Joshua 15:57
Kain, Gibeah, and Timnah—ten cities, along with their villages.
BSB
ASV
Kain, Gibeah, and Timnah; ten cities with their villages.
KJV
Cain, Gibeah, and Timnah; ten cities with their villages:
Cain,.... Cain, or Hakain, "that Cain", we nowhere else read of; whether the name was given it by the old Canaanites, in memory of Cain, the son of Adam, is not certain: Gibeah; there were other places that went by the name of Gibeah; there was a Gibeah in Benjamin, Jdg 20:4, and another in the same tribe called Gibeah of Saul, 1Sa 11:4, to distinguish it from that; but this was in the tribe of Judah. Masius conjectures it is the same with that in 1Sa 23:19 which was near Ziph; and not amiss.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
