Joshua 19:14

Then the border circled around the north side of Neah to Hannathon and ended at the Valley of Iphtah-el.

Berean Standard Bible

Study note

Setting — Joshua reports the survey results to the assembled tribes as the territorial allotment process advances through the northern districts.

The words — וְנָסַב (ve.nasav) literally means "and it turns," capturing the boundary's directional shift, while הַגְּבוּל (ha.gvul) denotes "the border" that is being traced.

The thread — This verse functions as a waypoint in the continuous boundary survey of Joshua 19:10–16, linking the curve around Neah to Hannathon and the Valley of Iphtah-el.

Why it lands — It demands that the reader track the exact sequence of landmarks to comprehend how the territory was divided and assigned.
