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 The towns and all of the villages that were around them reached all the way to Ramah in the Negev Desert. That was the share of land the tribe of Simeon received, family group by family group.

9 Simeon's share of land was taken from Judah's share. That's because Judah had more land than they needed. So the people of Simeon received their share of land inside the territory of Judah.

10 The third lot that was drawn out was for the tribe of Zebulun, family group by family group. Here are the borders of Zebulun's territory. The border of their share of land went as far as Sarid.

11 It ran west to Maralah and touched Dabbesheth. It reached to the valley near Jokneam.

12 It turned east from Sarid toward the sunrise. It went to the territory of Kisloth Tabor. It went on to Daberath and up to Japhia.
