This was the west quarter. 15 The south quarter was from the end of Kirjathjearim, and the border went west and went out to the well of waters of Nephtoah. 16 Then the border came down to the end of the mountain that lies before the valley of the son of Hinnom, 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 Enrogel. 17 It was drawn from the north, went forth to Enshemesh, and went forth toward Geliloth, which is opposite the ascent of Adummim, and descended to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben. 18 It passed along the side opposite Arabah northward, and went down to Arabah. 19 The border passed along to the side of Bethhoglah northward.
