“And the land of the Giblites, and all Lebanon, toward the sunrising, from Baal–gad under mount Hermon unto the entering into Hamath.”
The eastern Canaanite territory — And the land of the Gebalites, and all Lebanon, on the east, from Baal-gad below Mount Hermon to the entrance of Hamath. The Gebalites (associated with Byblos, a Phoenician city) and all of Lebanon (the northern mountain range) remain outside Israel's possession. Baal-gad to Hamath marks the northern boundary of Israel's potential expansion. This geography establishes what remains: the Phoenician coast, the Geshurite highlands east of Galilee, and the Canaanite mountain regions.
