Charles Ellicott Commentary Joshua 19:10

"And the third lot came up for the children of Zebulun according to their families; and the border of their inheritance was unto Sarid;" — Joshua 19:10 (ASV)

THE BORDER OF ZEBULUN.

The third lot ... for the children of Zebulun ... Sarid (Syriac, Asdod; Septuagint, Seddouk) should be apparently spelled with consonants S, D, D. It is identified as Tell Shadûd (sheet 8). From this point, a line is drawn westward (past M’alûl, sheet 5) to Jokneam (Tell Keimûn, same sheet), a place at the south-east end of the Carmel ridge. This is the south boundary. We may note that it does not touch the sea, but leaves room for the territory of Asher to interpose . Returning to Sarid, the boundary is next (Joshua 19:12) drawn eastward to Chisloth-tabor (Iksâl, sheet 6), Daberath (Dabûrieh, sheet 6), Japhia (Yâfa, sheet 5), Gittah-hepher (El-Mesh-hed, sheet 6).
