The Land of Judah

1 So this was the1 lot of the tribe of the children of Judah according to their families: aThe border of Edom at the bWilderness of Zin southward was the extreme southern boundary.  
2 And their asouthern border began at the shore of the Salt Sea, from the bay that faces southward.  
3 Then it went out to the southern side of athe Ascent of Akrabbim, passed along to Zin, ascended on the south side of Kadesh Barnea, passed along to Hezron, went up to Adar, and went around to Karkaa.  
4 From there it passed atoward Azmon and went out to the Brook of Egypt; and the border ended at the sea. This shall be your southern border.  
5 The east border was the Salt Sea as far as the mouth of the Jordan. And the aborder on the northern quarter began at the bay of the sea at the mouth of the Jordan.

Joshua 15:3

Maaleh-acrabbim - The ascent of the Mount of Scorpions, probably so called from the multitude of those animals found in that place.

Kadesh-barnea - This place was called Enmishpat, Genesis 14:7. It was on the edge of the wilderness of Paran, and about twenty-four miles from Hebron. Here Miriam, the sister of Moses and Aaron, died; and here Moses and Aaron rebelled against the Lord; hence the place was called Meribah-Kadesh, or the contention of Kadesh.

Karkaa - Supposed to be the Coracea of Ptolemy, in Arabia Petraea. - Calmet.
