Joshua 13:3-5
Evangelical Heritage Version
3 from the Shihor, which is east of Egypt, to the border of Ekron on the north. (This is reckoned as belonging to the Canaanites, but includes the five serens[a] of the Philistines, the serens of Gaza, Ashdod, Ashkelon, Gath, and Ekron, as well as the Avvites 4 on the south.)
All the land of the Canaanites, and Me’arah,[b] which belongs to the Sidonians, as far as Aphek, up to the border of the Amorites.
5 The land of the Gebalites,[c] and all of Lebanon toward the rising of the sun, from Baal Gad below Mount Hermon up to the entry to Hamath,
Footnotes
- Joshua 13:3 The word seren is a special word used only of the rulers of the five Philistine city states. It seems to be a Philistine term. It may be related to the Greek word tyrant, an autocratic ruler of a city state. Seren is apparently a title like pharaoh or czar, which is applied to one specific class of rulers. Since this is a unique title, the EHV uses the transliteration seren rather than the traditional rendering lord.
- Joshua 13:4 Or perhaps from Arah. The meaning and location of this place name are uncertain.
- Joshua 13:5 The city of Gebal is also called Byblos. This Greek version of the name is the more common name of the city in English.
