Joshua 19:22

Joshua 19:22 -

The coast reacheth. Literally, the border skirteth, as in Joshua 19:11 . Tabor . Perhaps the same as Chisloth-Tabor in Joshua 19:12 (cf. 1 Chronicles 6:77 ). It would therefore be, as Mount Tabor certainly was, on the boundary between the tribes of Issachar and Zebulun. Beth-shemesh. Not the well known town in the tribe of Judah ( Joshua 15:10 ). The repetition of this name is a proof of the extent to which sun worship prevailed in Palestine before the Israelite invasion.
