Ibn Ezra on Numbers 34:6/אבן עזרא על במדבר ל״ד:ו׳

אהים הגדול. הספרדי והטעם גבול מערב נחלתכם והיה הים הגדול והוא הגבול בעצמו:

1THE GREAT SEA. The Spanish sea.⁵ The meaning of our verse is: And the Great Sea shall be your western border.⁶. This should be rendered, and for the western border not, and the sea. The word yam can mean either the sea or the west. Hence I.E.’s comment. The Great Sea itself shall serve as the border.⁷
