Joshua - 16:1 Meaning

“And the lot of the children of Joseph fell from Jordan by Jericho, unto the water of Jericho on the east, to the wilderness that goeth up from Jericho throughout mount Bethel,”

King James Version (KJV)

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

16:1-10 Here is a list of the cities of Judah. But we do not here find Bethlehem, afterwards the city of David, and ennobled by the birth of our Lord Jesus in it. That city, which, at the best, was but little among the thousands of Judah, Mic 5:2, except that it was thus honoured, was now so little as not to be accounted one of the cities.

“He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack: but he that hideth his eyes shall have many a curse.”
