This tribe received the fertile region along the Mediterranean coast west and north of Zebulun. It is a little uncertain whether the author, in the description of Asher’s inheritance, proceeds to enumerate the border or merely mentions various leading cities, inasmuch as most of the towns mentioned are unknown. However, it would seem that the boundary begins from a point approximately in the center of the territory on the coast and then goes south to the border, turns east to Zebulun, then through a series of towns and valleys on the eastern sector until it comes north to Sidon; then it turns south again, terminating where it began.
