Also the East border shall be the salt Sea, unto the [a]end of Jordan: and the border on the North quarter from the point of the Sea, and from the end of Jordan.

And this border goeth up to Beth Hoglah, and goeth along by the North side of Beth Arabah: so the border from thence goeth up to the [b]stone of Bohan the son of Reuben.

Again this border goeth up to Debir from the valley of Achor, and Northward, turning toward Gilgal, that lieth before the going unto Adummim, which is on the South side of the river: also this border goeth up to the waters of [c]En Shemesh, and endeth at (A)En Rogel.
