The Boundaries of Judah. v. 1. This, then, was the lot of the tribe of the children of Judah by their families, as it was drawn from the urn or as it fell upon casting; even to the border of Edom, the land be longing to the Edomites, south of the Dead Sea, the Wilderness of Zin southward was the uttermost part of the south coast. The territory of Judah thus extended to the very edge of the great desert in which the people had spent so many weary years. v. 2. And their south border was... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Joshua 15:1-63

In the settlement of the nine and a half tribes, Judah was the first dealt with as being the imperial and kingly tribe. The position allocated to it was the fighting front. It was touched by enemies on three sides; on the east, Moab; on the west, the Philistines; on the south, Edom. Away to the southwest were the Amalekites. The tribe whose standard was that of the kingly line, and from which that line presently was to spring, was to have its fiber toughened by the sternest... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Joshua 15:9

‘ And the border was drawn from the top of the mountain, to the spring of the waters of Nephtoah, and went out to the cities of Mount Ephron, and the border was drawn to Baalah, which is Kiriath-jearim.’ From the mountain at the northern end of the vale of Rephaim the border went to the spring of the waters of Nephtoah. This is probably to be identified as Lifta, four kilometres (two to three miles) north west of Jerusalem. From there it went to the cities (cluster of villages) of Mount... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Joshua 15:1-63

Joshua 15:1-Deuteronomy : reads rather confusedly. The statement is made that the following is the inheritance of Israel— a late writer, wishing to be more exact, says the 9½ tribes, and then proceeds to point out how the number 9½ was obtained. read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Joshua 15:1-63

Joshua 15:1 . This then was the lot of Judah. After the arduous toils of war, Joshua entered on an administration of affairs little less difficult than the conquest itself. The country was now rather hastily divided into ten lots, keeping in view the covenant made with those who had already received inheritance on the left bank of the Jordan, and reserving the right to vary the proportion of land to the population of the tribe. The elders proceeded to the important duties of the day in the... read more

Judah and the sons of Joseph seem to have obtained their settlements not only before the other tribes, but in a different manner.. They did not obtain them by lot, but apparently by their own choice and by early possession. Judah was not planted in the heart of the country. That position was gained by Ephraim and... read more
