16 and the border hath come down unto the extremity of the hill which 'is' on the front of the valley of the son of Hinnom, which 'is' in the valley of the Rephaim northward, and hath gone down the valley of Hinnom unto the side of Jebusi southward, and gone down 'to' En-Rogel,
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Joshua 18:16
Commentary on Joshua 18:11-28
(Read Joshua 18:11-28)
The boundaries of each portion were distinctly drawn, and the inheritance of each tribe settled. All contests and selfish claims were prevented by the wise appointment of God, who allotted the hill and the valley, the corn and pasture, the brooks and rivers, the towns and cities. Is the lot of any servant of Christ cast in affliction and sorrow? It is the Lord; let him do what seemeth him good. Are we in prosperity and peace? It is from above. Be humbled when you compare the gift with your own unworthiness. Forget not Him that gave the good, and always be ready to resign it at his command.
