Rashi on Joshua
To the end of the Jordan. The width of the boundary of Yehudah is only that which is opposite the Dead Sea to the place where the Jordan empties into the Dead Sea, for the Jordan itself is also on the eastern border of the land of Canaan, as stated in Parshas אֵלֶה מַסְעֵי8Ibid. regarding the eastern border. The boundary descended to the Jordan and it extended to the Dead Sea, which is at the corner.
