The north bay of the Salt Sea - As the word לשון leshon signifies the tongue, it may here refer to the point of the Dead or Salt Sea. Of these tongues or points it had two, one on the north, and the other on the south.

TSK: Jos 18:19 - -- bay : Heb. tongue, Jos 15:2 *marg. Isa 11:15 the salt : Jos 3:16, Jos 12:3; Gen 14:3, Gen 19:25; Num 34:3; Deu 3:17 this was the : The borders of this...

bay : Heb. tongue, Jos 15:2 *marg. Isa 11:15

the salt : Jos 3:16, Jos 12:3; Gen 14:3, Gen 19:25; Num 34:3; Deu 3:17

this was the : The borders of this tribe on the north were the same as those of Ephraim on the south, and his southern boundaries the same as the northern borders of Judah; but drawn from west to east, instead of from east to west (Jos 15:1-12; Jos 16:1). As the inheritance of Benjamin did not extend to the Mediterranean sea, and no other sea or lake is known to have been in those parts, perhaps this depression, ""compassed the corner of the sea southward,""(Jos 18:14), should be rendered, ""made a circuit on the side next the sea towards the south;""for it seems to connect the northern border, in the preceding verses, with the southern which follows.

See the marginal references. There are many indications found in this and the next chapter that the text is in great disorder, and many of the places are still unknown.

Jos 18:14

And compassed the corner ... - Render "and turned on the west side southward."The meaning is, that at lower Beth-horon the northern boundary-line of Benjamin curved round and ran southward - Beth-horon being its extreme westerly point.

Jos 18:21

The "Valley of Keziz,"or "Emek-Keziz,"is perhaps the "Wady el Kaziz,"at no great distance east of Jerusalem.

Jos 18:22

Zemaraim, i. e. "two wooded hills,"is supposed to be the ruins called "Es-Sumrah,"on the road from Jerusalem to Jericho.

Jos 18:23

Ophrah (Jos 15:9 note), to be distinguished here and in 1Sa 13:17 from the Ophrah of Jdg 6:11, is probably the Ephrain of 2Ch 13:19, and the Ephraim of Joh 11:54. It is conjecturally identified with "Et-Taiyibeh,"on the road from Jerusalem to Bethel.

Jos 18:24

Gaba - This name, like Gibeah, Gibeon, etc. Jos 9:3, indicates a town placed on a hill, and occurs repeatedly in various forms in the topography of Palestine. Gaba is the Gibeah (if 1Sa 13:15-16; 1Sa 14:5, where the Hebrew has גבע Geba‛ , which is undoubtedly the correct reading throughout. The city was one of those assigned to the Levites Jos 21:17, and lay on the northern border of Judah. It is identified with the modern "Jeba,"lying on the side of a deep ravine opposite to Michmash ("Mukhmas"). The famous "Gibeah of Saul,"or "Giheah of Benjamin"(the Gibeath of Jos 18:28) lay at no great distance southwest of Geba, on the high road from Jerusalem to Bethel, and is probably to be looked for in the lofty and isolated "Tulcil-el-Ful."

Jos 18:25

Ramah - i. e. "lofty;"probably the native town and abode of Samuel 1Sa 1:19; 1Sa 25:1. Its exact site is uncertain.

Jos 18:26

Mizpeh - See Jos 11:3. Not the Mizpeh of Jos 15:38, but the place where Samuel judged the people and called them together for the election of a king 1Sa 7:5-16; 1Sa 10:17. In the Chaldaean times it was the residence of Gedaliah 2Ki 25:22; Jer 40:14. Its site is identified with "Neby Samwil,"about five miles northwest of Jerusalem.

Haydock: Jos 18:19 - -- Towards, ( contra linguam ) " the bay on the north," &c. (Haydock) --- There is another on the south, chap. xv. 2.

Towards, ( contra linguam ) " the bay on the north," &c. (Haydock) ---

There is another on the south, chap. xv. 2.

Gill: Jos 18:19 - -- And the border passed along to the side of Bethhoglah northward,.... Inclining somewhat toward the north, but not leaving the city to the north, for i...

And the border passed along to the side of Bethhoglah northward,.... Inclining somewhat toward the north, but not leaving the city to the north, for it is included in the lot of Benjamin, Jos 18:21; of which place see Jos 15:6,

and the outgoings of the border were at the north bay of the salt sea; here ended the southern border of Benjamin, even at the bay or creek of the salt sea, which looked northward, as the southern border of Judah began at that bay of it, which looked southward, Jos 15:2,

at the south end of Jordan; where it fell into the salt sea:

this was the south coast; as before described.
