This specificity underscores the importance of land inheritance in Israelite society, reflecting God's promise to Abraham regarding the land (<a href="/genesis/15-18.htm">Genesis 15:18-21</a>).<p><b>Rehob</b><br>Rehob is another city within the territory of Asher. It is mentioned in other biblical contexts, such as in the list of cities that the Israelites failed to conquer completely (<a href="/judges/1-31.htm">Judges 1:31</a>). This failure to fully drive out the inhabitants of Rehob and other cities led to ongoing challenges for the Israelites, illustrating the consequences of incomplete obedience to God's commands.<p><b>Hammon</b><br>Hammon is less frequently mentioned in the Bible, but its inclusion in the list of Asher's territory indicates its significance in defining the tribal boundaries. The name Hammon may be related to the Hebrew word for "hot" or "sun," suggesting a possible geographical or climatic characteristic of the area.<p><b>and Kanah</b><br>Kanah is another boundary marker for the tribe of Asher. The name means "reed" or "place of reeds," which may indicate a marshy or riverine environment. The precise location of Kanah is uncertain, but its mention helps to delineate the extent of Asher's inheritance. The careful recording of these boundaries reflects the importance of land distribution in fulfilling God's covenant promises.<p><b>as far as Greater Sidon</b><br>Greater Sidon refers to the prominent Phoenician city of Sidon, known for its wealth and influence in the ancient Near East. Sidon is frequently mentioned in the Bible, often in the context of Israel's interactions with neighboring peoples. The reference to Greater Sidon as a boundary point for Asher's territory highlights the proximity of the Israelites to powerful non-Israelite cultures, which would have significant implications for their history and faithfulness to God. Sidon's mention also connects to prophecies and narratives involving Tyre and Sidon, such as those found in Isaiah and Ezekiel, where these cities are often depicted as symbols of pride and eventual judgment.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/e/ebron.htm">Ebron</a></b><br>A location within the territory allotted to the tribe of Asher.

Rather, Ebron. It is not the same word as the Hebron in Judah, but is spelt with Ain instead of Hheth. In <a href="/joshua/21-30.htm">Joshua 21:30</a>, <a href="/1_chronicles/6-59.htm">1 Chronicles 6:59</a>, Abdon is the name of the city assigned to the Levites in Asher. Twenty MSS., says Keil, have the same reading here. But the LXX. has <span class="greek">Ἐβρων</span> here and <span class="greek">Αβδων</span> in <a href="/joshua/21-30.htm">Joshua 21:30</a>. The Hebrew <span class="hebrew">ד</span> and <span class="hebrew">ר</span> are so much alike that there is no doubt that the mistake has arisen earlier than the time when that translation was made. It is true that the lists of Levitical cities in <a href="/joshua/21.htm">Joshua 21</a>. and <a href="/1_chronicles/6.htm">1 Chronicles 6</a>. do not entirely correspond. But the resemblance here between the names is too striking to allow of the supposition that two different cities are meant. Great Zidon. This city, as well as Tyro, remained unsubdued, although assigned by Joshua to Asher. The boundary of Asher appears to have been traced first towards the west, then eastward, from a middle point on the southern border (see note on ver. 11), then to have been carried northward from the same point (the <span class="accented">left hand</span> usually means the north; see note on Teman, <a href="/joshua/15-1.htm">Joshua 15:1</a>), on the east side till it reached Cabul. Then the northern border is traced westward to Sidon. Then the border turned southward along the sea, which is not mentioned, because it would seem to be sufficiently defined by the mention of Ramah and Tyre. Between Hosah and Achzib there would seem to have been a greater paucity of cities, and therefore the sea is mentioned. <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/joshua/19-28.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">[It went on] to Ebron,</span><br /><span class="heb">וְעֶבְרֹ֥ן</span> <span class="translit">(wə·‘eḇ·rōn)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw | Noun - proper - feminine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_5683.htm">Strong's 5683: </a> </span><span class="str2">Ebron -- a place in Asher</span><br /><br /><span class="word">Rehob,</span><br /><span class="heb">וּרְחֹ֖ב</span> <span class="translit">(ū·rə·ḥōḇ)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw | Noun - proper - feminine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_7340.htm">Strong's 7340: </a> </span><span class="str2">Rechob</span><br /><br /><span class="word">Hammon,</span><br /><span class="heb">וְחַמּ֣וֹן</span> <span class="translit">(wə·ḥam·mō·wn)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw | Noun - proper<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_2540.htm">Strong's 2540: </a> </span><span class="str2">Hammon -- 'hot (spring)', two cities, one in Asher and one in Naphtali</span><br /><br /><span class="word">and Kanah,</span><br /><span class="heb">וְקָנָ֑ה</span> <span class="translit">(wə·qā·nāh)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw | Noun - proper - feminine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_7071.htm">Strong's 7071: </a> </span><span class="str2">Kanah -- a wadi between Ephraim and Manasseh, also a city in Asher</span><br /><br /><span class="word">as</span><br /><span class="heb">עַ֖ד</span> <span class="translit">(‘aḏ)</span><br /><span class="parse">Preposition<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_5704.htm">Strong's 5704: </a> </span><span class="str2">As far as, even to, up to, until, while</span><br /><br /><span class="word">far as Greater</span><br /><span class="heb">רַבָּֽה׃</span> <span class="translit">(rab·bāh)</span><br /><span class="parse">Adjective - feminine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_7227.htm">Strong's 7227: </a> </span><span class="str2">Much, many, great</span><br /><br /><span class="word">Sidon.</span><br /><span class="heb">צִיד֥וֹן</span> <span class="translit">(ṣî·ḏō·wn)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - proper - feminine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_6721.htm">Strong's 6721: </a> </span><span class="str2">Sidon -- a Phoenician city on the Mediterranean coast, also a son of Canaan</span><br /><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/joshua/19-28.htm">Joshua 19:28 NIV</a><br /><a href="/nlt/joshua/19-28.htm">Joshua 19:28 NLT</a><br /><a href="/esv/joshua/19-28.htm">Joshua 19:28 ESV</a><br /><a href="/nasb/joshua/19-28.htm">Joshua 19:28 NASB</a><br /><a href="/kjv/joshua/19-28.htm">Joshua 19:28 KJV</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="//bibleapps.com/joshua/19-28.htm">Joshua 19:28 BibleApps.com</a><br /><a href="//bibliaparalela.com/joshua/19-28.htm">Joshua 19:28 Biblia Paralela</a><br /><a href="//holybible.com.cn/joshua/19-28.htm">Joshua 19:28 Chinese Bible</a><br /><a href="//saintebible.com/joshua/19-28.htm">Joshua 19:28 French Bible</a><br /><a href="/catholic/joshua/19-28.htm">Joshua 19:28 Catholic Bible</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/joshua/19-28.htm">OT History: Joshua 19:28 And Ebron Rehob Hammon and Kanah even (Josh.
