Joshua 15:5

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public Domain

To the end of Jordan. The spot where it emptied itself into the Dead Sea. The bay of the sea at the uttermost part of Jordan. As in Joshua 15:3, the word here translated bay is tongue in the original.

What is meant is that the northern boundary started from the point where the Jordan entered the Dead Sea.
