Joshua 10:40

Of the hills — i.e., the mountains of Judah and Ephraim.

The south — i.e., the Nêgeb.

The vale — i.e., Shephêlah, the plain of the coast, but not apparently including the Philistine territory, which was not conquered by Joshua.

The springs — or Áshdoth. Some render it the slopes or declivities, the country between the high hills and the low plain of the coast.
