The boundaries of ancient Israel grew and shrunk depending on the historical period. At its largest, Israel's eastern limit of rule was the Euphrates. This was in the times of King David and Solomon, when the Israelites were the most Torah-observant and God gave them the greatest success.
At its smallest, when it was called Judea, it was perhaps one-half of its present size.
The Torah itself gives more than one size for Israel. The boundaries in Numbers ch.34 are the minimum which they were commanded to take and settle. The area described in Genesis ch.15, however, is the maximum, which God would give the Israelites if and when they are fully deserving (see also Deuteronomy 19:8).
