   The borders of this tribe on the north were the same as those
   of Ephraim on the south, and his southern boundaries the same
   as the northern borders of Judah; but drawn from west to east,
   instead of from east to west (ch. 15:1-12; ch. 16.)  As the
   inheritance of Benjamin did not extend to the Mediterranean
   sea, and no other sea or lake is known to have been in those
   parts, perhaps this depression, "compassed the corner of the
   sea southward," (ver. 14,) should be rendered, "made a circuit
   on the side next the sea towards the south;" for it seems to
   connect the northern border, in the preceding verses, with the
   southern which follows.
