Joshua 19:40-41

[stevencarrwork]

Joshua 19:40-41 The seventh lot came out for the tribe of Dan, clan by clan. The territory of their inheritance included:
Zorah, Eshtaol, Ir Shemesh,

Does this mean that Zorah and Eshtaol were included in the territory of Dan?

Judges 13:2
And there was a certain man of Zorah, of the family of the Danites, whose name was Manoah; and his wife was barren, and bare not.

Judges 13:25
And the Spirit of the LORD began to move him at times in the camp of Dan between Zorah and Eshtaol.

Judges 18:2
And the children of Dan sent of their family five men from their coasts, men of valour, from Zorah, and from Eshtaol, to spy out the land, and to search it; and they said unto them, Go, search the land: who when they came to mount Ephraim, to the house of Micah, they lodged there.

Judges 18:11
And there went from thence of the family of the Danites, out of Zorah and out of Eshtaol, six hundred men appointed with weapons of war.


I would say that that's a plain answer to your question, Steven. Of course, any competent researcher would have found these verses in addition to the one in Joshua....

And yes, I know where you're trying to go with this particular "loaded" (as you think) question: they're also mentioned in Joshua as being in the territory allocated to the Tribe of Judah. Newsflash: There are cities named Dublin, Moscow, and Paris in the state of Texas, thus "proving" (according to your argument) that there are no such places as Dublin Ireland, Moscow Russia, nor Paris France. Your gun is loaded with blanks. For that matter I've also been in Dallas Scotland, and in both London England and London Ontario. And before you complain that those pairs of cities are in different countries, there's both a Jackson Mississippi and Jackson Wyoming; Portland Oregon and Portland Maine; and six or eight different Springfields in the US alone. There have been numerous occasions in Texas (not to speak of any other state) where a small community growing large enough to petition for a US Post Office, was required first to change the town's name because there was already a town in Texas with the same name, and the USPS won't deal with that.
