The mention of such a place underscores the detailed nature of the land distribution, reflecting God's promise to give each tribe a distinct inheritance.<p><b>Amad</b><br />The name "Amad" is less well-known, and its exact location remains uncertain. However, its inclusion in the list of boundary markers highlights the precision with which the land was divided. This reflects the care and orderliness of God's provision for His people, ensuring that each tribe received its rightful inheritance.<p><b>Mishal</b><br />Mishal, meaning "entreaty" or "request," was a town within the territory of Asher. It later became a Levitical city, as noted in <a href="/1_chronicles/6-74.htm">1 Chronicles 6:74</a>. This transition to a Levitical city signifies the integration of spiritual leadership within the community, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a focus on worship and service to God.<p><b>On the west the border touched Carmel</b><br />Mount Carmel is a significant geographical and spiritual landmark in Israel. Known for its lush vegetation and strategic location, Carmel was a place of beauty and fertility. Spiritually, it is renowned as the site of Elijah's confrontation with the prophets of Baal (1 Kings 18). The mention of Carmel in the boundary description highlights the richness and diversity of the land God provided to His people.<p><b>Shihor-libnath</b><br />The name "Shihor-libnath" is thought to refer to a river or stream, possibly meaning "black river" or "river of white." This boundary marker indicates the natural features that defined the tribal territories. The use of natural landmarks in delineating borders reflects the integration of God's creation into the life and identity of His people, reminding them of His sovereignty over the land and their dependence on His provision.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/joshua/19.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 26.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">Reacheth</span>. Literally, <span class="accented">toucheth, i.e. skirteth</span>, as in vers. 11 and 22. So in the next verse, with regard to Zebulun. The term appears to be the invariable one when a district, not a particular place, is spoken cf. <span class="cmt_word">To Carmel westward.</span> The Carmel range appears to have been included in the tribe of Asher. For we read (<a href="/joshua/17-10.htm">Joshua 17:10, 11</a>) that Asher met Manasseh on the north, whence we conclude that it must have cut off Issachar from the sea, and that as Dor was among the towns which Manasseh held within the territory of Issachar and Asher, it must therefore have been within the boundaries of the latter. <span class="cmt_word">Shihor-libnath.</span> For Shihor see <a href="/joshua/13-3.htm">Joshua 13:3</a>. Libnath, which signifies white or shining, has been supposed by some to mean <span class="accented">the glassy river</span>, from its calm, unbroken flow, though this appears improbable, since Shihor means turbid. It is far more probable that the current was rendered turbid by a quantity of chalk or limestone which it carried along in its course, and hence the name "muddy white." Keil thinks it to be the Nahr-el-Zerka, or crocodile river, of Pliny, in which Beland, Von Raumer, Knobel, and Rosenmuller agree with him. But when he proceeds to argue that this river, being blue, "might answer both to <span class="accented">shihor</span>, black, and <span class="accented">libnath</span>, white," he takes a flight in which it is impossible to follow him. Gesenius, from the glazed appearance of burnt brick or tiles (<span class="accented">l'banah</span>), conjectures,that it may be the Belus, or "glass river," so called, however, in ancient times because the fine sand on its banks enabled the manufacture of glass to be carried on here. But this, emptying itself into the sea near Acre, has been thought to be too far north. Vandevelde, however, one of the latest authorities, as well as Mr. Conder, is inclined to agree with Gesenius. The difficulty of this identification consists in the fact that <span class="accented">Carmel</span> and <span class="accented">Dor</span> (<a href="/joshua/17-11.htm">Joshua 17:11</a>) are said to have been in Asher (see note on Joshua 17:10). The Nahr-el-Zerka has not been found by recent explorers to contain crocodiles, but it has been thought possible that they have hitherto eluded