(21) Er-Rameh (sheet 11), Jenin (sheet 8), Kefr- adan (sheet 8).

Verse 21. - En-gannim. Supposed to be the same as the "garden house" (the Bethgan of the LXX.) mentioned in 2 Kings 9:27) where Ahaziah, king of Judah, met with the wound of which he afterwards died at Megiddo. It was one of the Levitical cities of Issachar (Joshua 21:29). Robinson, Vandevelde, and others identify it with the modern Jenin, the Ginaea of Josephus. The meaning of the name is "fountain of the gardens" and the present Jenin is situated, so Robinson tells us, in the midst of gardens.

Joshua 19:21 may read like a simple catalog—Remeth, En-gannim, En-haddah, Beth-pazzez—but each name testifies that God fulfills promises in detail, plants His people beside life-giving resources, notices the seemingly insignificant, and provides real homes that hint at the everlasting one. The verse invites believers to trust the Lord’s precision, drink deeply of His provision, rest in His mindful care, and rejoice in both present and future dwellings prepared by His hand.
