<strong>Keil</strong> and <strong>Delitzsch</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>Commentary</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>on</strong> the Old Testament<br />
<br />
lake Jamun was two hours to the west of the red c<strong>on</strong>vent, so that the boundary, which<br />
starts from the west, and is drawn first of all towards the north, and then to the northeast<br />
and east, must have run last of all from the red c<strong>on</strong>vent, and not from the Jamun<br />
lake to the Jordan. As Jabneel is menti<strong>on</strong>ed after Adami Nekeb , it must be sought for<br />
to the east of Adami Nekeb, whereas the Jamun lake lies in the very opposite<br />
directi<strong>on</strong>, namely, directly to the west of the red c<strong>on</strong>vent. The three places menti<strong>on</strong>ed,<br />
therefore, cannot be precisely determined at present. The Jordan, where the boundary<br />
of Asher terminated, was no doubt the upper Jordan, or rather the Nahr Hasbany , <strong>on</strong>e<br />
of the sources of the Jordan, which formed, together with the Huleh lake and the<br />
Jordan itself, between Lake Huleh and the Sea of Tiberias, and down to the point<br />
where it issues from the latter, the eastern boundary of Asher.<br />
Verse 34. From the Jordan below the Lake of Tiberias, or speaking more exactly,<br />
from the point at which the Wady Bessum enters the Jordan, "the boundary (of<br />
Asher) turned westwards to Asnoth-tabor, and went thence out to Hukkok." This<br />
boundary, i.e., the southern boundary of Asher, probably followed the course of the<br />
Wady Bessum from the Jordan, which wady was the boundary of Issachar <strong>on</strong> the<br />
north-east, and then ran most likely from Kefr Sabt (see at v. 22) to Asnoth-tabor ,<br />
i.e., according to the Onom. ( s. v. Azanoth ), a vicus ad regi<strong>on</strong>em Diocaesareae<br />
pertinens in campestribus , probably <strong>on</strong> the south-east of Diocaesarea , i.e.,<br />
Sepphoris , not far from Tabor, to which the boundary of Issachar extended (v. 22).<br />
Hukkok has not yet been traced. Robins<strong>on</strong> (Bibl. Res. p. 82) and Van de Velde (Mem.<br />
p. 322) are inclined to follow Rabbi Parchi of the fourteenth century, and identify<br />
this place with the village of Yakûk , <strong>on</strong> the north-west of the Lake of Gennesareth;<br />
but this village is too far to the north-east to have formed the terminal point of the<br />
southern boundary of Naphtali, as it ran westwards from the Jordan. After this<br />
Naphtali touched "Zebulun <strong>on</strong> the south, Asher <strong>on</strong> the west, and Judah by the Jordan<br />
toward the sun-rising or east." "The Jordan" is in appositi<strong>on</strong> to "Judah," in the sense<br />
of "Judah of the Jordan," like "Jordan of Jericho" in Num 22:1; 26:3, etc.<br />
The Masoretic pointing, which separates these two words, was founded up<strong>on</strong> some<br />
false noti<strong>on</strong> respecting this definiti<strong>on</strong> of the boundary, and caused the commentators<br />
