Joshua 19:25
23 This was the inheritance of the clans of the tribe of Issachar, including these cities and their villages.
24 The fifth lot came out for the clans of the tribe of Asher:
Their territory included Helkath, Hali, Beten, Achshaph,
26 Allammelech, Amad, and Mishal. On the west the border touched Carmel and Shihor-libnath,
27 then turned eastward toward Beth-dagon, touched Zebulun and the Valley of Iphtah-el, and went north to Beth-emek and Neiel, passing Cabul on the left.
Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
