Joshua 15:33
These were in the foothills:
BSB
ASV
In the lowland, Eshtaol, and Zorah, and Ashnah,
KJV
And in the valley, Eshtaol, and Zoreah, and Ashnah,
Eshtaol, and Zoreah - Here Samson was buried, it being the burial-place of his fathers; see Jdg 16:31. These places though first given to Judah, afterwards fell to the lot of Dan, Jos 19:41.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
