Joshua 15:3

3 egrediturque contra ascensum Scorpionis et pertransit in Sina ascenditque in Cadesbarne et pervenit in Esrom ascendens Addara et circumiens Caricaa

Joshua 15:3 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 15:3

And it went out to the south side of Maalehacrabbim
Or the ascent of Akrabbim, as it is called, (See Gill on Numbers 34:4):

and passed along to Zin, and ascended upon the south side unto
Kadeshbarnea;
which perfectly agrees with the southern border of the land, as described in ( Numbers 34:4 ) ;

and passed along to Hezron, and went up to Adar;
which two places being near to one another, as is very likely, are put together, as if one place, and called Hazaraddar, ( Numbers 34:4 ) ; and mention is made of Hezron, which is Hazor, ( Joshua 15:25 ) ; but not of Adar:

and fetched a compass to Karkaa;
which Jerom ^F23 calls Acchara, a village in the wilderness; and if the same with Carcaria, it was according to him a day's journey from Petra in Idumea; but that is not likely; see ( Judges 8:10 ) .

1 igitur sors filiorum Iudae per cognationes suas ista fuit a termino Edom desertum Sin contra meridiem et usque ad extremam partem australis plagae

2 initium eius a summitate maris Salsissimi et a lingua eius quae respicit meridiem

3 egrediturque contra ascensum Scorpionis et pertransit in Sina ascenditque in Cadesbarne et pervenit in Esrom ascendens Addara et circumiens Caricaa

4 atque inde pertransiens in Asemona et perveniens ad torrentem Aegypti eruntque termini eius mare Magnum hic erit finis meridianae plagae

5 ab oriente vero erit initium mare Salsissimum usque ad extrema Iordanis et ea quae respiciunt aquilonem a lingua maris usque ad eundem Iordanem fluvium
