The southern boundary of Israel's promised land, running from the Dead Sea to the Mediterranean Sea. Scripture repeatedly defines this waterway (likely the Wadi el-Arish) as the border between Israel and Egypt, established in the era of Joshua and reaffirmed during Solomon's reign. The brook marks the southern extent of the land God swore to give Abraham's descendants.
