What Does Joshua 15:11 Mean?
The northwestern line runs past the side of Ekron, one of the chief Philistine cities, and on through Shicron and Mount Baalah to Jabneel, finally reaching the Great Sea. The boundary here brushes up against territory the Philistines held.
Judah's allotted land reaches to the coast, even though strong enemies still dwelt near its edges. The promise was given in full, yet much remained to be possessed by faith and obedience. So the people of God always live between the gift already granted and the inheritance still to be claimed.
