Joshua 13:4 - John Wesley's Notes

Joshua 13:4

2 ^aThis is the land that yet remains: ^ball the territory of the Philistines and all ^cthat of the Geshurites,

3 ^afrom Sihor, which is east of Egypt, as far as the border of Ekron northward (which is counted as Canaanite); the ^bfive lords of the Philistines—the Gazites, the Ashdodites, the Ashkelonites, the Gittites, and the Ekronites; also ^cthe Avites;

4 from the south, all the land of the Canaanites, and Mearah that belongs to the Sidonians ^aas far as Aphek, to the border of ^bthe Amorites;

5 the land of ^athe Gebalites, and all Lebanon, toward the sunrise, ^bfrom Baal Gad below Mount Hermon as far as the entrance to Hamath;

6 all the inhabitants of the mountains from Lebanon as far as ^athe Brook Misrephoth, and all the Sidonians—them ^bI will drive out from before the children of Israel; only ^cdivide it by lot to Israel as an inheritance, as I have commanded you.

Joshua 13:4

From the south - That is, from those southern parts of the sea - coast, now possessed by the Philistines, all the more northern parts of the sea - coast being yet inhibited by the Canaanites, almost as far as Sidon. The Amorites - The Amorites were a very strong and numerous people, and we find them dispersed in several parts, some within Jordan, and some without it, some in the south and others in the north, of whom he speaks here.
