"and Eltolad, and Chesil, and Hormah," — Joshua 15:30 (ASV)
And Eltolad
The first of these cities is called Tolad, (1 Chronicles 4:29) ;
and Chesil
seems to be the same with Bethul and Bethuel, (Joshua 19:4) (1 Chronicles 4:30) ; and here the Greek version calls it Baithel;
and Hormah
is the same with Zephath, (Judges 1:17) . All these three cities were given to the tribe of Simeon, (Joshua 19:4) .
