Of Dan And the border of the Amorites The term "Amorites" refers to a group of ancient people frequently mentioned in the Old Testament. The Hebrew root for "Amorites" is "אֱמֹרִי" (Emori), which is often associated with the inhabitants of the hill country. Historically, the Amorites were known as a powerful and influential group in the ancient Near East, often seen as adversaries to the Israelites. Their presence in the land represents the ongoing struggle between the Israelites and the native Canaanite tribes. The "border" signifies the territorial limits, indicating the extent of Amorite influence and control, which the Israelites were commanded to overcome as part of God's promise to give them the land. extended from the Ascent of Akrabbim to Sela and beyond From the going up to Akrabbim.--The same as Maaleh Akrabbim (Joshua 15:3), and "the ascent of scorpions" (Numbers 34:4), probably the Wady-es-Zuweirah (De Saulcy, La Terre Sainte, i. 528), where scorpions abound to this day under every stone; or the Wady-es-Sufah. Robinson supposes it to be the line of rocks which crosses the Jordan valley at right angles, eleven miles south of the Dead Sea (Bibl. Res. Ii. 120). It is the Akrabattine of 1 Maccabees 5:3.

See Joshua 15:3, Maaleh-acrabbim. In Numbers 34:4 "the ascent of Akrabbim." The whole name, put into English, is "the ascent, or going up, of Scorpions," a mountain pass so called from the abundance of scorpions found in the whole region. The exact locality is uncertain, but it is thought to be the pass El-Safeh, immediately to the south of the Dead Sea. The neighbourhood to Mount Hor and Petra is indicated by its connection here with "the rock," in Hebrew has-selah, which is the distinctive name of the rocks or cliffs on which Petra is built, and the name of Petra (the rock) itself. Speaking roughly, a line drawn westward from El-Safeh to the Mediterranean Sea, near the "river of Egypt," formed the southern boundary, of Judah, and of the Amorites whom they displaced. The battle with the Amorites (Deuteronomy 1:44), in which the Israelites were discomfited and pursued, is thought to have been at El-Safeh.
