Joshua 18:16

WEB

The border went down to the farthest part of the mountain that lies before the valley of the son of Hinnom, which is in the valley of Rephaim northward. It went down to the valley of Hinnom, to the side of the Jebusite southward, and went down to En Rogel.

KJV

And the border came down to the end of the mountain that lieth before the valley of the son of Hinnom, and which is in the valley of the giants on the north, and descended to the valley of Hinnom, to the side of Jebusi on the south, and descended to Enrogel,

Commentary

And the border came down,.... In the description of the border of Judah, hereabout, it is said to go up, Jos 15:5 ; because there, as Jarchi observes, the measure was from east to west, but here from west to east: to the end of the mountain that lieth before the valley of the son of Hinnom; this south border of Benjamin is the same with the north border of Judah; and the same places are mentioned in the description of the one as of the other, see Jos 15:8 . The mountain is Mount Moriah, and which is in the valley of the giants on the north; on the north of the valley of Rephaim: and descended to the valley of Hinnom; the border from the end of Mount Moriah to that valley: to the side of Jebusi on the south; to the south side of Jerusalem, having that city on the south: and descended to Enrogel; of which See Gill on Jos 15:7 .
