Giosué 13:5 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 13:5

And the land of the Giblites
This was another country that remained unconquered; the Greeks call it Byblus, and near to which Pliny F5 speaks of a place called Gabale, and is now called Gibyle; it is F6 said to be

``pleasantly situated by the seaside, and at present it contains but a little extent of ground, but yet more than enough for the small number of its inhabitants:''

it was in greater splendour, and its inhabitants of more fame, in the times of Ezekiel, ( Ezekiel 27:9 ) ;

and all Lebanon toward the sunrising;
or east of the land; all that inhabited that mountain remained unconquered, though the conquest was carried as far as the borders thereof:

from Baalgad, under Mount Hermon;
of which see ( Joshua 11:17 ) ;

unto the entering into Hamath:
which was the north border of the land; see ( Numbers 34:8 ) .

Giosué 13:5 In-Context

3 dallo Scihor che scorre a oriente dell’Egitto, sino al confine di Ekron a settentrione: regione, che va ritenuta come cananea e che appartiene ai cinque principi dei Filistei: a quello di Gaza, a quello di Asdod, a quello di Askalon, a quello di Gath, a quello di Ekron, e anche agli Avvei, a mezzogiorno;
4 tutto il paese dei Cananei, e Meara che è dei Sidoni, sino ad Afek, sino al confine degli Amorei;
5 il paese dei Ghibliti e tutto il Libano verso il levante, da Baal-Gad, appiè del monte Hermon, sino all’ingresso di Hamath;
6 tutti gli abitanti della contrada montuosa dal Libano fino a Misrefoth-Maim, tutti i Sidoni. Io li caccerò d’innanzi ai figliuoli d’Israele; e tu spartisci pure a sorte l’eredità di questo paese fra gl’Israeliti, nel modo che t’ho comandato.
7 Or dunque spartisci l’eredità di questo paese fra nove tribù e la mezza tribù di Manasse".
