Joshua 19:10 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 19:10

And the third lot came up for the children of Zebulun,
according to their families
Who, though younger than Issachar, has his lot before him, agreeably to the order in which his blessing is predicted, both by Jacob and Moses, ( Genesis 49:13 ) ( Deuteronomy 33:18 ) ;

and the border of their inheritance was unto Sarid;
or "by Sarid", as Masius, who takes this to be the southwest border of Zebulun, being near Carmel; in which he seems to be right.

Joshua 19:10 In-Context

8 All the villages around these cities as far as Baalath Beer and Ramath Negev were also included. This is the inheritance of the tribe of Simeon for its families.

9 Simeon's inheritance was a part of Judah's because Judah had more land than it needed. So Simeon received its inheritance inside Judah's borders.

10 The third lot was drawn for the families descended from Zebulun. The border of their inheritance goes as far as Sarid.

11 Toward the west the border ascends to Maralah and touches Dabbesheth and the river near Jokneam.

12 But from Sarid it turns directly east toward the border of Chisloth Tabor, on to Daberath, and then ascends toward Japhia.
