19:41

Zorah <06881> [Zorah.]

Situated on the frontiers of Dan and Judah, tens miles north from Eleutheropolis, towards Nicoplis, according to Eusebius, not far from Caphar Sorek.

[Zoreah.]

Ir Shemesh <05905> [Irshemesh.]

Supposed by some to be the same as Beth-shemesh in the tribe of Judah; but this latter city is evidently distinguished from it by being assigned by the tribe of Judah to the Levites. (ch. 21:16.) Ir-shemesh rendered [polis Sammaus] by the LXX., seems to be the same as Emmaus or Nicopolis, 22 miles south-east from Lydda, according to the Old Jerusalem Itinerary.


Joshua 19:38

19:38

Beth Anath <01043> [Beth-anath.]

Eusebius mentions a town of the name of [Batanaian,] fifteen miles from C‘sarea. (Dioc‘sarea or Sephoris probably.)

Joshua 18:17

En Shemesh <05885> [En-shemesh.]

The fountain of the Sun; whether a town, or simply a fountain, is uncertain.

Geliloth <01553> [Geliloth.]

Geliloth is probably the same as Gilgal; though as the word may signify border or limits, some think that it is probably not the proper name of a place: "And went forth towards the borders which are over against the ascent to Adummim." Others render Geliloth circuits or roundings, or the hills about Jordan, {tumuli Jordanis.} Vulgate: {pertransit usque ad tumulos.}

Stone <068> [the stone.]


Joshua 19:22

19:22

Tabor <08396> [Tabor.]

Beth Shemesh <01053> [Beth-shemesh.]


Joshua 10:12

10:12

sun <08121> [Sun.]

Joshua doubtless acted, on this occasion, by an immediate impulse upon his mind from the Spirit of God. The terms here employed to record the miracle, agree with the accustomed manner in which the the motions of the earth and sun are described in our own day. The sun apparently moves, but really is stationary; while the diurnal movement of the earth on its axis is by us unnoticed, and would not have been known except by astronomical science. The sun appeared to the Israelites over Gibeon, and the moon over the valley of Ajalon, and there they stayed in their course for "a whole day." Many vain enquiries have been made concerning the way in which this miracle was wrought, and many difficulties and objections have been urged against understanding it literally. But the fact is authenticated by the Divine testimony; and the manner in which it was accomplished lies entirely out of our province, because beyond our comprehension.
