Giosué 19:13 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 19:13

And from thence passeth on along on the east to Gittahhepher,
&c.] Which was the native place of Jonah the prophet, ( 2 Kings 14:25 ) ; and where Jerom says ^F18 his grave was shown, and was a small village in his time two miles from Sippore, then called Diocaesarea,

to Ittahkazin;
of this place we have no account elsewhere, but it was not far from the former:

and goeth out to Remmonmethoar to Neah;
where the eastern border ended. Some versions make Remmonmethoar distinct places; but where either of them were exactly is not known: some, as the Targum, Jarchi, and Kimchi, render the word "Methoar which goes about"; that is, the border went about from Remmon to Neah, which by Jerom is called Anna, and who observes ^F19, that there is another village called Anna, ten miles from Neapolis, as you go to Aelia; and by whom also Methoar is reckoned a distinct place, and called Amathar.
