OET (OET-LV) And_he/it_was to/for_them border_of the_south from_the_end_of the_Sea_of (the)_Salt from the_tongue which_faces south_to_the.

OET (OET-RV) and their southern border was the south-facing bay at the end of the Dead Sea (also called the Salt Sea).

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 15:1–63 The tribe of Judah received their land

This section describes the boundaries of the tribe of Judah and lists the towns that are within those boundaries.

Here are some other possible section headings:

The boundaries of Judah

The land of the tribe of Judah

Paragraph 15:1–4

The next four paragraphs describe the boundaries of the land that Joshua assigned to the tribe of Judah. The south boundary is described in verses 1–4. The east boundary is in verse 5a. The north boundary is in verses 5b through verse 11. The west boundary is in verse 12.

The south boundary starts at the south end of the Dead Sea. From there it swings south and then west to encompass a large area of the Negev Desert. Finally it ends at the Mediterranean Sea.

15:2a

Their southern border started at the bay on the southern tip of the Salt Sea,

Their southern border started at the bay on the southern tip of the Salt Sea: Verses 2–4 describe the southern boundary of Judah’s land in more detail. The clause Their southern border started at the bay on the southern tip of the Salt Sea indicates that the Salt Sea was the eastern point of the south boundary of Judah. the Salt Sea is also known as the Dead Sea.

Here are some other ways to translate this part of the verse:

Judah’s southern border started at the south end of the Dead Sea (CEV)

That boundary began at the south tip of the Salt Sea

at the bay on the southern tip of the Salt Sea: The phrase at the bay on the southern tip of the Salt Sea further describes the beginning point of the southern border of Judah.

Some English versions combine verse 15:2a-b. For example:

Their southern boundary started from the bay at the southern end of the Dead Sea (NIV)

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: translate-names

יָ֣ם הַ⁠מֶּ֑לַח

sea_of of_(the),Salt

The Sea of Salt is another name for what is now known as “the Dead Sea.”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

הַ⁠לָּשֹׁ֖ן

the,tongue

The author is speaking of this sea as if it were a living thing that had a tongue. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [the bay]

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

15:1-63 Judah’s tribal allotment is described in greater detail than that of the other tribes. The failures of Judah’s elder brothers (Gen 34:25-31; 35:22) put him in line to receive the mantle of leadership. Thus, the tribe of Judah received a central geographical position among the tribes, guaranteeing its leadership in the nation (Gen 49:8-12; Deut 33:7).
