What Does Joshua 19:46 Mean?
The description of Dan's land reaches the coast near Japho, the port later known as Joppa. This set Dan's allotted territory against the shore of the Great Sea.
Joppa would become a notable place in the story of God's people, the harbor from which Jonah fled and where Peter saw his vision of the nations welcomed in (Acts 10). The coastline marked here borders a future opening of God's grace to all peoples.
