<strong>Keil</strong> and <strong>Delitzsch</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>Commentary</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>on</strong> the Old Testament<br />
<br />
salt sea, namely, from the t<strong>on</strong>gue which turneth to the south," i.e., from the southern<br />
point of the Dead Sea, which is now a salt marsh.<br />
Verse 3-4. Thence it proceeded "to the southern boundary of the ascent of<br />
Akrabbim," i.e., the row of lofty whitish cliffs which intersects the Arabah about<br />
eight miles below the Dead Sea (see at Num 34:4), "and passed across to Zin," i.e.,<br />
the Wady Murreh (see at Num 13:21), "and went up to the south of Kadesh-barnea,"<br />
i.e., by Ain Kudes (see at Num 20:16), "and passed over to Hezr<strong>on</strong>, and went up to<br />
Adar, and turned to Karkaa, and went over to Azm<strong>on</strong>, and went out into the brook of<br />
Egypt," i.e., the Wady el Arish. On the probable situati<strong>on</strong> of Hezr<strong>on</strong>, Adar, Karkaa ,<br />
and Azm<strong>on</strong> , see at Num 34:4-5. "And the outgoings of the boundary were to the sea"<br />
(the Mediterranean). The Wady el Arish, a marked boundary, takes first of all a<br />
northerly and then a north-westerly course, and opens into the Mediterranean Sea (see<br />
Pent. p. 358). haayaah (OT:1961) in the singular before the subject in the plural must<br />
not be interfered with (see Ewald , §316, a. ). - The words "this shall be your south<br />
coast" point back to the southern boundary of Canaan as laid down in Num 34:2ff.,<br />
and show that the southern boundary of the tribe-territory of Judah was also the<br />
southern boundary of the land to be taken by Israel.<br />
5a. "The eastern boundary was the salt sea to the end of the Jordan," i.e., the Dead<br />
Sea, in all its length up to the point where the Jordan entered it.<br />
5b-11. In vv. 5b-11 we have a descripti<strong>on</strong> of the northern boundary, which is<br />
repeated in Josh 18:15-19 as the southern boundary of Benjamin, though in the<br />
opposite directi<strong>on</strong>, namely, from west to east. It started "from the t<strong>on</strong>gue of the (salt)<br />
sea, the end (i.e., the mouth) of the Jordan, and went up to Beth-hagla," - a border<br />
town between Judah and Benjamin, which was afterwards allotted to the latter (Josh<br />
18:19,12), the present Ain Hajla , an hour and a quarter to the south-east of Riha<br />
(Jericho), and three-quarters of an hour from the Jordan (see at Gen 50:11, note) -<br />
"and went over to the north side of Beth-arabah," a town in the desert of Judah (v.<br />
61), afterwards assigned to Benjamin (Josh 18:22), and called Ha-arabah in ch.<br />
