Jeremiah 31:39

The boundary line will extend beyond that, straight west from there to the Hill of Gareb and then turn southward to Goah. ¹ 

The measuring line will stretch from there straight to the hill of Gareb and then turn to Goah.

"The measuring line will go out farther straight ahead to the hill Gareb; then it will turn to Goah.

A measuring line will be stretched out over the hill of Gareb and across to Goah.

The master plan will extend west to Gareb Hill and then around to Goath.

And the measuring-line will go out in front of it as far as the hill Gareb, going round to Goah.

And the measuring line shall go out farther, straight to the hill Gareb, and shall then turn to Goah.

"The surveyor’s line shall again extend straight forward over the hill Gareb; then it shall turn toward Goath.

The boundary line will extend beyond that, straight west from there to the Hill of Gareb and then turn southward to Goah. ¹ 

¹ tn The words “west” and “southward” are not in the text but are supplied in the translation to give some orientation.

sn The location of the Hill of Gareb and the place called Goah are not precisely known. However, it has been plausibly suggested from the other localities mentioned that the reference is to the hill west of the Hinnom valley mentioned in Josh 15:8. The location of Goah is generally placed south of that near the southwest corner of the Hinnom Valley which is referred to in the next verse.
