Joshua 18:14

And the border was drawn [thence], and compassed the corner of the sea southward, from the hill that [lieth] before Bethhoron southward; and the goings out thereof were at Kirjathbaal, which [is] Kirjathjearim, a city of the children of Judah: this [was] the west quarter.

And the border {H1366} was drawn {H8388} thence, and compassed {H5437} the corner {H6285} of the sea {H3220} southward {H5045}, from the hill {H2022} that lieth before {H6440} Bethhoron {H1032} southward {H5045}; and the goings out {H8444} thereof were at Kirjathbaal {H7154}, which is Kirjathjearim {H7157}, a city {H5892} of the children {H1121} of Judah {H3063}: this was the west {H3220} quarter {H6285}.

The border was delineated as turning at the western corner and heading southward, from the hill located in front of Beit-Horon on the south; and it ended at Kiryat-Ba'al (that is, Kiryat-Ye'arim), a city belonging to the descendants of Y'hudah; this was the west side.

On the west side the border curved southward from the hill facing Beth-horon on the south and came out at Kiriath-baal (that is, Kiriath-jearim), a city of the sons of Judah. This was the western side.

And the border extended thence, and turned about on the west quarter southward, from the mountain that lieth before Beth-horon southward; and the goings out thereof were at Kiriath-baal (the same is Kiriath-jearim), a city of the children of Judah: this was the west quarter.
