Juízes 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 ) .

Juízes 1:23 In-Context

21 Já os benjamitas deixaram de expulsar os jebuseus que estavam morando em Jerusalém. Os jebuseus vivem ali com os benjamitas até o dia de hoje.
22 Os homens das tribos de José, por sua vez, atacaram Betel, e o SENHOR estava com eles.
23 Enviaram espias a Betel, anteriormente chamada Luz.
24 Quando os espias viram um homem saindo da cidade, disseram-lhe: “Mostre-nos como entrar na cidade, e nós pouparemos a sua vida”.
25 Ele mostrou como entrar, e eles mataram os habitantes da cidade ao fio da espada, mas pouparam o homem e toda a sua família.
