On the west the border touched Carmel and Shihor-libnath,
The border began in the southwest at Mount Carmel and Shihor-libnath.
Their western border started from the south at Carmel Mountain and Shihor-libnath.
On the west the border touched Carmel: The clause On the west the border touched Carmel indicates that the clan of Asher’s land extended to the Mount Carmel Range in the southwest. The Mount Carmel range extends to the Mediterranean Sea south of the land that the clan of Asher received. The western border of Asher’s land ran along the Mediterranean Sea. However, the text does not describe all the western border. Here it mentions the southern point of the western border. In the next verse it describes the border as it ran southeast to the land that belonged to the clan of Zebulun.
and Shihor-libnath: The location of Shihor-libnath is unknown. It is not certain whether this name refers to a wadi or a town.Rasmussen p. 251. If the grammar of your language demands a label then it is recommended that you call it a town.
Here are some other ways to translate this part of the verse:
In the south west the border extended to Mount Carmel and Shihor-libnath town
The western border started in the south at Carmel Mountain and Shihor-libnath (T4T)