observation. Kenrick, however ('Phoenicia,' p. 24), thinks that as <span class="accented">crocodilus</span> originally meant a lizard, the <span class="accented">lacertus Niloticus</span> is meant, the river being, in his opinion, too shallow in summa to be the haunt of the crocodile proper (see also Tristram, 'Land of Israel.' p. 103, who believes it possible that the crocodile may be found there, though no specimen has as yet been produced). The Zerkais described in Palestine Exploration Fund Quarterly Paper, January, 1874, as "a torpid stream flowing through fetid marshes, in which reeds, canes, and the stunted papyrus grow." When it is added, "and where alone in Palestine the crocodile is found," no evidence is given in favour of the statement. It empties itself into the sea between Dor and Caesarea, a few miles north of the latter. <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/joshua/19-26.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">Allammelech,</span><br /><span class="heb">וְאַֽלַמֶּ֥לֶךְ</span> <span class="translit">(wə·’a·lam·me·leḵ)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw | Noun - proper - feminine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_487.htm">Strong's 487: </a> </span><span class="str2">Allammelech -- 'an oak of (the) king', a place in Asher</span><br /><br /><span class="word">Amad,</span><br /><span class="heb">וְעַמְעָ֖ד</span> <span class="translit">(wə·‘am·‘āḏ)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw | Noun - proper - feminine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_6008.htm">Strong's 6008: </a> </span><span class="str2">Amad -- a place in Asher</span><br /><br /><span class="word">and Mishal.</span><br /><span class="heb">וּמִשְׁאָ֑ל</span> <span class="translit">(ū·miš·’āl)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw | Noun - proper - feminine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_4861.htm">Strong's 4861: </a> </span><span class="str2">Mishal -- a place in Asher</span><br /><br /><span class="word">On the west</span><br /><span class="heb">הַיָּ֔מָּה</span> <span class="translit">(hay·yām·māh)</span><br /><span class="parse">Article | Noun - masculine singular | third person feminine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3220.htm">Strong's 3220: </a> </span><span class="str2">A sea, the Mediterranean Sea, large river, an artifical basin</span><br /><br /><span class="word">[the border] touched</span><br /><span class="heb">וּפָגַ֤ע</span> <span class="translit">(ū·p̄ā·ḡa‘)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Conjunctive perfect - third person masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_6293.htm">Strong's 6293: </a> </span><span class="str2">To impinge, by accident, violence, by importunity</span><br /><br /><span class="word">Carmel</span><br /><span class="heb">בְּכַרְמֶל֙</span> <span class="translit">(bə·ḵar·mel)</span><br /><span class="parse">Preposition-b | Noun - proper - feminine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3760.htm">Strong's 3760: </a> </span><span class="str2">Carmel -- a mountain promontory on the Mediterranean, also a city near Hebron</span><br /><br /><span class="word">and Shihor-libnath,</span><br /><span class="heb">לִבְנָֽת׃</span> <span class="translit">(liḇ·nāṯ)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw, Preposition | Noun - proper - feminine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_7884.htm">Strong's 7884: </a> </span><span class="str2">Shihor-libnath -- a stream in Asher</span><br /><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/joshua/19-26.htm">Joshua 19:26 NIV</a><br /><a href="/nlt/joshua/19-26.htm">Joshua 19:26 NLT</a><br /><a href="/esv/joshua/19-26.htm">Joshua 19:26 ESV</a><br /><a href="/nasb/joshua/19-26.htm">Joshua 19:26 NASB</a><br /><a href="/kjv/joshua/19-26.htm">Joshua 19:26 KJV</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="//bibleapps.com/joshua/19-26.htm">Joshua 19:26 BibleApps.com</a><br /><a href="//bibliaparalela.com/joshua/19-26.htm">Joshua 19:26 Biblia Paralela</a><br /><a href="//holybible.com.cn/joshua/19-26.htm">Joshua 19:26 Chinese Bible</a><br /><a href="//saintebible.com/joshua/19-26.htm">Joshua 19:26 French Bible</a><br /><a href="/catholic/joshua/19-26.htm">Joshua 19:26 Catholic Bible</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/joshua/19-26.htm">OT History: Joshua 19:26 Allammelech Amad Mishal (Josh.
