Context — Asher’s Inheritance
25Their territory included Helkath, Hali, Beten, Achshaph,
26Allammelech, Amad, and Mishal. On the west the border touched Carmel and Shihor-libnath,
27then turned eastward toward Beth-dagon, touched Zebulun and the Valley of Iphtah-el, and went north to Beth-emek and Neiel, passing Cabul on the left.
28It went on to Ebron, Rehob, Hammon, and Kanah, as far as Greater Sidon. 29The border then turned back toward Ramah as far as the fortified city of Tyre, turned toward Hosah, and came out at the Sea in the region of Achzib,Cross References

Joshua 19:27 Summary
The verse Joshua 19:27 describes the border of the tribe of Asher, which turned eastward toward Beth-dagon and then continued north. This border is significant because it shows how God provided for each tribe and gave them their own territory, as promised in Deuteronomy 1:8 and fulfilled in Joshua 21:43-45. Just like the tribes of Israel had their own borders, we can learn to respect and appreciate the boundaries and differences between people and communities, as taught in Galatians 3:28 and Acts 17:26-27. By studying this verse, we can gain a deeper understanding of God's care and provision for His people, as seen in Matthew 6:25-34 and Jeremiah 29:11.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the significance of Beth-dagon in Joshua 19:27?
Beth-dagon was a city in the territory of the tribe of Asher, and its mention in Joshua 19:27 helps to define the eastern border of Asher's territory, as it turned eastward toward Beth-dagon, and then continued north, as described in the book of Joshua 19:27 and also referenced in Judges 1:31-32.
Why does the border of Asher's territory seem to twist and turn in Joshua 19:27?
The border of Asher's territory, as described in Joshua 19:27, appears to twist and turn because it is following the natural geography of the land, including valleys and mountains, to define the boundaries between the different tribes, similar to how the borders of other tribes are described in the book of Joshua, such as in Joshua 18:11-20.
What is the Valley of Iphtah-el, and why is it mentioned in Joshua 19:27?
The Valley of Iphtah-el is a geographic location that helped to define the border of Asher's territory, and its mention in Joshua 19:27 provides a specific reference point for understanding the boundaries of the tribe, as seen in the context of Joshua 19:27 and other verses that describe the division of the land, such as Joshua 14:1-5.
How does the description of Asher's territory in Joshua 19:27 relate to the rest of the book of Joshua?
The description of Asher's territory in Joshua 19:27 is part of the larger narrative of the book of Joshua, which describes the division of the land among the tribes of Israel, as promised by God in Genesis 12:7 and fulfilled in Joshua 21:43-45.
Reflection Questions
- As I read about the borders of Asher's territory in Joshua 19:27, what can I learn about God's attention to detail and care for His people?
- How does the description of the natural geography of the land in Joshua 19:27 remind me of God's creation and provision, as seen in Psalms 95:4-5?
- What can I learn from the way the borders of the tribes are described in Joshua 19:27, in terms of how God wants us to live in community and respect one another's boundaries, as taught in Romans 12:18 and 1 Corinthians 13:4-7?
- As I reflect on the specific places mentioned in Joshua 19:27, such as Beth-dagon and the Valley of Iphtah-el, what can I learn about the importance of remembering and honoring our heritage, as seen in Psalm 77:11-12?
Gill's Exposition on Joshua 19:27
And turneth towards the sunrising,.... Or eastward, to Bethdagon; there was a city of this name in the tribe of Judah, [See comments on Joshua 15:41].
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Joshua 19:27
And turneth toward the sunrising to Bethdagon, and reacheth to Zebulun, and to the valley of Jiphthah-el toward the north side of Bethemek, and Neiel, and goeth out to Cabul on the left hand, To the
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Joshua 19:27
Either, 1. That country called Cabul, wherein were twenty cities, of which . But this is not probable, because that was not within nor belonging to any particular tribe; for then Solomon could not have alienated it from them, and given it unto Hiram, whereas this did belong to Asher. Or 2. A certain city so called. On the left hand, i.e. on the north, which, when men look towards the east, as is usual, is on their left hand.
Ellicott's Commentary on Joshua 19:27
(25) Their border.—The border of Asher on the west is the Mediterranean. On the east of Asher lies the tribe of Naphtali, but most of the towns named in these verses lie well within the territory of Asher. The northern end of the territory of this tribe lies beyond the limits of the Ordnance Survey, for it reaches “unto great Zidon” (Joshua 19:28). The southern boundary is said to be Carmel (Joshua 19:26), but no town is identified south of Cabul (Kabϋl, south-east of Akkah, sheet 5). The towns identified are as follows:— (25) El B’aneh, EL-Yasif or Kefr Yasif (sheet 3). (26) Khurbet-el-Amϋd, and M’aξsleh (? Kh.-Muslih) (sheet 3). Shihor-libnath (river of glass), the river Belus (sheet 5). (27) Beth-dagon (Tell-’ Daϋk), near the mouth of the Belus. Neiel.—(Y’Arϋn, sheet 5).
Cabul.—(Kabϋl, south-east of Akkah, sheet 5). (28) Hebron.—(Abdon, Kh.-Abdeh, sheet 3). Hammon (El Hama, sheet 3). Kanah (south-east of Tyre, sheet 1). (29) Tyre.—(es-Sϋr, sheet 1). Hosah (‘Ozziyeh, sheet 1). Achzib (es-Zib, sheet 3, on the coast). (See Joshua 15:44 for another place of same name.) Ummah (Kh.-Almah, north of Achzib).
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Joshua 19:27
Verse 27. Cabul on the left hand] That is, to the north of Cabul, for so the left hand, when referring to place, is understood among the Hebrews. We must not confound this town or Cabul with the twenty cities given by Solomon to Hiram, with which he was displeased, and which in contempt he called the land of Cabul, the dirty or paltry land, 1Kg 9:11-13: there was evidently a town of this name, widely different from the land so called, long before the time of Solomon, and therefore this cannot be adduced as an argument that the book of Joshua was written after the days of David. The town in question is supposed to be the same which Josephus in his Life calls χωβουλω Choboulo, and which he says was situated by the sea-side, and nigh to Ptolemais. De Bell. Jud., lib. iii., c. 4.
Cambridge Bible on Joshua 19:27
27. and turneth toward the sunrising] From the Shihor-libnath, the border, still keeping to the south of Carmel, turned in an easterly direction towards Beth-dagon, of which we know as little as of the Beth-dagon of Judah, above, Joshua 15:41. and reacheth to Zebulun] Thence it trended in a north-easterly direction, and “touched the border of Zebulun,” and the valley, or ravine, of Jiphthah-el, where, according to Joshua 19:14, were “the outgoings” of the north-western boundary of the latter tribe; and passed on north of Beth-emek and Neiel (which has been identified with Mi’ar), “and went out to Cabul on the left hand,” i.e. on the north side of it. Cabul] it is thought, may be considered as still existing in the modern Kabûl, found about eight or nine miles east of Akka, and thus on the very borders of Galilee. It is possible, therefore, that there may be some connection between this place and the district containing twenty cities, which was presented by Solomon to Hiram, king of Tyre (1 Kings 9:11-13). See Smith’s Bibl. Dict. under Cabul.
Whedon's Commentary on Joshua 19:27
27. Beth-dagon, house of Dagon, must be distinguished from that in Joshua 15:41. It was probably a Philistine colony, and situated somewhere east or northeast of Tantura. Zebulun is not a city, but the tribe.
