Joshua 15:4

AzmonBrook of Egypt

2 Their southern border started at the bay on the southern tip of the Salt Sea,

3 proceeded south of the Ascent of Akrabbim, continued on to Zin, went over to the south of Kadesh-barnea, ran past Hezron up to Addar, and curved toward Karka.

It proceeded to Azmon, joined the Brook of Egypt, and ended at the Sea. This was their southern border.

5 The eastern border was the Salt Sea as far as the mouth of the Jordan. The northern border started from the bay of the sea at the mouth of the Jordan,

6 went up to Beth-hoglah, proceeded north of Beth-arabah, and went up to the Stone of Bohan son of Reuben.
