and Eltolad, and Chesil, and Hormah,
KJV
And Eltolad, and Chesil, and Hormah,
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
And Eltolad,.... The first of these cities is called Tolad, 1Ch 4:29, and Chesil seems to be the same with Bethul and Bethuel, Jos 19:4 1Ch 4:30; and here the Greek version calls it Baithel: and Hormah is the same with Zephath, Jdg 1:17. All these three cities were given to the tribe of Simeon, Jos 19:4.

Follow this verse’s cross-references two steps out. Each card is a verse this one points to, and beneath it the verses that one points to in turn. Where several different paths arrive at the same place, that place is listed first: the text keeps returning to it. Every stop shows its own words, and every stop is a page.
