Verse 34
34. Turneth westward Probably in a southwesterly direction. [ Hukkok is recognised by Robinson and others in the modern Yakuk, a village six or seven miles northwest from the Sea of Galilee.
Zebulun on the south… Asher on the west This is merely giving the boundaries in general terms.
And to Judah upon the Jordan This is a faulty translation. And to Judah belongs to the previous sentence, which describes the western border. Literally, It touched Asher on the west and at Judah. Judah was evidently a city on the western border, perhaps at Jehudiyah, marked on Van de Velde’s map east of Tyre and a few miles north of Tibnin. The rest of the verse forms a distinct sentence:
Jordan toward the sunrising That is, the Jordan formed the eastern boundary.
