Kommentar zu Jehoschua 15:6
וְעָלָ֤ה הַגְּבוּל֙ בֵּ֣ית חָגְלָ֔ה וְעָבַ֕ר מִצְּפ֖וֹן לְבֵ֣ית הָעֲרָבָ֑ה וְעָלָ֣ה הַגְּב֔וּל אֶ֥בֶן בֹּ֖הַן בֶּן־רְאוּבֵֽן׃
Die Grenze zog sich hinauf nach Bet Hogla und ging nördlich Bet Araba vorbei; die Grenze zog sich hinauf nach Eben Bohans, Sohnes Ruben [Gebiete].
Rashi on Joshua
The boundary went up to Even bohan. As the border line goes toward Yerushalayim, it becomes elevated9See Rashi to Verse 3. There is a difference of opinion regarding the name of the the place. According to Radak, the city was called Even, and the ruler of the city was a man by the name of Bohan, son of Reuvein. According to Metzudos Tzion, the city itself was called Even Bohan, and its ruler was a man called ben Reuvein.
