ExplanationCommentary
Verse 24. Beyond. Hebrew “on the side of,” without determining on which. Deuteronomy 1.—Thaphsa. The famous Thapsacus, on the Euphrates.—To Gazan. Hebrew Hazza. This name is written in a different manner from Gaza, and may signify a country of the Medes, on the frontiers of Armenia. But, as it is pronounced almost alike and the parallel passage determines for the country of the Philistines, (verse 21,) we may explain it of Gaza. Calmet.
