Joshua 15:26

26 Amam, Shema, and Moladah,

Joshua 15:26 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 15:26

Amam
Of Amam we read nowhere else;

and Shema
is thought by some to be the same with Sheba, though wrongly, given afterwards to the tribe of Simeon, as was also Moladah, mentioned with it, ( Joshua 19:2 ) ;

and Moladah;
it is also spoken of in ( 1 Chronicles 4:28 ) ( Nehemiah 11:26 ) , and seems to be the same with Malathi or Malatis, about twenty miles from Hebron ^F6.
