Jueces 1:26 Meaning and Commentary

Judges 1:26

And the man went into the land of the Hittites
With his family; Kimchi says this was not one of the seven nations of Canaan; and it is very clear from this narrative, that the land this man went to was not in the land of Canaan; though it is certain a people of this name formerly dwelt there, ( Genesis 15:20 ) ( 23:3 ) ( 26:34 ) ; and the land of Canaan is called the land of the Hittites, ( Joshua 1:4 ) ; these either might flee to another country upon Joshua's entry into the land of Canaan, or a colony of them from thence might settle elsewhere, to which this man chose to go, who might be originally of them:

and built a city;
his family was numerous, and he a man of wealth, and was allowed to carry all his substance with him:

and called the name of it Luz;
in memory of the place he left, and had long lived in. There is a city called Loussa, among the cities which Josephus says F19 were taken by the Jews from the Arabians; and which is very probably the Lysa of Ptolemy F20, which he places in Arabia Petraea, and might be the same with this Luz; and, if so, this shows the land this man went into was in Edom, which is not unlikely; there is another Luza, which Jerom F21 says fell to the lot of the sons of Joseph, near Sichem, three miles from Neapolis:

which [is] the name thereof unto this day:
the time of the writing of this book; (See Gill on Judges 1:21).

Jueces 1:26 In-Context

24 Y vieron los esp铆as a un hombre que sal铆a de la ciudad y le dijeron: Te rogamos que nos muestres la entrada de la ciudad y te trataremos con misericordia.
25 El les mostr贸 la entrada de la ciudad; e hirieron la ciudad a filo de espada, mas dejaron ir al hombre y a toda su familia.
26 Y el hombre fue a la tierra de los heteos y edific贸 una ciudad a la que llam贸 Luz; y este es su nombre hasta hoy.
27 Pero Manas茅s no tom贸 posesi贸n de Bet-se谩n y sus aldeas, ni de Taanac y sus aldeas, ni de los habitantes de Dor y sus aldeas, ni de los habitantes de Ibleam y sus aldeas, ni de los habitantes de Meguido y sus aldeas; y los cananeos persist铆an en habitar en aquella tierra.
28 Y sucedi贸 que cuando Israel se hizo fuerte, sometieron a los cananeos a trabajos forzados, pero no los expulsaron totalmente.
