"and Beth-arabah, and Zemaraim, and Beth-el," — Joshua 18:22 (ASV)
And Betharabah
Of the first of these, (See Gill on Joshua 15:6);
and Zemaraim ;
one of the sons of Canaan was named Zemira, (Genesis 10:18) ; by whom this city Zemaraim might be built, or however have its name given it, in memory of him; there was a mountain of this name in the tribe of Ephraim, near to which this city might be, (2 Chronicles 13:4) .
and Bethel; of the last of these, (See Gill on Joshua 7:2).
