4 From thence it passed toward Azmon. and went out unto the river of Egypt; and the goings out of that coast were at the sea: this shall be your south coast.

5 And the east border was the salt sea, even unto the end of Jordan: and their border in the north quarter was from the bay of the sea at the uttermost part of Jordan:

6 And the border went up to c Beth-hogla, and passed along by the north of Beth-arabah; and the border went up to the stone d of Bohan the son of Reuben:

7 And the border went up toward Debir from the valley of Achor, e and so northward, looking toward Gilgal, fthat is before the going up to Adummin, which is on the south side of the river: and the border passed toward the waters of Enshemesh, and the goings out thereof were at g En-rogel:

8 And the border went up by the valley of the son of Hinnom hunto the south side of the Jebusite; the same is i Jerusalem: and the border went up to the top of the mountain that lieth before the valley of Hinnom westward, which is at the end of the valley of the giants k northward:

9 And the border was drawn from the top of the hill unto the fountain of the water of Nephtoah.

and went out to the cities of mount Ephron; and the border was drawn to Baalah, m which is Kirjath-jearim: n

10 And the border compassed from Baalah westward unto mount Seir, and passed along unto the side of mount Jearim (which is Chesalon) on the north side, and went down to Beth-shemesh, and passed on to Timnah: o

11 And the border went out unto the side of Ekron p northward: and the border was drawn to Shicron, and passed along to mount Baalah, and went out unto Jabneel; and the goings out of the border were
