It is traditionally identified as the site of the Transfiguration of Jesus (<a href="/matthew/17.htm">Matthew 17:1-9</a>), although this is not explicitly stated in the Bible. In the context of Joshua, Tabor marks a boundary of the land allotted to the tribe of Issachar. Its strategic location made it a notable point in the tribal divisions of Israel.<p><b>Shahazumah</b><br>Little is known about Shahazumah, as it is not mentioned elsewhere in the Bible. Its inclusion here indicates its importance in defining the territorial boundaries. The lack of archaeological evidence suggests it may have been a smaller settlement or a landmark known to the people of that time.<p><b>and Beth-shemesh</b><br>Beth-shemesh, meaning "house of the sun," was a Levitical city within the territory of Issachar. It is mentioned in several other biblical passages, including the return of the Ark of the Covenant by the Philistines (<a href="/1_samuel/6-12.htm">1 Samuel 6:12-15</a>). This city played a role in the religious life of Israel, serving as a center for worship and Levitical duties.<p><b>and ended at the Jordan</b><br>The Jordan River is a significant geographical and spiritual boundary in the Bible. It represents the eastern border of the Promised Land and is the site of many important biblical events, including the crossing by the Israelites under Joshua's leadership (Joshua 3) and the baptism of Jesus by John the Baptist (<a href="/matthew/3-13.htm">Matthew 3:13-17</a>). The river symbolizes transition and new beginnings.<p><b>There were sixteen cities, along with their villages</b><br>The mention of sixteen cities highlights the organized distribution of land among the tribes of Israel. This allocation reflects God's promise to Abraham regarding the land (<a href="/genesis/15-18.htm">Genesis 15:18-21</a>) and demonstrates the fulfillment of His covenant.
