Giudici 1:23 Meaning and Commentary

Judges 1:23

And the house of Joseph sent to descry Bethel
To reconnoitre the place, to observe its passes and avenues, which were most accessible, and to examine the walls of it, where they were weakest and least defended:

now the name of the city before [was] Luz;
which signifies a "nut"; perhaps it was so called from large numbers of nut trees which grew near it; the Jews suggest as if it was like a nut, no entrance into it but through a cave or some subterraneous passage, see ( Genesis 28:19 ) .

Giudici 1:23 In-Context

21 Ora i figliuoli di Beniamino non iscacciarono i Gebusei che abitavano in Gerusalemme; anzi i Gebusei son dimorati in Gerusalemme, co’ figliuoli di Beniamino, infino a questo giorno.
22 La casa di Giuseppe salì anch’essa contro a Betel; e il Signore fu con loro.
23 E fecero spiare Betel, il cui nome anticamente era Luz.
24 E quelli ch’erano all’agguato videro un uomo che usciva della città; e gli dissero: Deh! mostraci da qual parte si può entrar nella città, e noi useremo benignità inverso te.
25 Egli adunque mostrò loro la parte per la quale potevano entrar nella città; ed essi la misero a fil di spada; ma lasciarono andar quell’uomo con tutta la sua famiglia.
