SEV Biblia, Chapter 19:46
y Mejarcón, y Racón, con el término que está delante de Jope.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Joshua 19:46
Verse 46. Japho.] The place since called Joppa, lying on the Mediterranean, and the chief sea-port, in the possession of the twelve tribes.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 46. And Mejarkon, and Rakkon , etc.] Of the two first of these we read no where else. with the border before Japho ; Japho is the same with Joppa, now called at this day Jaffa, a port in the Mediterranean sea, famous for being the place where Jonah took shipping, (see Gill on “Jon 1:3”); and where the Apostle Peter resided some time, (see Gill on “ Acts 9:36”); and (see Gill on “ Acts 9:38”). It is not certain whether Joppa itself was in the tribe of Dan, or only on the borders of it; the coast of Dan reached “over against” it, as it may be rendered, and included the villages and little cities that were near it; for such there were, as Josephus testifies.
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 __________________________________________________________________
