Ebron
This name is not widely recognized in other parts of the Bible, and its exact location remains uncertain. The name "Ebron" may derive from a root meaning "alliance" or "association," suggesting a place of gathering or unity. In the context of the tribal allotments, it signifies the importance of each location, even those less known, in the divine plan for Israel's inheritance.

Rehob
The name "Rehob" means "broad" or "spacious," indicating a place of openness or abundance. Historically, Rehob is associated with several locations in the Bible, often linked to the northern boundaries of Israel. This reflects God's promise of a land flowing with abundance and the expansive nature of His blessings to His people.

Hammon
The name "Hammon" is derived from a root meaning "warm" or "hot," possibly indicating a place with thermal springs or a warm climate. This could symbolize the warmth of God's provision and care for His people, ensuring that their needs are met in the land He has given them.

Kanah
Meaning "reed" or "place of reeds," Kanah suggests a location near water, which is vital for sustenance and life. Water is a recurring symbol of life and purification in Scripture, reminding the Israelites of God's provision and the spiritual cleansing He offers.

as far as Greater Sidon
"Greater Sidon" refers to the prominent Phoenician city of Sidon, known for its wealth and influence in the ancient world. The phrase "as far as" indicates the extent of the territory allotted to the tribe, reaching to significant and influential regions. This highlights the fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham regarding the vastness of the land his descendants would inherit. Sidon's mention also serves as a reminder of the cultural and spiritual challenges Israel would face, living among powerful neighboring nations, and the need for faithfulness to God amidst external influences.

Verse 28. - Hebron. Rather, Ebron. It is not the same word as the Hebron in Judah, but is spelt with Ain instead of Hheth. In Joshua 21:30, 1 Chronicles 6:59, Abdon is the name of the city assigned to the Levites in Asher. Twenty MSS., says Keil, have the same reading here. But the LXX. has Ἐβρων here and Αβδων in Joshua 21:30. The Hebrew ד and ר are so much alike that there is no doubt that the mistake has arisen earlier than the time when that translation was made. It is true that the lists of Levitical cities in Joshua 21. and 1 Chronicles 6. do not entirely correspond. But the resemblance here between the names is too striking to allow of the supposition that two different cities are meant. Great Zidon. This city, as well as Tyro, remained unsubdued, although assigned by Joshua to Asher. The boundary of Asher appears to have been traced first towards the west, then eastward, from a middle point on the southern border (see note on ver. 11), then to have been carried northward from the same point (the left hand usually means the north; see note on Teman, Joshua 15:1), on the east side till it reached Cabul. Then the northern border is traced westward to Sidon. Then the border turned southward along the sea, which is not mentioned, because it would seem to be sufficiently defined by the mention of Ramah and Tyre. Between Hosah and Achzib there would seem to have been a greater paucity of cities, and therefore the sea is mentioned.
