Verse 9 is found in chapter 15 of Joshua. The inheritance of Judah is described through its geographical boundaries: the wilderness of Zin, the border of Edom, the Mediterranean Sea, and various elevations and cities. This precision turns the territorial promise into a concrete reality. Boundary language shows that tribal identity includes territory, cities, and relationships with neighboring regions. The description also establishes the framework for Judah’s specific possessions within Israel’s future organization.

darnach kommt sie von des Berges Spitze zu dem Wasserbrunnen Nephthoa und kommt heraus zu den Städten des Gebirges Ephron und neigt sich gen Baala, das ist Kirjath-Jearim,
Y rodea este término desde la cumbre del monte hasta la fuente de las aguas de Nephtoa, y sale a la ciudades del monte de Ephrón, rodeando luego el mismo término a Baala, la cual es Chîriath-jearim.
El límite giraba desde la cima del monte hasta el manantial de las aguas de Neftoa y salía a las ciudades del monte Efrón; el límite giraba hacia Baala, que es Quiriat-jearim.
Du sommet de la montagne elle s'étendait jusqu'à la source des eaux de Nephthoach, continuait vers les villes de la montagne d'Ephron, et se prolongeait par Baala, qui est Kirjath-Jearim.
Poi questo confine girava dalla sommità di quel monte, verso la fonte delle acque di Neftoa, e procedeva verso le città del monte di Efron; poi girava verso Baala, che è Chiriat-iearim.
Então este termo vai desde a altura do monte até à fonte das águas de Neftoa; e sai até às cidades do monte de Efrom; vai mais este termo até Baalá (esta é Quiriate-Jearim).
