The northern boundary — And the border was drawn from the top of the mountain unto the fountain of the waters of Nephtoah, and went out to the cities of mount Ephron; and the border was drawn to Baalah, which is Kirjath-jearim. The boundary continues northward, passing Nephtoah and Mount Ephron (likely near modern Lifta). It reaches Baalah, identified as Kirjath-jearim (one of the Gibeonite cities allied with Israel). The northern boundary is carefully traced through geographic features.
