Josué 19:33

33 Y su límite era desde Helef, desde la encina de Saananim, Adami-neceb y Jabneel hasta Lacum; y terminaba en el Jordán.

Josué 19:33 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 19:33

And their coast was from Heleph
That is, their northern coast, reaching from west to east, as appears by the ending of it at Jordan; the Alexandrian copy of the Greek version calls it Mlepeh, the Targum, Meheleph, and Jerom, Mealeb, which he calls the border of Naphtali; which, though to the north, cannot be expressly said what and where it was:

from Allon to Zaanannim;
or rather from the oak, or from the plain in Zaanannim ^F4; for it seems to be the same with the plain of Zanaaim, ( Judges 4:11 ) .

and Adami, Nekeb;
some make these to be but one city, and the latter only an epithet of the former; but the Talmudists ^F5 make them two, as we do, and call the first Damin, and the latter Ziadetha; but what and where either of them were exactly is not known; for Adami cannot be the same with Adam, ( Joshua 3:16 ) ; as some think; for that was in Peraea, on the other side Jordan; (See Gill on Joshua 3:16):

and Jabneel;
Jabneel is different from that which was on the borders of Judah, ( Joshua 15:11 ) ; and is called by the Jews ^F6 since Cepherjamah;

unto Lakum;
of which we nowhere else read:

and the outgoings thereof were at Jordan;
here the coast ended this way.

Josué 19:33 In-Context

31 Esta fue la heredad de la tribu de los hijos de Aser conforme a sus familias, estas ciudades con sus aldeas.

32 La sexta suerte tocó a los hijos de Neftalí; a los hijos de Neftalí conforme a sus familias.

33 Y su límite era desde Helef, desde la encina de Saananim, Adami-neceb y Jabneel hasta Lacum; y terminaba en el Jordán.

34 Entonces el límite doblaba al occidente hacia Aznot-tabor, y de allí seguía a Hucoc; alcanzaba a Zabulón en el sur, tocaba a Aser en el occidente y a Judá en el Jordán hacia el oriente.

35 Y las ciudades fortificadas eran Sidim, Zer, Hamat, Racat, Cineret,
