Joshua 19:36 Summary
This verse lists three cities, Adamah, Ramah, and Hazor, which were part of the inheritance given to the tribe of Naphtali. These cities were likely important for the tribe's economy, defense, and culture. Just as God provided for the Israelites and gave them a place to call their own, He also provides for us and gives us a sense of belonging and purpose, as seen in Matthew 6:25-34 and Philippians 4:19. By trusting in God's power and protection, we can, like the Israelites, find rest and security in Him, as seen in Psalm 37:1-7 and Hebrews 13:5-6.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the significance of the cities listed in Joshua 19:36?
The cities listed in Joshua 19:36, including Adamah, Ramah, and Hazor, were part of the inheritance given to the tribe of Naphtali, as described in Joshua 19:32-39. These cities were likely important for the tribe's economy, defense, and culture, as seen in Deuteronomy 19:1-10, where God instructed the Israelites to divide the land into inheritance portions.
How did the Israelites acquire these cities?
The Israelites acquired these cities as part of their conquest of Canaan, as recorded in the book of Joshua. God had promised to give the Israelites the land, and He went before them to drive out the inhabitants, as seen in Joshua 1:1-9 and Exodus 23:20-33.
What can we learn from the fact that these cities were fortified?
The fact that these cities were fortified, as mentioned in Joshua 19:35, suggests that the Israelites recognized the importance of defense and security. This can teach us about the importance of being prepared and trusting in God's protection, as seen in Psalm 91:1-16 and Proverbs 21:31.
How does this verse relate to the overall story of Joshua?
This verse is part of the larger narrative of Joshua, which tells the story of the Israelites' conquest of Canaan and their inheritance of the Promised Land. As seen in Joshua 1:1-9, God had given Joshua the task of leading the Israelites into the land, and this verse is a small part of that larger story, which is rooted in God's covenant with Abraham in Genesis 12:1-3 and Genesis 15:1-21.
Reflection Questions
- What does the listing of these cities reveal about God's attention to detail and care for His people?
- How can I apply the principles of inheritance and stewardship, as seen in this verse, to my own life and responsibilities?
- What can I learn from the Israelites' experience of trusting in God's power and protection as they settled in the Promised Land?
- In what ways can I, like the Israelites, recognize and respond to God's goodness and provision in my own life, as seen in Psalm 23:1-6 and Psalm 100:1-5?
Gill's Exposition on Joshua 19:36
And Adamah,.... Adamah is different from Adami, Joshua 19:33; and may seem to confirm the notion of some, that Nekeb there is an epithet of it, and so distinguishes it from Adamah here; and Ramah; of

36. Adamah] is unknown, as also Ramah, which must not be mistaken for the Ramah of Jos 19:29. Hazor] See above, Joshua 11:1; Joshua 11:6-10. Dr Robinson would identify it with Tel Khuraibeh, Captain Wilson and Anderson with Tel Hara. “Here were found the remains of an ancient fortress, a city with its walls and towers still to be traced, and on the eastern slope, the usual concomitants of old ruins, broken glass and pottery.” Here, they both agree, was the long-lost Hazor, which “lay over” the lake Hûleh. “The position,” says Captain Wilson, “is one of great strength and overhangs the lake. Every argument which Robinson adduces in favour of Tel Khuraibeh applies with much greater force to these ruins.” Dr Porter, however, refuses to accept either theory, arguing that as the strength of Jabin lay in chariots, “we must look for Hazor on the lower slopes of the mountains, so as to be easily accessible for chariots.” Our Work in Palestine, p. 177.
Whedon's Commentary on Joshua 19:36
36. Ramah must be kept distinct from Ramah in Asher. It is identified by Robinson with a large village still called Rameh, which is situated about six miles southwest of Safed on the declivity of a
