Joshua 18:17 forms part of the description of a boundary line in the allotments of the land of Canaan made to Israel. It belongs to the section describing the distribution of Canaan among the tribes. More specifically, it describes part of the land allotted to Benjamin in Canaan.

Benjamin's territory lay within the larger portion allotted to Judah and later adjoined Judah's territory, as shown by the wider passage of Joshua 18:11-28. Its boundary details are geographical records based on written documents that accurately described the land and its property.
