Joshua 2:21
tied <07194> [And she bound.]
Joshua 9:20
curse <07110> [lest wrath.]
Joshua 13:4
Canaanite territory <0776 03669> [the land of.]
Arah <04632> [Mearah. or, the cave. Aphek.]
This is probably the Aphek spoken of in 1 Ki 20:26. 2 Ki 13:18, as the capital of the kings of Syria; and the same as is mentioned by Sozomen, Eusebius, and Theophanes, as situated near the river Adonis (now Nahr Ibrahim,) between Heliopolis and Byblos, and celebrated for the infamous temple of Venus the Aphacite. The village Afka, situated in the bottom of a valley, and hour and three quarters from Akoura, and three hours' distance from Lake Liemoun, is supposed to occupy its site. Burckhardt, however, could not hear of any remains of antiquity in it neighbourhood.
Amorite <0567> [the Amorites.]
Joshua 15:4
Azmon <06111> [Azmon.]
The last city they possessed towards Egypt; east of the River of Egypt or Rhinocorura.
Stream <05158> [river.]
Joshua 16:3
Beth Horon <01032> [Beth-horon.]
Eusebius says that the two Beth-horons were twelve miles from Jerusalem, towards Nicopolis or Emmaus: of which the one, called upper Beth-horon, from its situation, was built (rebuilt) by Solomon, and the other, called nether Beth-horon, was given to the Levites. Josephus places Beth-oron about 100 furlongs from Jerusalem. Dr. Clarke mentions an Arab village called Bethoor, about twelve miles from Jerusalem, a small distance from Rama, which he supposes, from its situation on a hill, to be Beth-horon the upper.
Gezer <01507> [Gezer.]
Probably the [gazara] of Eusebius, four miles from Nicopolis.
westward .................... sea <03220> [the sea]
Joshua 17:7
Asher <0836> [Asher.]
Eusebius says this was a town in his time not far from Neapolis, towards Scythopolis or Bethshan; between which towns it is also placed by the old Jerusalem Itinerary.
Micmethath <04366> [Michmethah.]
Situated, probably, east of Shechem, though its precise situation, as well as that of many others, cannot, at this distance of time, be ascertained. Many of these towns were small, and we may rationally conclude, slightly built; and consequently have perished more than two thousand years ago. It would therefore be useless now to look for such places; though in many instances, their ancient names have been preserved, and their sites identified. Several towns even in England, mentioned by C‘sar and other ancient writers, are no longer discernible; several have changed their names, and not a few their situation.
Shechem <07927> [Shechem.]
Joshua 18:9
mapped it ..... out <03789> [described.]
The surveyors seem to have formed some kind of map of the country, as well as a description of it in writing. The Egyptians, from the situation of their fields, as annually overflowed by the Nile, acquired great skill in mensuration and land surveying; and some of the Israelites had, no doubt, learned these from them, without a knowledge of which they could not properly have divided the land. This is probably the first act of surveying on record.
seven <07651> [into seven.]
Joshua 19:12
Kisloth Tabor <03696> [Chisloth-tabor.]
Called Chasalus by Eusebius and Jerome, and placed at the foot of mount Tabor, eight miles east of Dioc‘sarea.
Daberath <01705> [Daberath.]
Josephus, who calls this town Dabaritta, or Darabitta, places it in the plain of Jezreel, or Esdraelon, on the confines of Samaria and Galilee. It is probably the Dabira which Jerome place towards amount Tabor, in the district of Dioc‘sarea; and the Debora or Daboura, mentioned by travellers as a village at the foot of mount Tabor.
[Dabareh.]
Japhia <03309> [Japhia.]
Probably Japha, a city of Galilee, near Jotapata, mentioned by Josephus.
Joshua 23:1
Lord <03068> [the Lord.]
