All the towns which Joshua enumerated are at least one hundred. Rebbi Simeon ben Laqish said, he enumerated those walled. Rebbi Yose bar Ḥanina said, he enumerated those close to the border. The verse supports Rebbi Yose bar Ḥanina: their border was Meḥelef ⁵⁶Jos. 19:33. The verse establishes that the localities mentioned in Jos. are boundary markers, in this case of Naftali. All localities mentioned in the verse will be identified later in the paragraph. [etc. And Qaḥtat, and Nahallal, and Shimron, and Yedeala, and Bet Leḥem⁵⁷Jos. 19:15, description of the border between Zevulun and Naftali.

Clearly, the interest is on Tiberias and its wider neighborhood..] Meḥelef, Ḥelef. Me’elon, Aylin. Baṣa`ananim, Basin of Qedesh. And Adami, Damin. Hanneqeb, Ṣaidata. And Yabneel, Kefar Yama. Up to Laqqum, Loqim⁵⁸Most of the places are not identified. If the root of בצעננים is בצעה “swamp”, the translation would have to be “swamp near Qedesh Naftali.” Damin seems to be the village of Dameh near Tiberias. Hanneqeb seems to be Arabic נקב “hole, breach”, a good description for the mountain pass controlling the road from Tiberias to the Mediterranean. Kefar Yama may be the place Yamnia mentioned by Josephus (Bell. II.xx.6) in Galilee.. And Qaṭtat, Qeṭonit. And Nahallal, Mahlul. And Shimron, Simonieh. And Yedeala, Ḥirieh. And Bet Leḥem, Bet Leḥem Sarieh⁵⁹The places mentioned in Jos. 19:15, in the center of Lower Galilee; in Talmudic times the region of Sepphoris. Except for the Galilean Bet Lehem the places are unidentified..
