This allocation is part of the division of the Promised Land among the twelve tribes of Israel, as described in the Book of Joshua. Arab's exact location is not definitively known today, but it is believed to have been situated in the hill country of Judah. The mention of Arab highlights the fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham regarding the land (<a href="/genesis/15-18.htm">Genesis 15:18-21</a>). The allocation of specific towns and regions to the tribes underscores the importance of land inheritance in Israelite culture, serving as a tangible sign of God's covenant faithfulness.<p><b>Dumah</b><br>Dumah is another town within the territory of Judah. The name "Dumah" can mean "silence" or "stillness," which may reflect the town's characteristics or its geographical setting. In biblical times, names often carried significant meanings or were indicative of the town's history or environment. Dumah is also mentioned in <a href="/isaiah/21-11.htm">Isaiah 21:11</a> as a prophetic oracle, though it is unclear if this refers to the same location. The inclusion of Dumah in Judah's inheritance emphasizes the comprehensive nature of the land distribution, ensuring that each tribe received its portion as promised by God.<p><b>Eshan</b><br>Eshan is listed among the towns in the inheritance of the tribe of Judah. Like many other towns mentioned in <a href="/joshua/15.htm">Joshua 15</a>, Eshan's precise location is not known today, but it was part of the southern hill country. The mention of Eshan, along with other towns, illustrates the detailed record-keeping and the importance of land division in ancient Israel. This meticulous allocation process reflects the orderly nature of God's provision and the importance of community and tribal identity within the nation of Israel. The listing of towns like Eshan serves as a historical record of the Israelites' settlement in the Promised Land, fulfilling the divine promise made to their ancestors.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/a/arab.htm">Arab</a></b><br>A town in the hill country of Judah.
