Joshua 19:9 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 19:9

Out of the portion of the children of Judah [was] the
inheritance of the children of Simeon
Which is the reason why no description is given of the border of their inheritance, because that is before given in the account of the lot of Judah:

for the part of the children of Judah was too much for them:
they had more cities than they could fill with people, and more land than they could cultivate; they had an hundred fourteen cities with their villages:

therefore the children of Simeon had their inheritance within the
inheritance of them;
the one being a small tribe, and the other large, and for the reasons given; (See Gill on Joshua 19:1).

Joshua 19:9 In-Context

7 They received the towns of Ain, Rimmon, Ether, and Ashan, four towns and their villages.

8 They also received all the very small areas with people living in them as far as Baalath Beer (this is the same as Ramah in southern Canaan). So these were the lands given to the family groups in the tribe of Simeon.

9 The land of the Simeonites was taken from part of the land of Judah. Since Judah had much more land than they needed, the Simeonites received part of their land.

10 The third part of the land was given to the tribe of Zebulun. Each family group of Zebulun received some of the land. The border of Zebulun went as far as Sarid.

11 Then it went west to Maralah and came near Dabbesheth and then near Jokneam.
