Joshua 15:26

Study note

Setting — Joshua records the specific town list assigned to the tribe of Judah during the initial distribution of the Promised Land.

The words — The text names אֲמָ֥ם ('a.Mam), literally Amam, and וּ/מוֹלָדָֽה (u./mo.la.Dah), literally and Moladah, as consecutive settlement points.

The thread — Moladah appears again in 1 Chronicles 4:28 within a later inventory of Judah’s southern cities and their inhabitants.

Why it lands — The verse requires the reader to acknowledge that territorial inheritance is documented through exact place names, establishing a concrete foundation for later tribal identity and land claims.
