Joshua 15:5 But on the east side, the beginning shall be the most salt sea, even to the end of the Jordan: and towards the north, from the bay of the sea unto the same river Jordan.

Jordan, where it discharges itself into the Dead Sea, or mixes its waters with the latter; which, as we observe, (chap. 5:16,) does not take place for three miles. (Haydock) --- the north-western part of this sea belonged to Benjamin.
