Beth Hoglah was first mentioned at 15.6. In the translation of this verse, it may be necessary to begin a new sentence after Beth Hoglah: “The southern border then ended at the northern inlet on the Dead Sea, where the Jordan River empties into it.” Or “The southern border then ended where the Jordan River empties into the Dead Sea.”
