The mention of Neah, though not widely known today, indicates a specific landmark or settlement that was significant in defining the boundaries. The use of "circled around" suggests a precise and intentional demarcation, emphasizing the importance of clear borders for the tribes of Israel. This reflects the broader biblical theme of God’s order and provision for His people, ensuring each tribe had its allotted inheritance.<p><b>to Hannathon</b><br>Hannathon is identified as a town within the territory of Zebulun. Its mention here serves as a geographical marker, helping to establish the extent of Zebulun's land. The name Hannathon means "gracious" or "favored," which may reflect the blessings associated with the land. This location is also referenced in other ancient texts, indicating its historical significance. The precise identification of such towns underscores the historical reliability of the biblical narrative.<p><b>and ended at the Valley of Iphtah-el</b><br>The Valley of Iphtah-el marks the terminal point of this particular boundary description. Valleys in biblical times were often fertile and strategically important, providing resources and protection. The name Iphtah-el means "God opens," which could symbolize the opening or granting of land by divine providence. This valley's mention highlights the fulfillment of God's promises to the Israelites, as each tribe received its inheritance.

Methoar is supposed to be the Pual participle, and has been freely translated, "which is marked out," or, "which belongs to," Neah. But the passage is obscure.
