And if the Lord thy God enlarge thy coast, etc.] Extend it further than it was upon their first settlement, even carry it as far as the river Euphrates, as in the times of Solomon, (<110421>1 Kings 4:21,24). Jarchi interprets it of such an enlargement as to give them the land of the Kenites, the Kenizzites and Kadmonites: (as he hath sworn unto thy fathers), and give thee all the land which he promised to give unto thy, fathers: Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; (see <011519> Genesis 15:19 26:3,4 28:13,14).
