Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Joshua 18:16
And the border came down to the end of the mountain that [lieth] before the valley of the son of Hinnom, [and] which [is] in the valley of the giants on the north, and descended to the valley of Hinnom, to the side of Jebusi on the south, and descended to En-rogel,
Verse 16. To the side of Jebusi] The mountain of Zion, that was near Jerusalem; for Jebusi, or Jebus, was the ancient name of this city.

To the end of the mountain, i.e. the place where the mountain ends, and the valley begins.
Before the valley of the son of Hinnom, i.e. in the prospect of that valley; or, that reacheth to that valley on the south.
In the valley of the giants on the north; which extends to this other valley on the north side of it.
To the side of Jebusi; to that part where the Jebusites lived, which was in and near Jerusalem.

And the border came down,…. In the description of the border of Judah, hereabout, it is said to go up, Jos 15:5; because there, as Jarchi observes, the measure was from east to west, but here from west to east:
to the end of the mountain that [lieth] before the valley of the son of Hinnom; this south border of Benjamin is the same with the north border of Judah; and the same places are mentioned in the description of the one as of the other, see Jos 15:8. The mountain is Mount Moriah,
[and] which [is] in the valley of the giants on the north; on the north of the valley of Rephaim:
and descended to the valley of Hinnom; the border from the end of Mount Moriah to that valley:
to the side of Jebusi on the south; to the south side of Jerusalem, having that city on the south;
and descended to Enrogel; of which [See comments on Jos 15:7].
