Keil and Delitzsch ong>Commentaryong> on the Old Testament http://207.44.232.113/~bible/comment/ot/k&d/josh/jos129.html (3 of 3) [13/08/2004 01:19:20 p.m.]

Keil and Delitzsch ong>Commentaryong> on the Old Testament Remeth (see ch. 19:21), and En-gannim (ch. 19:21, or Anem , 1 Chron 6:73). Verse 30-31. From Asher they received four towns: Mishal or Masal (Josh 19:26; cf. 1 Chron 6:74), Abdon (Josh 19:28), Helkath (ch. 19:25, called Hukok in 1 Chron 6:75, probably a copyist's error), and Rehob (Josh 19:28). Verse 32. From Naphtali they received three towns: Kedesh (Josh 19:37 and 12:22), Hammoth-dor (called Hammath in Josh 19:35, and Hammon in 1 Chron 6:76), and Kartan (contracted from Kartain for Kirjathaim , 1 Chron 6:76; like Dothan in 2 Kings 6:13, from Dothain in Gen 37:17). Kartan is not mentioned among the towns of Naphtali in Josh 19:33ff.; according to Knobel it may possibly be Katanah , a place with ruins to the north-east of Safed ( Van de Velde , Mem. p. 147). Verse 33. They received thirteen towns in all. Verse 34-35. The Merarites received twelve towns. From the tribe of Zebulun they received four: Jokneam (Josh 19:11: see at ch. 12:22), Kartah and Dimnah , (Note: Many commentators identify Dimnah with Rimmono in 1 Chr. 7:77 , but without sufficient reason; for the next of the Chronicles is no doubt corrupt in this passage, as it has only two names, Rimmono and Tabor , instead of four.) which are not mentioned among the towns of Zebulun in Josh 19:11ff., and are unknown, and Nahalal (ch. 19:15). Verse 36-37. From Reuben they received four: Gezer (Josh 20:8: see Deut 4:43), Jahza, Kedemoth , and Mephaath (Josh 13:18). (Note: R. Jacob ben Chajim has omitted vv. 36 and 37 from his Rabbinical Bible of the year 1525 as spurious, upon the authority of Kimchi and the larger Masora; but upon insufficient grounds, as these verses are to be found in many good MSS and old editions of an earlier date than 1525, as well as in all the ancient versions, and could not possibly have been wanting from the very first, since the Merarites received twelve towns, which included the four that belonged to Reuben.
