Joshua 15:40
“Cabbon, Lahmam, Chitlish,”
What does Joshua 15:40 mean?
These three towns were part of the inheritance given to the tribe of Judah when the Israelites divided up the promised land after conquering it. They're located in the Shephelah region, the rolling foothills between the coastal plains and the Judean highlands, and each one served as a settlement for the people of Judah. While we don't know much detail about these specific places today, their inclusion in Joshua's list reminds us that God's promises extended to ordinary towns and ordinary people, not just to famous cities or dramatic events.
