and the border turned westward to Aznoth-tabor, and went out from there to Hukkok; and it reached to Zebulun on the south, and reached to Asher on the west, and to Judah at the Jordan toward the sunrise.

The 'Judah' Puzzle

The verse states Naphtali's border reached 'Judah at the Jordan,' which seems impossible since the tribe of Judah was far south. Commentators explain this isn't an error. One view is that it refers to a region across the Jordan settled by descendants of Judah. Another view suggests it refers to a city named Judah, not the entire tribe. This detail shows the historical depth of the text.
