Giosué 18:14

Listen to Giosué 18:14
14 Poi il confine si prolungava e, dal lato occidentale, girava a mezzogiorno del monte posto difaccia a Beth-Horon, e facea capo a Kiriath-Baal, che è Kiriath-Iearim, città de’ figliuoli di Giuda. Questo era il lato occidentale.

Giosué 18:14 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 18:14

And the border was drawn [thence]
From Bethhoron:

and compassed the corner of the sea southward;
it is hard to say what sea is meant, or what by it. Fuller F11 conjectures, that as the Hebrews call any confluence of water a sea, as we call such a "mere", the great waters in Gibeon may be meant, ( Jeremiah 41:12 ) ; for it cannot mean the Mediterranean sea, for Dan lay between Benjamin and that; and yet if a sea is meant, no other can be; wherefore it is best to render it the "west quarter", as it is in the latter part of this verse; and so the same word is translated, ( Joshua 18:12 ) ; the "west", and not the "sea", as it sometimes is; for the border of Benjamin did not reach the sea any where; though Josephus F12 makes it to extend to it, and says, that the length of it was from the river Jordan to the sea:

the hill that [lieth] before Bethhoron southward;
the hill that lay to the south of nether Bethhoron, as in ( Joshua 18:13 ) :

and the goings out thereof,
the end of the western coast,

were at Kirjathbaal, which [is] Kirjathjearim, a city of the children
of Judah;
of which see ( Joshua 15:9 Joshua 15:60 ) ;

this [was] the west quarter;
as thus described.

Giosué 18:14 In-Context

12 Dal lato di settentrione, il loro confine partiva dal Giordano, risaliva il versante di Gerico al nord, saliva per la contrada montuosa verso occidente, e facea capo al deserto di Beth-Aven.
13 Di la passava per Luz, sul versante meridionale di Luz (che è Bethel), e scendeva ad Ataroth-Addar, presso il monte che è a mezzogiorno di Beth-Horon disotto.
14 Poi il confine si prolungava e, dal lato occidentale, girava a mezzogiorno del monte posto difaccia a Beth-Horon, e facea capo a Kiriath-Baal, che è Kiriath-Iearim, città de’ figliuoli di Giuda. Questo era il lato occidentale.
15 Il lato di mezzogiorno cominciava all’estremità di Kiriath-Iearim. Il confine si prolungava verso occidente fino alla sorgente delle acque di Neftoah;
16 poi scendeva all’estremità del monte posto di faccia alla valle di Ben-Hinnom, che è nella vallata dei Refaim, al nord, e scendeva per la valle di Hinnom, sul versante meridionale dei Gebusei, fino a En-Roghel.
