Asher's name means "happy" or "blessed," reflecting the tribe's anticipated prosperity and abundance. Historically, the tribe of Asher was located in the fertile region of northern Canaan, which aligns with Jacob's blessing in <a href="/genesis/49-20.htm">Genesis 49:20</a>, where Asher's food is described as rich and fit for a king. This context highlights the divine provision and favor upon Asher, symbolizing spiritual abundance and blessing for believers.<p><b>they received</b><br />The phrase "they received" indicates the allocation of land, a fulfillment of God's promise to the Israelites. This distribution of land was not merely a physical inheritance but a spiritual one, signifying God's faithfulness and the establishment of His people in the Promised Land. It serves as a reminder of God's sovereignty and the importance of obedience and trust in His promises.<p><b>Mashal</b><br />Mashal, one of the cities given to the tribe of Asher, is not widely mentioned elsewhere in Scripture, but its inclusion here signifies the completeness of God's provision. The name "Mashal" can be associated with the Hebrew root meaning "to rule" or "to have dominion," which may symbolize the authority and stewardship entrusted to God's people over the land.<p><b>Abdon</b><br />Abdon is another city allocated to the tribe of Asher. The name "Abdon" means "servant" or "service," reflecting the call to servanthood and humility in the life of a believer. This city, like others, represents the diverse roles and responsibilities within the community of faith, emphasizing that each place and person has a purpose in God's plan.<p><b>Hukok</b><br />Hukok, also known as Hukkok, is a city whose name means "decree" or "statute." This name underscores the importance of God's law and commandments in the life of His people. The allocation of Hukok to the tribe of Asher serves as a reminder of the centrality of God's Word and the need for His statutes to guide and govern the lives of believers.<p><b>Rehob</b><br />Rehob, meaning "broad" or "spacious," suggests a place of enlargement and freedom. This city represents the expansive nature of God's blessings and the freedom found in living according to His will. Rehob's inclusion in the inheritance of Asher highlights the breadth of God's grace and the spaciousness of His provision for His people.<p><b>together with their pasturelands</b><br />The mention of "pasturelands" indicates the provision for sustenance and livelihood. Pasturelands were essential for grazing livestock, which was a primary source of wealth and sustenance in ancient Israel. This provision reflects God's care for the physical needs of His people, paralleling the spiritual nourishment He provides. It serves as a metaphor for the spiritual pastures where believers find rest and sustenance in God's presence, as echoed in <a href="/psalms/23-2.htm">Psalm 23:2</a>, where the Lord leads His people beside quiet waters and makes them lie down in green pastures.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/tribe_of_asher.htm">Tribe of Asher</a></b><br>One of the twelve tribes of Israel, descended from Asher, the eighth son of Jacob and Zilpah.
