Joshua 15:2

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 15:2

From the bay that looketh southward - These were the southern limits of the tribe of Judah, which commenced at the extremity of the lake Asphaltites or Dead Sea, and terminated at Sihor or the river of Egypt, and Mediterranean Sea; though some think it extended to the Nile.
