From Bethhoron:<\/p>\n and compassed the corner of the sea southward<\/strong>; it is hard to say what sea is meant, or what by it. Fuller k conjectures, that as the Hebrews call any confluence of water a sea, as we call such a “mere”, the great waters in Gibeon may be meant, Jer 41:12<\/span>; for it cannot mean the Mediterranean sea, for Dan lay between Benjamin and that; and yet if a sea is meant, no other can be; wherefore it is best to render it the “west quarter”, as it is in the latter part of this verse; and so the same word is translated, Jos 18:12<\/span>; the “west”, and not the “sea”, as it sometimes is; for the border of Benjamin did not reach the sea any where; though Josephus l makes it to extend to it, and says, that the length of it was from the river Jordan to the sea:<\/p>\n the hill that [lieth] before Bethhoron southward<\/strong>; the hill that lay to the south of nether Bethhoron, as in Jos 18:13<\/span>:<\/p>\n and the goings out thereof<\/strong>, the end of the western coast,<\/p>\n were at Kirjathbaal, which [is] Kirjathjearim, a city of the children of Judah<\/strong>; of which see Jos 15:9<\/span>;<\/p>\n this [was] the west quarter<\/strong>; as thus described.<\/p>\n k Pisgah Sight, B. 2. c. 12. p. 251. l Ut supra.

The corner of the sea southward No account can be given of this border, according to our translation. For it is certain it did not compass any corner of the Mediterranean sea, (and no other sea can be here meant,) nor come near unto it. Therefore, by , peath-jam, which we translate corner of the sea, must be meant the side of the sea; or rather the west side. So the Vulgate hath it, and the Seventy to the same purpose.<\/p>\n And the word southward is joined by the Vulgate, not to the sea, or west, but to the next words; southward from the hill, &c.
