Joshua 19:33

Presbyterian
SCRIPTURE

"And their border was from Heleph, from the oak in Zaanannim, and Adaminekeb, and Jabneel, unto Lakkum; and the goings out thereof were at the Jordan;" — Joshua 19:33 (ASV)

From Allon to Zaanannim - Render “from the oak forest at Zaanannim.” From (Judges 4:11) it appears that this oak or oak-forest was near Kedesh.

Adami, Nekeb - Render “Adami of the Pass.” Possibly the ancient “Deir el Ahmar” (“red cloister”), which derives its name from the color of the soil in the neighborhood, as perhaps Adami did. The spot lies about 8 miles northwest of Baalbek.
