Tafsiran/Catatan -- Catatan Kata/Frasa (per frasa)

JFB: Jos 19:32-39 - the sixth lot came out to the children of Naphtali

Although the cities mentioned have not been discovered, it is evident, from Zaanannim, which is by Kedesh, that is, on the northwest of Lake Merom (Jdg 4:11), that the boundary described (Jos 19:34) ran from the southwest towards the northeast, up to the sources of the Jordan.

Clarke: Jos 19:38 - Nineteen cities

Nineteen cities - But if these cities be separately enumerated they amount to twenty-three; this is probably occasioned by reckoning frontier cities belonging to other tribes, which are only mentioned here as the boundaries of the tribe. See on Jos 19:30 (note).

TSK: Jos 19:38 - Bethanath // Bethshemesh

Bethanath : Eusebius mentions a town of the name of Βαταναιαν , fifteen miles from Cesarea. (Diocesarea or Sephoris probably.)

Bethshemesh : Jos 19:22

Haydock: Jos 19:38 - Bethanath // Nineteen

Bethanath, "the house of poverty," is Betanea, 15 miles from Cæsarea. (Eusebius) ---

Nineteen. Twenty-three places are mentioned. But some might only be villages, &c., chap. xv. 62.

Gill: Jos 19:38 - And Iron // and Migdalel // and Horem // and Bethanath // and Bethshemesh // nineteen cities with their villages

And Iron,.... Of Iron no mention is made elsewhere:

and Migdalel, which Jerom calls Magdiel, he says ^m was shown a small village, five miles from Dara, as you go to Ptolemais:

and Horem is not mentioned anywhere elsewhere;

and Bethanath; Jerom also relates ⁿ, that Bathana, in the tribe of Naphtali, was a village that went by the name of Betbanes, fifteen miles from Caesarea:

and Bethshemesh was another city, in which was a temple dedicated to the sun, when inhabited by the Canaanites; see Jos 19:22; and so in Bethanath there might be a temple dedicated to some deity, though now uncertain what:

nineteen cities with their villages; there are more mentioned, but some of them might be only boundaries, and so belonged to another tribe.
