Joshua 15:5

The E. Frontier, viz. the Dead Sea.

5-11. The N. Frontier. Cp. the account in Joshua 18:15 of the S. Frontier of Benjamin. This is by far the most complicated of the four frontiers, but its line can be fairly well traced. It leaves the Jordan some 4 m. N. of the Dead Sea, and runs W., then SW. past Jerusalem, W. again near Bethlehem, and NW. as it descends to the maritime plain.
