Joshua 18:15-23 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

15. But to the south, the border goes on from the part of Kiriath-jearim toward the sea, and it continues as far as the Fountain of the waters of Nephtoah.

16. And it descends to that part of the mountain which looks out toward the Valley of the sons of Hinnom. And it is opposite the northern region, in the furthest part of the Valley of the Rephaim. And it descends into Geennom, (that is, the Valley of Hinnom,) near the side of the Jebusite toward the south. And it extends to the Fountain of Rogel,

17. crossing from there to the north, and going out to En-Shemesh, that is, to the Fountain of the Sun.

18. And it passes through to the hills that are opposite the region of the Ascent of Adummim. And it descends to Abenboen, that is, so the stone of Bohan, the son of Reuben. And it continues on, at the northern side, to the plains. And it descends into the flatlands.

19. And it advances before Beth-hoglah, to the north. And its exits are to the north, opposite the bay of the very salty sea, in the southern region at the end of the Jordan,

20. which is its border to the east. This is the possession of the sons of Benjamin, with their borders all around, and by their families.

21. And their cities were: Jericho and Beth-hoglah and the Abrupt Valley,

22. Beth-arabah and Zemaraim and Bethel,

23. and Avvim and Parah and Ophrah,
