The Concrete Western Border
Scholars like Ellicott and Gill clarify that this verse sets the western boundary of the envisioned land. The "great sea" is identified as the Mediterranean Sea, stretching from the southern border (mentioned in the previous verse) up to a point opposite the region of Hamath. This provides a concrete, geographical anchor for Ezekiel's prophetic vision.
