The children of Israel give an inheritance to Joshua Their territory included Helkath Helkath is mentioned as part of the inheritance of the tribe of Asher. This allocation of land is part of the division of Canaan among the twelve tribes of Israel, as commanded by God to Joshua. Helkath's exact location is uncertain today, but it is believed to have been in the northern region of Canaan. The division of land signifies the fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham regarding the land his descendants would inherit (Genesis 12:7). Hali Beten Achshaph Persons / Places / Events 1. HelkathA town allotted to the tribe of Asher. Its name means "portion" or "inheritance," reflecting the division of the Promised Land among the tribes of Israel. 2. Hali Another town within the territory of Asher. The specific historical significance of Hali is less documented, but it contributes to the understanding of the geographical boundaries of Asher's inheritance. 3. Beten A town in Asher's territory. The name Beten can be associated with "belly" or "womb," possibly indicating a fertile area. 4. Achshaph A city that was part of the inheritance of Asher. It was previously mentioned in Joshua 11:1 as a city whose king joined a coalition against Israel. Teaching Points Understanding InheritanceThe division of land among the tribes of Israel is a reminder of God's faithfulness in fulfilling His promises. Just as the Israelites received their inheritance, believers today have an inheritance in Christ (Ephesians 1:11). Significance of Place Each town and city mentioned in the Bible has historical and spiritual significance. Studying these places helps us appreciate the depth of God's Word and His plans for His people. God's Sovereignty in Allocation The specific allocation of land to each tribe demonstrates God's sovereignty and wisdom. He knows what is best for each of His people, and His plans are perfect. Community and Belonging The detailed description of territories emphasizes the importance of community and belonging. Asher's inheritance was not just land but a place for the tribe to thrive and fulfill God's purposes. Spiritual Warfare and Victory The mention of Achshaph, a city once opposed to Israel, reminds us of the spiritual battles we face. Just as Israel overcame their enemies, we are called to stand firm in faith and claim victory through Christ.(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). . . .
