Und die Grenze gegen Osten war das Salzmeer bis an das Ende des Jordan. Und die Grenze an der Nordseite war von der Meereszunge an, vom Ende des Jordan;
Aber die Morgengrenze ist das Salzmeer bis an des Jordans Ende. Die Grenze gegen Mitternacht ist von der Zunge des Meers, die am Ende des Jordans ist,

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the east border [was] the salt sea, [even] unto the end of Jordan,.... To the place where Jordan fell into it; so that this border was the whole length of the salt sea, which Josephus says y was five hundred eighty furlongs; and, according to Pliny z, an hundred miles:
and [their] border in the north quarter [was] from the bay of the sea,
at the uttermost part of Jordan; this northern border began where the eastern ended, at the bay or creek of the sea, where Jordan fell into it.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Joshua 15:5. The east border was the Salt Sea — The Salt Sea is the same as the Dead Sea, lake Asphaltites, &c. And here it is intimated that the eastern border of the tribe of Judah extended along the Dead Sea, from its lowest extremity to the end of Jordan, i.e., to the place where Jordan falls into this sea.
