Commentary

Commentary on Joshua 18:21

Theological / Devotional

Cities of the tribe. These were divided into 2 groups, the first containing 12 cities in the eastern section, and the second 14 in the western section. Some of them have already been noticed in the description of their borders.

Jericho. That is, the site of Jericho. Under the curse of ch. 6:26 the city was not to be rebuilt (see on ch. 6:26).

Valley of Keziz. Since the writer is giving a list of cities, it seems more probable that this phrase should be given as a proper name, “Emek-keziz.” There is a Wadi el-Keziz east of Jerusalem, but the site of the town is unknown.
