Context of Joshua 19:29

27Then it went east towards Beth Dagon, to touch Zebulun and the valley of Iphtah El. Then their border went north to Beth Emek and Neiel. It continued to Cabul in the north. 28It went to Abdon, Rehob, Hammon and Kanah, as far as Great Sidon. Then the border turned towards Ramah, and it went as far as the strong city of Tyre. Then it turned to Hosah and it ended at the Mediterranean Sea. Their towns included Hebel, Aczib, 30Ummah, Aphek and Rehob. They received 22 towns and their villages. 31That was the land that Joshua gave to the families of Asher's tribe, as well as the towns and their villages.

Commentaries on Joshua 19:29

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 29The strong city Tyre - I suspect this to be an improper translation. Perhaps the words of the original should be retained: And the coast turneth to Ramah and to the city, צר מבצר mibtsar tsor . Our translators have here left the Hebrew, and followed the Septuagint and Vulgate, a fault of which they are sometimes guilty. The former render the place ̔ , unto the fortified city of the Tyrians. The Vulgate is nearly the same: ad civitatem munitissimam Tyrum…Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 28-30Verses 28-30 These verses refer to the northern portion of the territory of Asher, on the Phoenician frontier. Some names may have dropped out of the text, the number Joshua 19:30 not tallying with the catalogue. Ramah still retains its ancient name, and lies about twelve miles southeast of Tyre. Achzib is the modern “Zib,” on the coast, eight or nine miles north of Acre.Read the comment
• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 17-51Verses 17-51 Joshua waited till all the tribes were settled, before he asked any provision for himself. He was content to be unfixed, till he saw them all placed, and herein is an example to all in public places, to prefer the common welfare before private advantage. Those who labour most to do good to others, seek an inheritance in the Canaan above: but it will be soon enough to enter thereon, when they have done all the service to their brethren of…Read the comment
