Joshua 15:1-9 ▼

1 And the lot of the tribe of the sons of Judah by their clans was unto the border of Edom, the Wilderness of Zin southward from the end of the south:

2 And their southern border began at the shore of the Salt Sea, from the bay that faces southward.

3 And it went out to the southern side of the Ascent of Akrabbim, and passed over to Zin, and ascended from the Negev of Kadesh-barnea, and passed over to Hezron, and went up to Addar, and went around toward Karka.

4 And it passed toward Azmon, and went out to the Brook of Egypt, and the outgoings of the border were at the sea. This shall be their southern border.

5 And the eastern border was the Salt Sea, as far as the mouth of the Jordan. And the border began on the northern quarter at the bay of the sea at the mouth of the Jordan.

6 And the border went up to Beth-hoglah, and passed north of Beth-arabah, and the border went up to the stone of Bohan son of Reuben.

7 And the border went up to Debir from the Valley of Achor, and it turned northward toward Gilgal, which is before the Ascent of Adummim, which is on the south side of the ravine. And the border continued toward the waters of En-shemesh, and it ended at En-rogel.

8 And the border went up by the Valley of the Son of Hinnom to the southern slope of the Jebusite (that is, Jerusalem), and the border went up to the top of the hill that is upon the face of the Valley of the Son of Hinnom westward, which is at the end of the Valley of the Rephaim northward.

9 And the border went around from the top of the hill to the fountain of the waters of Nephtoah, and it went out to the cities of Mount Ephron, and the border went around to Baalah (that is, Kiriath-jearim).
