From Sarid
The word "Sarid" is derived from the Hebrew root "שָׂרִיד" (sarid), meaning "survivor" or "remnant." This name may symbolize the enduring nature of God's promises to His people. Sarid, as a geographical location, marks a starting point in the delineation of the tribal boundaries, emphasizing the importance of divine order and inheritance in the Promised Land. It serves as a reminder that God’s plans for His people are precise and intentional.

it turned eastward toward the sunrise
The phrase "turned eastward toward the sunrise" is rich with symbolic meaning. In Hebrew culture, the east, or "קֶדֶם" (qedem), often represents beginnings and new opportunities, as the sunrise marks the start of a new day. This directional movement signifies a transition or a new phase in the journey of the Israelites, reflecting the hope and renewal that comes with following God's guidance.

to the border of Chisloth-tabor
"Chisloth-tabor" can be translated as "flanks of Tabor," with "Chisloth" possibly derived from the Hebrew "כִּסְלוֹת" (kisloth), meaning "confidence" or "hope." Mount Tabor is a significant landmark in Israel, often associated with strength and majesty. The mention of this border highlights the strategic and spiritual significance of the land allotted to the tribes, underscoring God's provision and the fulfillment of His promises.

went on to Daberath
"Daberath" is thought to mean "pasture" or "word" in Hebrew, from the root "דָּבָר" (dabar), which means "to speak" or "word." This location may symbolize the sustenance and communication of God's word to His people. As the boundary continues to Daberath, it reflects the importance of living in accordance with divine instruction and the nourishment that comes from God's truth.

and up to Japhia
The name "Japhia" is derived from the Hebrew "יָפִיעַ" (yaphia), meaning "shining" or "splendid." This ascent to Japhia can be seen as a metaphor for spiritual elevation and enlightenment. It suggests that as the Israelites move within their God-given inheritance, they are called to rise to a higher standard of living, reflecting the glory and splendor of their Creator.

(12) And goeth up to Japhia.--Better, and had gone up to Japhia, which lies west of the two places previously named. Daberath is the south-east boundary. El-Mesh-hed lies north of this.

Verse 12. - Chisloth-Tabor. The loins or flanks of Tabor. Tabor (the name signifies either quarry - see note on Shebarim, probably a kindred word, Joshua 7:5 - or navel), is one of the most conspicuous mountains of Palestine. Like Soracte, above the Campagna of Rome, "the cone-shaped figure of Tabor can be seen on all sides," though it rises only 1,750 feet (French) above the level of the sea, 800 above the plain at its northeastern base, and 600 above Nazareth on the north-west (Ritter, 2:311). Chisloth-Tabor was on the northwest side of the base of Tabor. Tabor has been supposed to have been the scene of the Transfiguration. But Ritter points out that from the time of Antiochus the Great, 200 years before Christ, to the destruction of Jerusalem, the summit of Tabor was a fortress. And he notices that while Jerome and Cyril mention this tradition, Eusebius, who lived 100 years earlier, knows nothing of it.
