Quick answer
Asher's border begins with cities such as Helkath, Hali, Beten, and Achshaph. These named places mark the start of Asher's coastal-northern inheritance.
Overview
The list opens Asher's allotment in the fertile region along the northwestern coast and Galilee's western edge. Though many of these towns are otherwise little known, their inclusion shows that God's gift was concrete and complete. The faithfulness seen in such details assures believers that none of God's promises fall to the ground.
