Commentary

Commentary on Joshua 19:29

Theological / Devotional

The coast turneth. Rather, “the boundary turneth.”

Rantah. The site of Ramah is unknown, but has been thought by some to be the present Rameh, 25 mi. (40.3 km.) southeast by south from Tyre.

The strong city Tyre. Literally, “the city of the fortified rock.” The famous city on the rock was not built until about 200 years later. Therefore the reference must be either to mainland Tyre or some other fortified rock in Asher.

Coast to Achzib. Literally, “district of Achzib.” The sentence means that the boundary just described ends at the sea in the district or region that belonged to Achzib.

Achzib has been identified with the modern city of ez-Zib, 8 3/4 mi. (14 km.) above Acre.
