Context of Joshua 19:8

6Beth Lebaoth and Sharuhen. There were 13 towns and their villages. 7He also gave them Ain, Rimmon, Ether and Ashan. There were four towns and their villages. This included all the villages near them as far as Baalath Beer (also called Ramah, in the Negev). That was the land that Joshua gave to the families of Simeon's tribe. 9Because Judah had received more land than they needed, Joshua took some of their land for Simeon. So Simeon's tribe lived inside the land that Joshua had given to Judah. 10The next part of the land was for Zebulun's tribe, clan by clan. The border of their land went as far as Sarid.

The Simeonite territory is described by its towns, of which fourteen were in the Negeb, and four others Joshua 19:7 partly in the Negeb and partly in “the valley.” On the narrow confines here assigned to Simeon, and its insignificant position altogether among the Twelve tribes, see Deuteronomy 33:6…Read the comment
