¹⁵ The southern boundary began on the outskirts of Kiriath-jearim and from there went west to the springs of Nephtoah. ¹⁶ Then the boundary went along the border of the mountain overlooking the valley of Ben-hinnom, which is at the north end of the valley of Rephaim; and it then went down the valley of Hinnom, south of the slope of the Jebusites, and further to En-rogel.
