edom my slave. And I will shout in triumph over the Philistines." Obad 19 Then my people who live in the Negeb shall occupy the hill country of Edom Along the Mediterranean CoastGaza in the Word of God Joshua 15:20;47 This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Judah according to their families... Ashdod with her towns and her villages, Gaza with her towns and her villages, unto the river of Egypt (the Nile), and the great sea, and the border thereof: KJV Judges 1:18 Also Judah took Gaza with its territory, Ashkelon with its territory, and Ekron with its territory. Ps 60:8 "... And I will shout in triumph over the Philistines." Obad 19 Then my people who live in the Negeb shall occupy the hill country of Edom; those living in Judean lowlands shall possess the Philistine plains and repossess the fields of Ephraim and Samaria. And the people of Benjamin shall possess Gilead. 20 The Israeli exiles shall return and occupy the Phoenician coastal strip as far north as Zarephath. Those exiled in Asia Minor shall return to their homeland and conquer the Negeb's outlying villages. 21 For deliverers will come to Jerusalem and rule all Edom. And the Lord shall be King! TLB

TLB Isa 11:11 At that time the Lord will bring back a remnant of his people for the second time, returning them to the land of Israel from Assyria, Upper and Lower Egypt, Ethiopia, Elam, Babylonia, Hamath, and all the distant coastal lands. 12 He will raise a flag among the nations for them to rally to; he will gather the scattered Israelites from the ends of the earth.TLB Isa 49:22 The Lord God says, "See, I will give a signal to the Gentiles, and they shall carry your little sons back to you in their arms, and your daughters on their shoulders.

It will be as though I had never cast them all away, for I, the Lord their God, will hear their cries. 7 They shall be like mighty warriors. They shall be happy as with wine. Their children, too, shall see the mercies of the Lord and be glad. Their hearts shall rejoice in the Lord. 8 When I whistle to them, they'll come running, for I have bought them back again. From the few that are left, their population will grow again to former size. 9 Though I have scattered them like seeds among the nations, still they will remember me and return again to God; with all their children, they will come home again to Israel. 10 I will bring them back from Egypt and Assyria and resettle them in Israel-in Gilead and Lebanon; there will scarcely be room for all of them! 11 They shall pass safely through the sea of distress, for the waves will be held back. The Nile will become dry-the rule of Assyria and Egypt over my people will end."
