“Ain, Remmon, and Ether, and Ashan; four cities and their villages:”
Eltolad, Bethul, Hormah — Hormah, whose name means 'destruction' or 'devoted to destruction' (from ḥērem, the covenant principle of total consecration), recalls the Israelite defeat at Hormah in Numbers 14. The inclusion of Hormah in Simeon's inheritance represents restoration after failure; the site of Israel's disobedience becomes Simeon's possession under Joshua's covenant renewal.
