And their villages were Etam Etam is mentioned in several places in the Old Testament, including as a place fortified by Rehoboam in 2 Chronicles 11:6. It is often associated with the region of Judah. The name Etam means "lair of wild beasts," which may indicate its rugged terrain. This location is significant as it reflects the expansion and settlement patterns of the tribe of Simeon within the territory of Judah. Ain Rimmon Tochen and Ashan five towns— Persons / Places / Events 1. EtamA village mentioned in the territory of the tribe of Simeon. It is also referenced in other parts of the Bible, indicating its historical significance. 2. Ain Another village within the Simeonite territory. Its name means "spring" or "fountain," suggesting a place of water and life. 3. Rimmon A town that is also mentioned in the context of the tribe of Simeon. The name means "pomegranate," a symbol of abundance and blessing. 4. Tochen A lesser-known village, with limited biblical references, but part of the Simeonite inheritance. 5. Ashan A town that was part of the inheritance of the tribe of Simeon, also mentioned in the context of the Levitical cities. Teaching Points Understanding Our InheritanceJust as the tribe of Simeon received specific towns as their inheritance, believers today have a spiritual inheritance in Christ. Reflect on what it means to live in the fullness of that inheritance. Significance of Place The mention of specific towns reminds us that God values places and communities. Consider how God has placed you in your current community for a purpose. Historical Continuity The towns listed have historical significance, showing the continuity of God's plan through generations. Reflect on how your life is part of a larger account that God is weaving. Symbolism of Names The meanings of the town names (e.g., Ain as "spring") can inspire us to seek spiritual refreshment and abundance in our walk with God. Community and Belonging The listing of these towns within the Simeonite territory emphasizes the importance of community and belonging. Reflect on how you contribute to and benefit from your spiritual community.(32) And their villages.--This belongs to 1Chronicles 4:31. The verb should be cancelled. Etam, and Ain, Rimmon . . .--Why are these five cities separated from the former thirteen? The old Jewish expositors Rashi and Kimchi assert, that whereas the thirteen were lost to the Simeonites from the time of David, these five remained in their possession. The separation is made in Joshua 19 as well as here. (Many MSS. read "and Rimmon.") Five cities.--Joshua 19:7 : "Ain, Rimmon, and Ether, and Ashan; four cities and their villages." Etam may be a mistake for Ether. But there were two Etams, one in the hills of Judah, south of Bethlehem (see 1Chronicles 4:3, Note; 2Chronicles 11:6), and one in the south of Judah (Judges 15:8)--perhaps the place intended here. Ether occurs in Joshua 15:42 along with Ashan. Both were in the lowlands of Judah. Ain and Rimmon are spoken of as one place (Nehemiah 11:29): they must have been close to each other (comp. Buda-Pesth). Tochen only here. . . .
