Quick answer

The list continues with Hazar Shual, Balah, and Ezem. More of Simeon's cities are named.

Overview

These additional towns fill out Simeon's allotment in the southern Negev region. The continued enumeration documents the tribe's inheritance in concrete detail. Though Simeon's portion lay within Judah's, the careful record affirms that this tribe too received a real and defined place among God's people, a token of His faithful provision.

Christ at the center

Joshua — the same name as Jesus, 'the LORD saves' — leads God's people into their inheritance, a shadow of the greater Joshua who brings us into the true rest and the promised land that remains.

How Joshua 19:3 points to him is part of the one story that runs through all Scripture — meet Jesus at the heart of the web, or follow a trail that traces him from Genesis to Revelation.
