Joshua 15:5-9
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
5 The eastern boundary was the Salt Sea as far as the mouth of the Jordan.
The northern boundary climbed northward from the tongue of the sea, toward the mouth of the Jordan, 6 (A)up to Beth-hoglah, and ran north of Beth-arabah, up to Eben-Bohan-ben-Reuben. 7 Thence the boundary climbed to Debir, north of the Valley of Achor,(B) in the direction of the Gilgal that faces the pass of Adummim, on the south side of the wadi; from there it crossed to the waters of En-shemesh and emerged at En-rogel. 8 Climbing again to the Valley of Ben-hinnom[a] on the southern flank of the Jebusites (that is, Jerusalem), the boundary rose to the top of the mountain at the northern end of the Valley of Rephaim,(C) which bounds the Valley of Hinnom on the west. 9 From the top of the mountain it ran to the fountain of waters of Nephtoah,(D) extended to the cities of Mount Ephron, and continued to Baalah, or Kiriath-jearim.

Joshua 15:5-9
New International Version
5 The eastern boundary(A) is the Dead Sea(B) as far as the mouth of the Jordan.
The northern boundary(C) started from the bay of the sea at the mouth of the Jordan, 6 went up to Beth Hoglah(D) and continued north of Beth Arabah(E) to the Stone of Bohan(F) son of Reuben. 7 The boundary then went up to Debir(G) from the Valley of Achor(H) and turned north to Gilgal,(I) which faces the Pass of Adummim south of the gorge. It continued along to the waters of En Shemesh(J) and came out at En Rogel.(K) 8 Then it ran up the Valley of Ben Hinnom(L) along the southern slope of the Jebusite(M) city (that is, Jerusalem(N)). From there it climbed to the top of the hill west of the Hinnom Valley(O) at the northern end of the Valley of Rephaim.(P) 9 From the hilltop the boundary headed toward the spring of the waters of Nephtoah,(Q) came out at the towns of Mount Ephron and went down toward Baalah(R) (that is, Kiriath Jearim).(S)
