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 and Tziklag, and Beit-Markavot, and Hatzar-Susah,

6 and Beit-Leva'ot, and Sharuchen; thirteen cities with their villages:

7 `Ayin, Rimmon, and `Eter, and `Ashan; four cities with their villages:

8 and all the villages that were round about these cities to Ba`alat-Be'er, Ramah of the South. This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Shim`on according to their families.

9 Out of the part of the children of Yehudah was the inheritance of the children of Shim`on; for the portion of the children of Yehudah was too much for them: therefore the children of Shim`on had inheritance in the midst of their inheritance.
