Joshua 19:23
"The border reached to Tabor, Shahazumah, and Beth Shemesh. Their border ended at the Jordan: sixteen cities with their villages."
Key Reflection
The borders described in Joshua 19:23 encompass a region extending from Mount Tabor to Shahazumah and Beth Shemesh, including sixteen cities and their surrounding villages. For the original audience, this detailed delineation of territory would have been crucial for organizing settlement and defense, establishing clear demarcations between different tribal lands in the newly conquered Promised Land.
