Joshua 19:24-31
_ _ Joshua 19:24-31. Of Asher.
_ _ the fifth lot came out for the tribe of the children of Asher — The western boundary is traced from north to south through the cities mentioned; the site of them, however, is unknown. |
Joshua 19:24-31
_ _ The lot of Asher lay upon the coast of the great sea. We read not of any famous person of this tribe but Anna the prophetess, who was a constant resident in the temple at the time of our Saviour's birth, Luke 2:36. Nor were there many famous places in this tribe. Aphek (mentioned Joshua 19:30) was the place near which Benhadad was beaten by Ahad, 1 Kings 20:30. But close adjoining to this tribe were the celebrated sea-port towns of Tyre and Sidon, which we read so much of. Tyre is called here that strong city (Joshua 19:29), but Bishop Patrick thinks it was not the same Tyre that we read of afterwards, for that was built on an island; this old strong city was on the continent. And it is conjectured by some that into these two strong-holds, Sidon and Tzor, or Tyre, many of the people of Canaan fled and took shelter when Joshua invaded them. |
The lot Asher lay upon the coast of the great sea. We read of only one remarkable person of this tribe, and that was Anna, the prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, a widow of about four-score and four years, which departed not from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day.
Luke 2:26- 38 And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord's Christ. ... And she coming in that instant gave thanks likewise unto the Lord, and spake of him to all them that looked for redemption in Jerusalem.
