Commentary for Joshua 15:6
וְעָלָ֤ה הַגְּבוּל֙ בֵּ֣ית חָגְלָ֔ה וְעָבַ֕ר מִצְּפ֖וֹן לְבֵ֣ית הָעֲרָבָ֑ה וְעָלָ֣ה הַגְּב֔וּל אֶ֥בֶן בֹּ֖הַן בֶּן־רְאוּבֵֽן׃
And the border went up to Beth-hoglah, and passed along by the north of Beth-arabah; and the border went up to the Stone of Bohan the son of Reuben.
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.
