יהושע, פרק י״ח, פסוק י״ט

Mapping the tribal territories requires precise geographical markers to establish clear boundaries. The southern border of the Tribe of Benjamin stretches from the west toward the east, detailing the specific landmarks until it reaches the meeting point of the Jordan River and the Dead Sea [מצודת דוד].

As the line moves eastward, it passes along the northern side of the slope of Beth-hoglah [ביאור שטיינזלץ]. Interestingly, this specific location is not actually included within Benjamin's territory. Although a city with the exact same name is listed later among the tribe's possessions, that refers to a completely different town [מצודת דוד].

The boundary then proceeds toward a distinct geographical feature known as the tongue of the Dead Sea, named for the way the edge of the water stretches and protrudes outward [מצודת ציון]. The border only touches the northernmost section of this landmass, meaning the entire area of the tongue itself remains under the domain of the neighboring Tribe of Judah [רש״י].

Continuing onward, the route reaches the southern edge of the Jordan River, precisely where its waters flow into the Dead Sea [רש״י, מצודת דוד, ביאור שטיינזלץ]. This exact spot serves as a crucial junction between the tribes, acting simultaneously as the northeastern corner of Judah's land and the southeastern corner of Benjamin's territory [רש״י]. Ultimately, this carefully drawn route forms the definitive southern border of the Tribe of Benjamin [ביאור שטיינזלץ].
