Josué 15:1

1 La parte que tocó en suerte a la tribu de los hijos de Judá conforme a sus familias, llegaba hasta la frontera de Edom, hacia el sur, hasta el desierto de Zin al extremo sur.

Josué 15:1 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 15:1

This then was the lot of the tribe of the children of Judah by
their families
The land of Canaan was divided by lot to the several tribes, and the tribe of Judah had its lot first; of the manner of casting lots, (See Gill on Numbers 26:55); It seems as if the lot was first cast for the tribes of Judah and Joseph, when the former had the southern, and the latter the northern part of the land for their portion, which was done in Gilgal; after this lots were cast in Shiloh for the other seven tribes, who had the land divided among them, which lay between Judah and Joseph, or between the southern and northern parts of the land, see ( Joshua 18:1 ) and it seems that not only the land was divided to the tribes by lot, but that the portion of land which belonged to each tribe was divided in the same way to the several families and households belonging thereunto; as is here suggested, with respect to the tribe of Judah, whose lot reached

[even] to the border of Edom;
or Idumea, which lay to the south of the land of Canaan:

the wilderness of Zin southward [was] the uttermost part of the south
coast;
the same with Kadesh, and lay upon the borders of Edom; see ( Numbers 33:36 ) ( 34:3 ) .

Josué 15:1 In-Context

1 La parte que tocó en suerte a la tribu de los hijos de Judá conforme a sus familias, llegaba hasta la frontera de Edom, hacia el sur, hasta el desierto de Zin al extremo sur.

2 Y su límite al sur se extendía desde el extremo del mar Salado, desde la bahía que da hacia el sur,

3 y seguía por el sur hacia la subida de Acrabim y continuaba hasta Zin; entonces subía por el lado sur de Cades-barnea hasta Hezrón, y subía hasta Adar y volvía a Carca.

4 Y pasaba por Asmón y seguía hasta el torrente de Egipto; y el límite terminaba en el mar. Este será vuestro límite meridional.

5 El límite oriental era el mar Salado hasta la desembocadura del Jordán. El límite por el lado norte era desde la bahía del mar en la desembocadura del Jordán.
