Joshua 15:9 - Forerunner Commentary

Joshua 15:9

7 Then the border went up toward ^aDebir from ^bthe Valley of Achor, and it turned northward toward Gilgal, which is before the Ascent of Adummim, which is on the south side of the valley. The border continued toward the waters of En Shemesh and ended at ^cEn Rogel.

8 And the border went up ^aby the Valley of the Son of Hinnom to the southern slope of the ^bJebusite city (which is Jerusalem). The border went up to the top of the mountain that lies before the Valley of Hinnom westward, which is at the end of the Valley ^cof Rephaim northward.

9 Then the border went around from the top of the hill to ^athe fountain of the water of Nephtoah, and extended to the cities of Mount Ephron. And the border went around ^bto Baalah (which is ^cKirjath Jearim).

10 Then the border¹ turned westward from Baalah to Mount Seir, passed along to the side of Mount Jearim on the north (which is Chesalon), went down to Beth Shemesh, and passed on to ^aTimnah.

11 And the border went out to the side of ^aEkron northward. Then the border went around to Shicron, passed along to Mount Baalah, and extended to Jabneel; and the border ended at the sea.

12 The west border was ^athe coastline of the Great Sea. This is the boundary of the children of Judah all around according to their families.
