What Does Joshua 18:17 Mean?
The line bends north toward Enshemesh, then to Geliloth opposite the ascent of Adummim, and down to the stone of Bohan, son of Reuben, a marker set up to remember a man of an earlier generation.
Even a single stone bearing a man's name helps fix the boundary. The land is full of such memorials, small witnesses that real people walked here before. God's gift is woven through human history, each landmark a quiet sign that the story is continuous and remembered.
