SEV Biblia, Chapter 15:62
y Nibsán, y la Ciudad de la Sal, y Engadi; seis ciudades con sus aldeas.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Joshua 15:62
Verse 62. The city of Salt] Or of Melach. This city was somewhere in the vicinity of the lake Asphaltites, the waters of which are the saltest perhaps in the world. The whole country abounds with salt: see the note on Gen. xix. 25. Some suppose that it is the same as Zoar, the place to which Lot escaped after the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. En-gedi] The well of the kid: it was situated between Jericho and the lake of Sodom or Dead Sea.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 62. And Nibshan , etc.] Of Nibshan no mention is made elsewhere; and the city of Salt some take to be Zoar, so called because near the salt sea, or where Lot’s wife was turned into a pillar of salt, ( Genesis 19:22,26); but rather this city might be so called, because salt was made here. and Engedi , or Engaddi, is a well known place, near the salt sea; (see Gill on “ Ezekiel 47:10”). Jerom says f376 , there was a very large village of Jews in his time called Engaddi, near the dead sea, from whence comes the opobalsam; the same place is called Hazazontamar, from the palm trees which grew there, ( 2 Chronicles 20:2). It was famous for vineyards also, ( Song of Solomon 1:14); it lay, according to Josephus f377 , three hundred furlongs or about forty miles from Jerusalem: six cities with their villages ; the sum total agrees with the particulars.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 20-63 - Here is a list of the cities of Judah. But we do not here fin Bethlehem, afterwards the city of David, and ennobled by the birth of our Lord Jesus in it. That city, which, at the best, was but littl among the thousands of Judah, Mic 5:2, except that it was thu honoured, was now so little as not to be accounted one of the cities __________________________________________________________________
