SEV Biblia, Chapter 19:31

Esta es la heredad de la tribu de los hijos de Aser por sus familias; estas ciudades con sus aldeas.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 31. This [is] the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Asher , etc.] As before described, a goodly heritage; it was, according to the prediction of Jacob and Moses, ( Genesis 49:20 Deuteronomy 33:24,25); a very fruitful country. Josephus says, the country from Carmel called the valley, because it was such, even all over against Sidon, fell to the Asherites, Asher had Mount Libanus on the north, Naphtali on the east, Zebulun on the south and southeast, the sea on the west: according to their families ; the number of them, so their lot was divided to them: these cities with their villages ; before named.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 17-51 - Joshua waited till all the tribes were settled, before he asked an provision for himself. He was content to be unfixed, till he saw the all placed, and herein is an example to all in public places, to prefe the common welfare before private advantage. Those who labour most to do good to others, seek an inheritance in the Canaan above: but it wil be soon enough to enter thereon, when they have done all the service to their brethren of which they are capable. Nor can any thing mor effectually assure them of their title to it, than endeavouring to bring others to desire, to seek, and to obtain it. Our Lord Jesus cam and dwelt on earth, not in pomp but poverty, providing rest for man yet himself not having where to lay his head; for Christ pleased no himself. Nor would he enter upon his inheritance, till by his obedienc to death he secured the eternal inheritance for all his people; no will he account his own glory completed, till every ransomed sinner is put in possession of his heavenly rest __________________________________________________________________
