Joshua 15:2

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.

John Wesley's Notes

<< Joshua 15:1

Joshua 15:3 >>

The bay - Heb. the tongue: either a creek or arm of that sea; or a promontory, which by learned authors is sometimes called a tongue. Every sea is salt, but this had an extraordinary saltness, the effect of that fire and brimstone which destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah: the ruins of which lie buried at the bottom of this dead water, which never was moved itself by any tides, nor had any living thing in it.
