Joshua 15:11 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 15:11

And the border went out unto the side of Ekron northward
Which was one of the principalities of the Philistines; and which, though it fell to the lot of Judah, ( Joshua 15:45 ) , was not possessed by them:

and the border was drawn to Shicron, and passed along to Mount Baalah;
of which places we have no account elsewhere:

and went unto Jabneel;
which Masius makes no doubt was one of the Jamnias, and particularly that which was a seaport; which Strabo says

FOOTNOTES:

F1 was distant from Azotus and Ashkelon about two hundred furlongs, or twenty five miles:

and the goings out of the border were at the sea;
the Mediterranean sea; here the northern border ended.


F1 Geograph. l. 16. p. 522.

Joshua 15:11 In-Context

9 From the hilltop the boundary headed toward the spring of the waters of Nephtoah, came out at the towns of Mount Ephron and went down toward Baalah (that is, Kiriath Jearim).
10 Then it curved westward from Baalah to Mount Seir, ran along the northern slope of Mount Jearim (that is, Kesalon), continued down to Beth Shemesh and crossed to Timnah.
11 It went to the northern slope of Ekron, turned toward Shikkeron, passed along to Mount Baalah and reached Jabneel. The boundary ended at the sea.
12 The western boundary is the coastline of the Mediterranean Sea. These are the boundaries around the people of Judah by their clans.
13 In accordance with the LORD’s command to him, Joshua gave to Caleb son of Jephunneh a portion in Judah—Kiriath Arba, that is, Hebron. (Arba was the forefather of Anak.)
