18 Then it went on to the northern slope of Beth-arabah and went down into the valley.
The border continued to the northern slope of Beth-hoglah and came out at the northern bay of the Salt Sea, at the mouth of the Jordan. This was the southern border.
20 On the east side the border was the Jordan. These were the borders around the inheritance of the clans of the tribe of Benjamin.
21 These were the cities of the clans of the tribe of Benjamin: Jericho, Beth-hoglah, Emek-keziz,
Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
