Where is Great_Sea in the Bible?
The Great Sea in the Bible refers to the Mediterranean Sea, which bordered the western edge of the Promised Land in ancient Israel. Also called the Sea of the Philistines, it is mentioned throughout the Old Testament as a geographical boundary, particularly in the books of Exodus, Numbers, and Joshua. The Great Sea marked the westernmost limit of the territory God promised to the Israelites, as described in passages like Numbers 34:6-7 and Joshua 1:4. This body of water was significant to Israel's early history, as it separated the Promised Land from the Mediterranean world beyond and was home to the seafaring Philistines who frequently encountered the Israelites.
