And then the coast turneth to Ramah, and to the strong city Tyre; and the coast turneth to Hosah; and the outgoings thereof are at the sea from the coast to Achzib: (Joshua 19:29)
Literally, “district of Achzib.” The sentence means that the boundary just described ends at the sea in the district or region that belonged to Achzib.
Achzib has been identified with the modern city of ez-Zîb, 8 3/4 mi. (14 km.) above Acre.
The strong city Tyre.
Literally, “the city of the fortified rock.” The famous city on the rock was not built until about 200 years later. Therefore the reference must be either to mainland Tyre or some other fortified rock in Asher.
Ramah.
The site of Ramah is unknown, but has been thought by some to be the present Rameh, 25 mi. (40.3 km.) southeast by south from Tyre.
