| <p> ("the thumb".) A son of [[Reuben]] (not mentioned in Exodus 6:14; Numbers 26:5; 1 Chronicles 5:3), after whom a stone was named. Probably commemorating some achievement of his in the conquest of [[Palestine]] ( Joshua 15:6; Joshua 18:17). It was a boundary mark between Judah and Benjamin, the exact point where the mountains W. of the [[Dead]] Sea change their direction to the eye. Now called "the stone of the finger," Hadjar el Asbah. Ganneau observes that a rock on an isolated peak on the hill side resembles a fist closed with the thumb raised; the name of this peak probably was transferred to the fallen block close by, namely, Hadjar el Asbah. </p>

See [[Stone]] Bunting(Itinerar. tot. S. Script. p. 144), mentioning Bahurim, says that near to it, in the valley, is a stone called Bohan, of extraordinary size, and shining like marble; but this wants confirmation (yet comp. Schwarz, Palest. p. 94). It was situated in the valley of Achor, between [[Beth-Arabah]] and Debir, apparently along the eastern side of the present [[Wady]] Dabr running into the [[Dead]] Sea. (See [[Tribe]]). </p> |

(Heb. Bohan', בֹּהִן , A Thumb; Sept. Βαιών ), a Reubenite, (See Ben- Bohan), in whose honor a stone was erected which afterward served as a boundarymark on the frontier of Judah and Benjamin ( Joshua 15:6; Joshua 18:17). It does not appear from the text whether this stone was a sepulchral monument, or set up to commemorate some great exploit performed by this Bohan in the conquest of Canaan (comp. 1 Samuel 7:12).
