Their territory included
This phrase introduces the specific allotment of land given to the tribe of Asher. The Hebrew word for "territory" is "nachalah," which signifies an inheritance or possession. In the context of the Promised Land, it underscores the fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The division of the land among the tribes of Israel is a testament to God's faithfulness and the realization of His covenant. It serves as a reminder that God provides for His people, granting them a place to dwell and prosper.

Helkath
Helkath is one of the cities within the territory of Asher. The name "Helkath" means "portion" or "field" in Hebrew, which may symbolize the portion of land that God has specifically set aside for His people. Archaeologically, while the exact location of Helkath is uncertain, it is believed to be in the northern region of Israel, reflecting the geographical diversity and richness of the land allotted to Asher. This city, like others in the list, represents the tangible blessings and responsibilities that come with God's provision.

Hali
Hali is another city within Asher's inheritance. The name "Hali" is thought to mean "necklace" or "ornament," suggesting beauty and value. This could metaphorically represent the beauty of the land and the preciousness of God's gifts to His people. Historically, the cities of Asher were known for their fertile lands and access to the sea, which provided economic opportunities and sustenance. Hali, therefore, is a symbol of the abundance and grace bestowed upon the tribe.

Beten
Beten, meaning "belly" or "womb" in Hebrew, may symbolize fertility and life. This city within Asher's territory could represent the nurturing aspect of the land, providing sustenance and growth for the tribe. The imagery of a womb also evokes the idea of new beginnings and the birth of a nation in the Promised Land. Beten, like the other cities, is a testament to the life-giving power of God's promises and the hope for future generations.

Achshaph
Achshaph is another city in the territory of Asher. The name "Achshaph" means "sorcery" or "enchantment," which might reflect the spiritual challenges faced by the Israelites as they settled in the land. Historically, Canaan was a land filled with diverse cultures and religious practices, some of which were contrary to the worship of Yahweh. The inclusion of Achshaph in Asher's territory serves as a reminder of the need for spiritual vigilance and the call to remain faithful to God amidst external influences. It highlights the ongoing spiritual battle and the importance of upholding God's commandments in every aspect of life.

(25) Their border.--The border of Asher on the west is the Mediterranean. On the east of Asher lies the tribe of Naphtali, but most of the towns named in these verses lie well within the territory of Asher. The northern end of the territory of this tribe lies beyond the limits of the Ordnance Survey, for it reaches "unto great Zidon" (Joshua 19:28). The southern boundary is said to be Carmel (Joshua 19:26), but no town is identified south of Cabul (Kab-l, south-east of Akkah, sheet 5).

The towns identified are as follows:--

(25) El B'aneh, EL-Yasif or Kefr Yasif (sheet 3).

(26) Khurbet-el-Am-d, and M'aisleh (? Kh.-Muslih) (sheet 3).

Shihor-libnath (river of glass), the river Belus (sheet 5).

(27) Beth-dagon (Tell-' Da-k), near the mouth of the Belus.

Neiel.--(Y'Ar-n, sheet 5).

Cabul.--(Kab-l, south-east of Akkah, sheet 5). . . .

Verse 25. - Helkath. A Levitical city (Joshua 21:31; 1 Chronicles 6:75, where it is called Hukok).
