Księga Jozuego 15:7

Następnie ta granica ciągnie się w górę, ku Debirowi, w kierunku od doliny Achor, i zwraca się ku północy do Gilgal, które jest po przeciwległej stronie wyżyny Adummim, położonej na południu strumienia. Następnie ta granica ciągnie się ku wodzie EnSzemesz i dalej, aż do źródła EnRogel.

Bieży nad to granica ta aż do Debery od doliny Achor, a ciągnie się ku północy do Galgal, które jest przeciwko pagórkowi Adommim, który jest ku południu od rzeki i idzie ta granica do wód Eusemes, a kończy się w Enrogiel.
Biblia Gdańska (1632)
Idzie także ta granica do Dabir od doliny Achor, a ku północy się udawa do Galgal, które jest przeciw górze, gdzie wstępują do Adommim, która jest na południe od rzeki, a idzie ta granica do wód Ensemes, a kończy się u studnicy Rogiel.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the border went up towards Debir,.... This was neither the Debir in the tribe of Gad, on the other side Jordan, Joshua 13:26; nor that in the tribe of Judah near Hebron, Joshua 15:15; but a third city of that name, and was not far from Jericho:

from the valley of Achor; where Achan was put to death, and had its name from thence; which, according to Jarchi, lay between the stone of Bohan and Debir:

and so northward, looking towards Gilgal; not the place where Israel were encamped when this lot was made, but it seems to be the same that is called Geliloth, Joshua 18:17;

that [is], the going up to Adummim; which, Jerom says c, was formerly a little village, now in ruins, in the lot of the tribe of Judah, which place is called to this day Maledomim; and by the Greeks "the ascent of the red ones", because of the blood which was there frequently shed by thieves: it lies on the borders of Judah and Benjamin, as you go from Jerusalem to Jericho, where there is a garrison of soldiers for the help of travellers, and is supposed to be the place where the man fell among thieves in his way from the one to the other, Luke 10:30. It was four miles distant from Jericho to the west, according to Adrichomius d, and was a mountain, and part of the mountains of Engaddi:

which [is] on the south side of the river; which some take to be the brook Kidron; but that is not very likely, being too near Jerusalem for this place: it may be rendered "the valley", so Jarchi, either the valley of Achor, before mentioned, or however a valley that ran along by the mount or ascent of Adummim, which lay to the south of it:

and the border passed to the waters of Enshemesh: or the "fountain of the sun"; but of it we have no account what and where it was. It might be so called, because dedicated to the sun by the idolatrous Canaanites, or because of the sun's influence on the waters of it. Our city, Bath, is, by Antoninus e, called "aquae solis", the waters of the sun; though there is a fountain in Cyrene, so called, for a reason just the reverse, it being, as Mela f and Pliny g affirm, hottest the middle of the night, and then grows cooler by little and little; and when it is light is cold, and when the sun is risen is colder still, and at noon exceeding cold; and, according to Vossius h, it is the same with the fountain of Jupiter Ammon; and so it appears to be from Herodotus i, by whom it is also called the "fountain of the sun", and which he places in Thebes, though Pliny distinguishes them:

and the goings out thereof were at Enrogel; which signifies "the fountain of the fuller"; so the Targum renders it, and probably was a fountain where fullers cleansed their clothes; and was called Rogel, as Jarchi and Kimchi say, because they used to tread them with their feet when they washed them. This was a place near Jerusalem, as appears from 1 Kings 1:9; near to which perhaps was the fuller's monument, at the corner tower of Jerusalem, Josephus k speaks of, as there was also a place not far from it called the fuller's field, Isaiah 7:3; according to Bunting l, it had its name from travellers washing their feet here.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The going up to Adummim - Rather, “the ascent or pass of Adummim” (compare Joshua 15:3, margin), on the road from Jerusalem to Jericho. Its name signifies “red” and is explained by Jerome as given because of the frequent bloodshed there by robbers. This road is the scene of the parable of the Good Samaritan. Possibly the name may be due to some aboriginal tribe of “red men,” who held their ground in these fastnesses after the invaders had driven them from the face of the country elsewhere.

En-shemesh - i. e. “fountain of the sun;” no doubt that now called “the Fountain of the Apostles,” about two miles from Jerusalem, and the only well on the road to Jericho.

En-rogel - i. e. “fountain of the fullers” near the walls of Jerusalem. It was here that Jonathan and Ahimaaz concealed themselves after the rebellion of Absalom, in order to procure tidings for David, and here Adonijah gave a feast to his adherents preparatory to making an attempt on the crown (compare the marginal references). It is probably the modern “Fountain of the Virgin,” the only real spring near Jerusalem, from which the Pool of Siloam is supplied. Others identify it, less probably, with the “Well of Job,” situated where the valleys of Kedron and Hinnom unite.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Joshua 15:7. The valley of Achor — Debir mentioned in this verse is unknown. The valley of Achor had its name from the punishment of Achan. See the account, Joshua 7:24, c.

En-shemesh — The fountain of the sun it was eastward of Jerusalem, on the confines of Judah and Benjamin.
