Joshua 18:21 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

Now the cities of the tribe of the children of Benjamin according to their families were Jericho, and Beth-hoglah, and the valley of Keziz,

The cities of the tribe of ... Benjamin ... were Jericho (see the note at Joshua 11:1)

... Beth-hoglah (see the note at Joshua 15:6)

... the valley of Keziz, [Septuagint, Amekasis] - situated toward the eastern boundary of the territory. The name is derived from a root verb signifying to cut off; and hence, Mr. Grove remarks suggestively, 'Is it possible that this place can have any connection with the general circumcision which took place at Gilgal, in the neighbourhood?'
