46 Mé-Jarkon et Rakkon, avec le territoire vis-à-vis de Japho.

Josué 19:46 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 19:46

And Mejarkon, and Rakkon
Of the two first of these we read no where else.

with the border before Japho;
Japho is the same with Joppa, now called at this day Jaffa, a port in the Mediterranean sea, famous for being the place where Jonah took shipping, (See Gill on Jonah 1:3); and where the Apostle Peter resided some time, (See Gill on Acts 9:36); and (See Gill on Acts 9:38). It is not certain whether Joppa itself was in the tribe of Dan, or only on the borders of it; the coast of Dan reached "over against" it, as it may be rendered, and included the villages and little cities that were near it; for such there were, as Josephus ^F2 testifies.

47 Or, le territoire des enfants de Dan s'étendit hors de chez eux; les enfants de Dan montèrent et combattirent contre Léshem, la prirent, et la firent passer au fil de l'épée; ils en prirent possession, et y habitèrent, et appelèrent Léshem, Dan, du nom de Dan, leur père.

48 Tel fut l'héritage de la tribu des enfants de Dan, selon leurs familles, ces villes-là et leurs villages.
