And Me-jarkon, and Rakkon, with the border before Japho.
Joshua 19:46 belongs to Joshua 1 to 22, the account of leading the children of Israel through the Jordan and dividing the land for them, setting them in a fair way to conquer all their foes and find the promised rest with the Captain of Jehovah's hosts present. The chapter illustrates that lot means the part, division, or fate that falls to one by divine determination, and that to lot means to allot, assign, distribute, sort, catalogue, and portion, as seen in the land divided by lot. The verse names Me-jarkon and Rakkon among the towns in the territory assigned to the tribe of Dan, with the border reaching to before Japho, toward Japho.
Japho is Joppa, a border town of the tribe of Dan in the description of the land allotted to Dan. Its mention of Japho shows that Joppa was already known at the time of the conquest under Joshua.
