Study note
Setting — Joshua addresses the tribal leaders of Israel as he finalizes the territorial allotment for the tribe of Naphtali. He enumerates the specific towns assigned to complete their inheritance.
The words — The text lists Kedesh (קֶ֥דֶשׁ) and Edrei (אֶדְרֶ֖עִי), which function as proper place names marking locations within the assigned district.
The thread — Kedesh appears in Joshua 12:22 as the seat of a defeated Canaanite king and in Joshua 20:7 as a designated city of refuge in the hill country of Naphtali.
Why it lands — The passage requires the reader to track the precise geographic fulfillment of the land distribution mandate and the concrete reality of tribal boundaries.
