Aznoth-tabor is likely a location near Mount Tabor, a significant landmark in the region. Mount Tabor is traditionally identified as the site of the Transfiguration of Jesus (<a href="/matthew/17.htm">Matthew 17:1-9</a>), making it a place of both historical and theological importance. The westward turn indicates a change in direction, suggesting a defined and deliberate demarcation of tribal territories.<p><b>and ran from there to Hukkok</b><br>Hukkok is a lesser-known location, but its mention here helps to establish the precise borders of Naphtali's inheritance. The specificity of these locations underscores the importance of land allocation among the tribes of Israel, as each tribe's territory was divinely ordained and essential for their identity and sustenance. This reflects the broader biblical theme of God's provision and order.<p><b>touching Zebulun on the south side</b><br>The mention of Zebulun indicates the neighboring tribe to the south of Naphtali. Zebulun's territory was strategically located, providing access to trade routes and fertile land. The relationship between Naphtali and Zebulun is significant, as both tribes are later mentioned in prophecies concerning the coming of the Messiah (<a href="/isaiah/9.htm">Isaiah 9:1-2</a>), fulfilled in the ministry of Jesus in Galilee (<a href="/matthew/4-13.htm">Matthew 4:13-16</a>).<p><b>Asher on the west</b><br>Asher's territory bordered Naphtali to the west. Asher was known for its fertile land and olive production, as indicated in Jacob's blessing (<a href="/genesis/49-20.htm">Genesis 49:20</a>). The proximity of Naphtali to Asher suggests potential for economic interaction and mutual support between the tribes. This geographical arrangement highlights the interconnectedness of the tribes within the Promised Land.<p><b>and Judah at the Jordan on the east</b><br>This phrase is somewhat puzzling, as Judah's main territory was far to the south. However, it may refer to a small enclave or a historical claim related to the Jordan River. The Jordan River is a significant biblical symbol, representing transition and divine intervention, as seen in the Israelites' crossing into the Promised Land (<a href="/joshua/3-14.htm">Joshua 3:14-17</a>) and Jesus' baptism (<a href="/matthew/3-13.htm">Matthew 3:13-17</a>). The mention of Judah here may also foreshadow the eventual unification of the tribes under Davidic kingship, with Judah playing a central role in Israel's history.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/a/aznoth-tabor.htm">Aznoth-tabor</a></b><br>A location mentioned as a boundary marker for the tribe of Naphtali.

This is the same word translated <span class="accented">skirteth</span> above, ver. 11, note. We have it here clearly stated that Naphtali was bordered on the south by Zebulun, on the west by Asher, and on the east by "Judah upon Jordan." To Judah. These words have caused great trouble to translators and expositors for 2,000 years. The LXX. omits them altogether, rendering, "and the Jordan to the eastward." The Masorites, by inserting a disjunctive accent between them and the words that follow, would have us render, "and to Judah: Jordan towards the sun rising," or, "is towards the sunrising," a rendering which gives no reasonable sense. They unquestionably form part of the text, since no version but the LXX. omits them. A suggestion of Von Raumer's has found favour that the cities called Havoth Jair, which were on the eastern side of Jordan, opposite the inheritance of Naphtali, are meant. Jair was a descendant of Judah by the father's side, through Hezron. So Ritter, 4:338 (see <a href="/1_chronicles/2-21.htm">1 Chronicles 2:21-23</a>). It would seem that the principle of female inheritance, having once been admitted in the tribe of Manasseh, was found capable of further extension. But to the majority of the Israelites this settlement would no doubt be regarded as an offshoot of the tribe of Judah. <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/joshua/19-34.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">Then the border</span><br /><span class="heb">הַגְּב֥וּל</span> <span class="translit">(hag·gə·ḇūl)</span><br /><span class="parse">Article | Noun -
