Josh. 19:1–9 The allotment for Simeon fell in the midst . . . of Judah (v. 1; see note on Gen. 49:5–7). Because of this, no boundary description is given for Simeon, only a list of cities.
Josh. 19:15 Bethlehem is a northerly village, not the more famous Bethlehem in Judah.
Josh. 19:47 On how Dan’s territory was lost to them, see Judg. 1:34. The story of how Dan went up and fought against Leshem is told in Judges 18.
Josh. 19:49–50 By command of the Lord, Joshua is given Timnath-serah (called Timnath-heres in the notice of Joshua’s death in Judg. 2:6–10). The site is in southwest Ephraim. Joshua receives his inheritance only after all others have received theirs. This speaks well of him as a leader.
Josh. 19:51 Eleazar the priest. See note on 14:1.
