45 Ekron, with her daughter-towns and her unwalled places; 46 From Ekron to the sea, all the towns by the side of Ashdod, with their unwalled places. 47 Ashdod, with her daughter-towns and her unwalled places; Gaza, with her daughter-towns and her unwalled places, to the stream of Egypt, with the Great Sea as a limit.

Commentary on Joshua 15:20-63
