Giudici 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 ) .

22 La casa di Giuseppe salì anch’essa contro Bethel, e l’Eterno fu con loro.
23 La casa di Giuseppe mandò ad esplorare Bethel, città che prima si chiamava Luz.
24 E gli esploratori videro un uomo che usciva dalla cittĂ , e gli dissero: "Deh, insegnaci la via per entrare nella cittĂ , e noi ti tratteremo benignamente".
25 Egli insegnò loro la via per entrare nella città, ed essi passarono la città a fil di spada, ma lasciarono andare quell’uomo con tutta la sua famiglia.
