Joshua 18:19 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 18:19

And the border passed along to the side of Bethhoglah
northward
Inclining somewhat toward the north, but not leaving the city to the north, for it is included in the lot of Benjamin, ( Joshua 18:21 ) ; of which place see ( Joshua 15:6 ) ;

and the outgoings of the border were at the north bay of the salt
sea;
here ended the southern border of Benjamin, even at the bay or creek of the salt sea, which looked northward, as the southern border of Judah began at that bay of it, which looked southward, ( Joshua 15:2 ) ;

at the south end of Jordan;
where it fell into the salt sea:

this [was] the south coast;
as before described.
