What Does Joshua 15:28 Mean?
Among these southern towns is Beersheba, the well of the oath, long bound up with the lives of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. It became proverbial as the southern limit of the land, in the phrase from Dan to Beersheba.
A place where the patriarchs had dug wells and called on the name of the Lord now passes to their descendants as promised. The God who met the fathers at Beersheba keeps faith with their children. The ground hallowed by an earlier generation's worship becomes the inheritance of the next.
Joshua 15:28 in the Original Language
