JOSHUA 19:38 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And Iron, and Migdal–el, Horem, and Beth–anath, and Beth–shemesh; nineteen cities with their villages.”
Iron, Migdal-el, Horem, Beth-anath, Beth-shemesh—nineteen cities with their villages — Beth-anath ('house of Anath,' the Canaanite goddess) suggests residual Canaanite cult associations; the city's Israelite occupation will require covenant vigilance. The 'nineteen cities' (tsha' esreh) indicates a substantial but not largest inheritance.
