Then it went down to the Stone of Bohan.( Bohan was Reuben’s son.)From there it passed along the north side of the slope overlooking the Jordan Valley. The border then went down into the valley,ran past the north slope of Beth hoglah, and ended at the north bay of the Dead Sea, which is the southern end of the Jordan River. This was the southern boundary.The eastern boundary was the Jordan River.
