Joshua 18:17

“And was drawn from the north, etc.] Turning northward, and looking that way from the west to the east: and went forth to Enshemesh; or the fountain of the sun, (see <061507>Joshua 15:7); and went forth toward Geliloth; called Gilgal, (<061507>Joshua 15:7); which [is] over against the going up to Adummim; a place between Jerusalem and Jericho, (see <061507>Joshua 15:7); and descended to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben; (see <061506>Joshua 15:6).”

“Enshemesh: The fountain of the Sun; whether a town, or simply a fountain, is uncertain. Geliloth: Geliloth is probably the same as Gilgal; though as the word may signify border or limits, some think that it is probably not the proper name of a place: "And went forth towards the borders which are over against the ascent to Adummim." Others render Geliloth circuits or roundings, or the hills about Jordan, tumuli Jordanis. Vulgate: pertransit usque ad tumulos. the stone: Jos 15:6 Joshua 18:18”
