יהושע, פרק י״ח, פסוק י״ח

Mapping the tribal territories requires exact precision, ensuring every city and region falls to its rightful owners. As the boundary line continues its path to outline the designated land, it crosses to the very edge of a location known as the area opposite the Arabah [ביאור שטיינזלץ]. The border travels along the northern side of this place. By taking this northern route, the boundary effectively excludes this specific area from the territory given to the tribe of Benjamin [מצודת דוד].

From that point, the boundary path descends downward into the Arabah itself [ביאור שטיינזלץ]. This destination is identified as the city of Beth-arabah, a location previously mentioned during the mapping of the borders for the tribe of Judah [מצודת דוד, מלבי״ם]. Just as before, the boundary line sweeps to the north of Beth-arabah. This careful routing ensures that the city remains completely outside the inheritance of Benjamin [מצודת דוד].
