JOSHUA 18:19 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And the border passed along to the side of Beth–hoglah northward: and the outgoings of the border were at the north bay of the salt sea at the south end of Jordan: this was the south coast.”
Then the border passes along the north side of Beth-hoglah, and the border ends at the northern bay of the Salt Sea, at the south end of the Jordan. This is the east side — Beth-hoglah (house of the partridge) marks the western Arabah. The 'Salt Sea' (Dead Sea) bounds Benjamin's eastern limit. The 'south end of the Jordan' establishes the southern terminus of tribal inheritance. The east-side boundary confirms Benjamin's position as a central tribe, bounded east by the Jordan covenant boundary, west and north by other tribes, south by Judah.
