Joshua 10:41 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Ver. 41. And all the country of Goshen— There was a city of Goshen in the tribe of Judah, towards the south, among the mountains, like Hebron; (see ch. Joshua 15:51.) and this city evidently gave its name to the whole district. It was a place full of excellent pastures, well watered, and like the land of Goshen in Egypt. See Calmet, and Genesis 45:10. Pelican is of opinion, that both of them went by the name of Goshen, from the Hebrew word geshem, which signifies a plentiful shower. Even unto Gibeon, i.e. says Bishop Patrick, towards the north.
