Joshua 15:2
15:2 And their south border was from the shore of the salt sea,
     from the {a} bay that looketh southward:

     (a) The Hebrew word signifies tongue, by which it means
         either the arm of the sea that comes into the land, or
         a rock, or cape that goes into the sea.

Joshua 15:5
15:5 And the east border [was] the salt sea, [even] unto the {b}
     end of Jordan. And [their] border in the north quarter
     [was] from the bay of the sea at the uttermost part of
     Jordan:

     (b) Meaning the mouth of the river where it runs into the
         Salt sea.

Joshua 15:6
15:6 And the border went up to Bethhogla, and passed along by
     the north of Betharabah; and the border went up to the {c}
     stone of Bohan the son of Reuben:

     (c) Which was a mark to part their countries.

Joshua 15:11
15:11 And the border went out unto the side of Ekron northward:
      and the border was drawn to Shicron, and passed along to
      mount Baalah, and went out unto Jabneel; and the goings
      out of the border were at the {d} sea.

      (d) Meaning, toward Syria.

Joshua 15:14
15:14 And Caleb {e} drove thence the three sons of Anak,
      Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai, the children of Anak.

Joshua 15:18
15:18 And it came to pass, as she came [unto him], that she
      moved him to ask of her father a field: {f} and she
      lighted off [her] ass; and Caleb said unto her, What
      wouldest thou?

      (f) Because her husband tarried too long.

Joshua 15:19
15:19 Who answered, Give me a blessing; for thou hast given me a
      south land; {g} give me also springs of water. And he gave
      her the upper springs, and the nether springs.

      (g) Because her country was barren, she wanted a field
          that had springs from her father. Judges 1:14,15.

15:62 And Nibshan, and the {l} city of Salt, and Engedi; six
      cities with their villages.

Joshua 15:63
15:63 As for the Jebusites the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the
      children of Judah could not drive them {m} out: but the
      Jebusites dwell with the children of Judah at Jerusalem
      unto this day.

      (m) That is, utterly, though they slew the most part, and
          burnt their city, Judges 1:8.
