Scripture focus
And the border went up toward Debir from the valley of Achor, and so northward, looking toward Gilgal, that [is] before the going up to Adummim, which [is] on the south side of the river: and the border passed toward the waters of Enshemesh, and the goings out thereof were at Enrogel:
Joshua 15:7 — KJV
Debir. This is not the Debir of ch. 10:38 but a place called Thogret ed-Debr, halfway between Jerusalem and Jericho.
Valley of Achor. A plain south of Jericho called el-Buqe‘ah. It runs southwest-northeast about 3 mi. (5 km.) west of Khirbet Qumran, in the northern part of the wilderness of Judah. See on v. 61.
Adummim. This place is on the Jerusalem to Jericho road. The words “going up to Adummim” refer to a mountain pass in this area. The word for river is the word for a “winter torrent,” which represents a valley usually dry except during winter rains. The valley is believed to be the modern TaVat ed-Damm.
Waters of En-shemesh. Literally, “the spring of the sun.” The exact location of this spring, on the Jerusalem to Jericho road, is uncertain, but it may possibly be the Ain el-Hod, a short distance beyond Bethany, the last watering place before reaching the Jordan and known as the Apostles’ Fountain.
En-rogel. Literally, “spring of the spy.” This was a well or spring just outside Jerusalem at the juncture of the Kidron and Hinnom valleys.
