V.24-31 Two places within Asher’s area became quite famous: great Zidon (also spelled “Sidon” elsewhere) and the strong city of Tyre (vvs. 28-29). The Lord Jesus, many years later, was familiar with the kind of people who lived in those places when He was on earth. He found a woman of those parts who would not leave Him without getting her request (Matt. 15:21-18). These two cities are still in existence.
V.32-39 Chinnereth, verse 35, was a city on the shore of what we now call the sea of Galilee, an area in which the Lord Jesus, many years later, often traveled.
V.40-48 Leshem is the same as Laish. The tribe of Dan not only inherited land near Judah towards the Southern part of Palestine, but they also “went up,” verse 47, to the Northern end above the Sea of Galilee and took some land there where Leshem was.
V.49-50 The people appreciated so much what Joshua had done as their leader, that they give him personally an inheritance. In Greek, his name is Jesus. The Lord Jesus is going to receive His inheritance (Rom. 8:1717And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. (Romans 8:17)), and notice who are the “joint-heirs with Christ” (Rom. 8:1717And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. (Romans 8:17))! (v. 16)
V.51 Final decisions came from this one place of meeting.
