Contextual Overview
13 "Adonai Elohim says this: ‘These are the borders of the land you are to distribute for inheritance by the twelve tribes of Isra'el, with Yosef receiving two portions. 14 For inheritance you will each have equal shares. I swore to your ancestors that I would give them this land, and now it falls to you to inherit it. 15 "‘The borders of the land will be as follows: on the north, from the Great Sea through Hetlon to the entrance of Tz'dad, 16 Hamat, Berotah, Sibrayim (which is between the border of Dammesek and the border of Hamat), Hatzer-Hatikhon (which is toward the border of Havran). 17 The border from the sea will be Hatzar-‘Einon (at the border of Dammesek); while on the north, northward, is the border of Hamat. This is the north side. 18 "‘On the east side, measure between Havran and Dammesek, Gil‘ad and the land of Isra'el by the Yarden, from the border to the eastern sea. This is the east side. 19 "‘On the side of the Negev toward the south it will be from Tamar as far as the waters of M'rivot-Kadesh, then to the Vadi [of Egypt] and on to the Great Sea. This is the south side toward the Negev. 20 "‘The west side will be the Great Sea, as far as across from the entrance to Hamat. This is the west side. 21 "‘This is the territory you are to divide among the tribes of Isra'el. 22 You are to divide it by lot as an inheritance both to you and to the foreigners living among you who give birth to children living among you; for you they are to be no different from the native-born among the people of Isra'el — they are to have an inheritance with you among the tribes of Isra'el.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the south side southward from Tamar,.... Not Jericho, as the Targum, Jarchi, and Kimchi, called by this name from the palm trees which grew near it; according to Jerom, this is Palmyra, so called for the same reason; but it is rather Engedi, called Hazazontamar,
2 Chronicles 20:2, the line of the southern border began here, and went on,
even to the waters of strife in Kadesh; to the waters of Meribah in Kadesh; so called, from the strivings of the children of Israel with the Lord there, Numbers 20:1:
the river to the great sea; it proceeded by the river of Egypt, the river Sihor, the Nile, which is before Egypt, Joshua 13:3 and so on to the Mediterranean sea:
and this is the south side southward; the south side of the land, and the southern border of it.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The south border (compare Numbers 34:4) commences with “Tamar,” probably a village near the southern end of the Dead Sea. The word means “palm-tree;” and is given to more than one city in the holy land.
The river to the great sea - literally, “riverward to the great sea.” By the “river” is meant the torrent-stream entering the Mediterranean near “Rhinocolura” (El Arish).
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Ezekiel 47:19. Tamar — Called Hazazon Tamar, or Engedi, 2 Chronicles 20:2.
The river — Besor, which runs into the sea near Gaza.
