Berean Study Bible

from the Shihor
The term "Shihor" is often understood to refer to a body of water, likely the easternmost branch of the Nile River or a stream in Egypt. In Hebrew, "Shihor" can mean "dark" or "turbid," suggesting a river with dark, muddy waters. This geographical marker indicates the southern boundary of the land that was yet to be conquered by the Israelites. Historically, this area was significant as it marked the transition from Egyptian influence to the land promised to Israel. The mention of Shihor underscores the vastness of the land God intended for His people, extending from Egypt to the heart of Canaan.

east of Egypt
This phrase situates the Shihor geographically in relation to Egypt, emphasizing the proximity of the Promised Land to this ancient civilization. Egypt, a symbol of bondage and oppression in Israel's history, is now a reference point for the land of freedom and promise. The Israelites' journey from Egypt to Canaan is a powerful narrative of deliverance and divine faithfulness. The phrase reminds readers of the transition from slavery to the inheritance of a land flowing with milk and honey, a testament to God's covenant with Abraham.

to the border of Ekron
Ekron was one of the five major cities of the Philistines, located in the southwestern part of Canaan. The Philistines were a significant adversarial force against Israel, often representing opposition to God's people. The mention of Ekron as a boundary highlights the extent of the land yet to be possessed and the challenges that lay ahead. Historically, Ekron was a fortified city, and its inclusion in the land to be conquered signifies the need for reliance on God's strength to overcome formidable foes.

northward
This directional term indicates the extent of the land from south to north, encompassing a broad and diverse territory. The northward expansion signifies growth and the fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham that his descendants would inherit a vast land. It also symbolizes spiritual growth and the journey of faith, as the Israelites were called to trust in God's provision and guidance as they moved into new territories.

is counted as Canaanite
The phrase "is counted as Canaanite" refers to the inhabitants of the land who were not Israelites. The Canaanites were known for their idolatrous practices and were often in conflict with the Israelites. This designation serves as a reminder of the cultural and spiritual challenges the Israelites would face in taking possession of the land. It underscores the need for the Israelites to remain faithful to God and to avoid the temptations of the surrounding pagan cultures.

the five rulers of the Philistines
The Philistines were organized into a pentapolis, or a group of five city-states, each ruled by a lord or ruler. These cities were Gaza, Ashdod, Ashkelon, Gath, and Ekron. The mention of the "five rulers" highlights the political and military organization of the Philistines, making them a formidable enemy. This structure also reflects the complexity of the task before the Israelites, as they were not merely conquering land but also dismantling established powers.

Gaza, Ashdod, Ashkelon, Gath, and Ekron
These cities were the centers of Philistine power and influence. Each city had its own ruler, and together they formed a coalition that often opposed Israel. The listing of these cities serves as a reminder of the specific challenges and battles that lay ahead for the Israelites. Spiritually, these cities can represent strongholds of sin and opposition in the believer's life, which must be overcome through faith and reliance on God's power.

the Avvites
The Avvites were a people who lived in the region before the Philistines. Their mention here indicates the layered history of the land and the various peoples who inhabited it. The Avvites, like the Canaanites, were part of the broader narrative of conquest and possession. Their presence serves as a reminder of the ongoing spiritual battle and the need for perseverance in the faith journey. Historically, the displacement of the Avvites by the Philistines also reflects the shifting dynamics of power and control in the ancient Near East.

Pulpit Commentary

Verse 3. - From Sihor. This word, which has the article in Hebrew, is literally the black river. This has been thought to be the Nile, known to both Greeks and Latins by that title. The Greeks called it μέλας. So Virgil says of it, "AEgyptum nigra foecundat arena." The Vulgate has "a fluvio turbido qui irrigat AEgyptum." The LXX. translates by ἀοίκητος. The phrase which is "before" (עַל־פְנֵי) Egypt seems to exclude the idea of the Nile, since the Nile flowed through the centre of Egypt, and it is impossible to make עַל־פְנֵ equivalent to בְּקֶרֶב. As Drusins remarks, moreover, the Nile is always called either יְאֹר or "the river of Egypt." The interpreation which has found most favour of late, therefore, refers this expression to a small river that flows into the sea at the extreme southern border of Palestine. This river was known as the "river of Egypt" (Genesis 15:18), and is now called the Wady-el-Arisch (cf. also Joshua 15:4, 47, as well as Numbers 34:5; 1 Kings 8:65; Isaiah 27:12, where the word is nahal, or winter torrent, a word inapplicable to the Nile). For Sihor, or Shichor, see Isaiah 23:3; Jeremiah 2:18, and especially 1 Chronicles 13:5, which seems decisive against the Nile. Which is counted to the Canaanite. These words are connected by the Masorites with what follows: The five lords of the Philistines are reckoned to the Canaanite. The five lords of the Philistines. The Philistines (Deuteronomy 2:23. Cf. Genesis 10:14, and 1 Chronicles 1:12) are supposed to be of Egyptian origin. Ewald (also Hitzig, 'Geschichte des Volkes Israel,' p. 20) believes Caphtor to be Crete, and supposes the Cherethites and Pelethites who formed David's body-guard (2 Samuel 15:18) to be Cretans and Philistines (see Ezekiel 25:16). But this opinion is disputed by many commentators of note, and is far from probable in itself. They were David's most trusted and faithful troops, and it seems hardly probable that so truly national a monarch would have assigned the post of honour around his person to the hereditary enemies of his race. Ritter, however, believes the Cherethites and Pelethites to be Philistines, and appeals to 1 Samuel 30:14, and still more forcibly to Zephaniah 2:4, 5. It should be remembered, too, that Ittai was a Gittite, or native of Gath (see 2 Samuel 15:21). The term here used, translated lords (satraps, LXX.), is peculiar to the Philistines. It is to be found also in Judges 3:3; 1 Samuel 5:8, etc. In 1 Kings 7:30 the word means an axle, or perhaps the outside plating of the wheel, and in the kindred languages it signifies a wheel. The expression is remarkable in connection with the phrase "circles of the Philistines." The Eshkalalonites. The inhabitants of Ashkelon, as the Gittites are of Gath. Also the Avites. Literally, "and the Avites." There is no "also" in the original, though the Avites or Avim are supposed (see Deuteronomy 2:23, and note on Geshuri in the last verse)to have been aborigines preceding the Canaanites, and dispossessed by the Philistines. Keil, however, disputes this view, and holds that we have no evidence that any but a Canaanitish people dwelt in southwestern Palestine. This Canaanitish tribe, he thinks, was driven out by the Philistines. Some few of the Avites, or rather Avvites, continued to dwell among their conquerors. But the coincidence between Deuteronomy 2:22, 23, and 1 Samuel 27:8, makes strongly for Ewald's view above. And Keil and Delitzsch, in their later joint work, incline to it. See Introduction III. The word Avvim, like Havoth, or Havvoth (see ver. 30), is supposed to mean villages, or inhabited enclosures.
