arrive à Debir en partant de la vallée d’Akhor; se dirige, par le nord, vers Ghilgal, en face de la montée d’Adoummîm, au midi du bas-fonds; avance jusqu’aux eaux d’En-Chémech et atteint En-Roghel.
Rashi on Joshua
The boundary went up to Devir from the Valley of Ochor. The Valley of Ochor was between Even Bohan and Devir.

Rashi on Joshua
And it turned northward to Gilgol. When it reached Gilgol, the boundary widens, and the borderline extends northward to Gilgol which is opposite Maalei-adumim, whose elevation [Maalei] is south of the Valley. The valley therefore is outside the borderline and is not within the boundary of Yehudah.
