In Numbers 34:4 the proper noun occurs where the border is said to pass through the place after Hazar-addar; in Numbers 34:5 it is the point from which the border turns toward the torrent of Egypt. Joshua 15:4 likewise places it on a route that extends to the torrent of Egypt; the APB renders the place name "Azmon" in each verse.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term as "Azmon" in all three boundary clauses. The clauses rather than the English form establish its function as a place name.
