Joshua 19:7 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 19:7

Ain, Remmon
Of the two first, which were cities of Judah, (See Gill on Joshua 15:32);

and Ether, and Ashan; of the two last, (See Gill on Joshua 19:42);

four cities and their villages;
Ain, Remmon, therefore, could not be one city, at this time, as it seems to have been in the times of Nehemiah, ( Nehemiah 11:29 ) ; or otherwise there would have been but three cities.

Joshua 19:7 In-Context

5 Ziklag, Beit-Markavot, Hatzar-Susah,

6 Beit-L'va'ot and Sharuchen - thirteen cities, together with their villages;

7 'Ayin, Rimmon, 'Eter and 'Ashan - four cities, together with their villages;

8 and all the villages surrounding these cities, as far as Ba'alat-Be'er, Ramah of the Negev. This is the inheritance of the tribe of the descendants of Shim'on according to their families.

9 The inheritance of the descendants of Shim'on was taken out of the allotment for the descendants of Y'hudah, because the portion given to the descendants of Y'hudah was too much for them, so the descendants of Shim'on had an inheritance inside the descendants of Y'hudah.
