Joshua 15:43 MEANING



Joshua 15:43
15:20-63 Here is a list of the cities of Judah. But we do not here find Bethlehem, afterwards the city of David, and ennobled by the birth of our Lord Jesus in it. That city, which, at the best, was but little among the thousands of Judah, Mic 5:2, except that it was thus honoured, was now so little as not to be accounted one of the cities.And Jiphtah,.... Jiphtah is nowhere else mentioned:

and Ashnah; there was another Ashnah of this tribe, and which was in the vale also, met with already in Joshua 15:33,

and Nezib was in Jerom's (a) times called Nasib, seven miles from Eleutheropolis, as you go to Hebron.

(a) De loc. Heb. fol. 93. I.
