From Kadesh-barnea unto Gaza - Num 13:26 This limits Joshua’s conquests on the west, as the other line, “all the country of Goshen unto Gibeon,” does on the east. Goshen Jos 15:51 has not been identified. It was in the southern part of the territory of Judah, and is, of course, quite distinct from the Goshen of Gen 46:28.
This site's exposition
the country of the hills
on Joshua 10:40-42
The summary divides the south into four zones, the hills, the south, the vale and the springs, and Joshua 11:16 draws the same map. All that breathed answers to Deuteronomy 20:16, save alive nothing that breatheth, so the writer measures the campaign against the command rather than against the gain. The country of Goshen at verse 41 is a district in Judah, listed among its towns at Joshua 15:51, and not the Goshen of Egypt. At one time in verse 42 means one campaign, and Joshua 11:18 sets beside it that he made war a long time.
