Joshua 21:25

The Pulpit Commentary on Joshua 21:25

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

Tanach. The same as the Taanach before mentioned, . In 1혻Chronicles 6:70 (56 Hebrews text) we have Eth-aner, an obvious blunder, as the Hebrew shows, Resh having been read for Hheth, and Aleph having been inserted to form the Eth of the accusative ease.

This reading existed, however, as far back as the LXX. version. Gath-rimmon. There is a blunder also here, where Gath-rimmon has crept in by the mistake of a copyist from the last verse. The true reading is preserved in 1혻Chronicles 6:70, where we find Ibleam (see ), or as it is there written Bileam; no doubt by mistake; the Hebrew letters (omitting the Jod, which has dropped out), being those that compose the familiar name of Balaam the prophet.

The LXX. reads Jebath here.
