Quick answer

The list adds Eltolad, Bethul, and Hormah. Simeon's cities continue to be recorded.

Overview

These towns, including Hormah which recalls Israel's earlier wilderness battles, are added to Simeon's inheritance. The naming of such places ties the tribe's land to the broader account of God's dealings with Israel. The thorough listing underscores the reality and completeness of the inheritance God granted to every tribe.

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 19:4 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.
