Commentary

4 notes on this verse
And Remeth,.... Remeth seems to be the same with Jarmuth, Jos 21:29; and with Ramoth, 1Ch 6:73, and Engannim seems to be the same with Anem in 1Ch 6:73, there were several of this name, which seem to have been places full of gardens, and well watered; for the word signifies a fountain of gardens.

This site's exposition

The fourth lot came out

on Joshua 19:17-23

Issachar is given by its towns rather than a traced border, because the tribe sits enclosed between portions already described. Jezreel at verse 18 becomes the ground of Naboth's vineyard at 1 Kings 21:1. Shunem is where the woman who kept a room for Elisha lived at 2 Kings 4:8.

This site's exposition

Remeth, En-gannim

Barnes renders En-gannim fountain of gardens and identifies it with Jenin, where the road from Jerusalem enters the plain of Jezreel. It returns among the Levite towns at 21:29, beside Jarmuth, which Gill takes as Remeth. Many places in these verses remain unknown, Barnes adds.

The record, by era

The Nineteenth Century1 voice

En-gannim - i. e. “fountain of gardens;” also a Levitical city Jos 21:29, and called Ahem 1Ch 6:73, the modern “Jenin,” a place on the main road from Jerusalem to Nazareth, just where it enters the plain of Jezreel. Many of the places enumerated in these verses are not known. Tabor Jos 19:22 is perhaps not the famous mountain, but the town on it of the same name 1Ch 6:77, given up to the Levites. Beth-shemesh (perhaps “Bessum”) is not the same as Beth-shemesh of Judah Jos 15:10, nor of Naphtali Jos 19:38.
