JOSHUA 19:11 — KING JAMES VERSION 1 0

And their border goes up westward and toward Mareal, and touches Dabbesheth, then the brook that is east of Jokneam — The detailed boundary description emphasizes the precision of covenant land division. Jokneam, a fortified city, marks a significant geographical point. The inclusion of brooks and hills shows that boundaries follow natural topographical features; God's division respects and incorporates the land's physical reality.
