Joshua 19:9

9 Some of the portion of the people of Judah belonged to the legacy of the people of Simeon. This was because the portion of the people of Judah was too large for them. So the people of Simeon received a legacy inside Judah's legacy.

Joshua 19:9 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 19:9

Out of the portion of the children of Judah [was] the
inheritance of the children of Simeon
Which is the reason why no description is given of the border of their inheritance, because that is before given in the account of the lot of Judah:

for the part of the children of Judah was too much for them:
they had more cities than they could fill with people, and more land than they could cultivate; they had an hundred fourteen cities with their villages:

therefore the children of Simeon had their inheritance within the
inheritance of them;
the one being a small tribe, and the other large, and for the reasons given; (See Gill on Joshua 19:1).

Joshua 19:9 In-Context

7 Ain, Rimmon, Ether, and Ashan. In total: four cities and their surrounding areas.

8 In addition were all the areas that surround these cities as far as Baalath-beer and Ramah of the arid southern plain. This is the legacy of the clans of the Simeonite tribe.

9 Some of the portion of the people of Judah belonged to the legacy of the people of Simeon. This was because the portion of the people of Judah was too large for them. So the people of Simeon received a legacy inside Judah's legacy.

10 The lot turned up third for the clans of Zebulun. The border of their legacy ran as far as Sarid.

11 Their border went up westward to Maralah, touched Dabbesheth, and touched the ravine that is opposite Jokneam.
