East Border, North Border and West Border

The description of the east border and the west border of Judah is simple. These borders are indicated by two waters: ‘the Salt Sea’, or the Dead Sea, ‘as far as the mouth of the Jordan River’ in the east (Jos 15:5a) and ‘the Great Sea’, or the Mediterranean Sea, in the west (Jos 15:12a). The north border is described in detail (Jos 15:5b-11) because it delimits Judah’s territory from the other tribes.
