Cross-References
In the beginning God created the sky and the earth.
The earth was empty and had no form. Darkness covered the ocean, and God's Spirit was moving over the water.
God named the light "day" and the darkness "night." Evening passed, and morning came. This was the first day.
God named the air "sky." Evening passed, and morning came. This was the second day.
Evening passed, and morning came. This was the third day.
Evening passed, and morning came. This was the fourth day.
Evening passed, and morning came. This was the fifth day.
By the seventh day God finished the work he had been doing, so he rested from all his work.
The reason is that in six days the Lord made everything—the sky, the earth, the sea, and everything in them. On the seventh day he rested. So the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.
while the morning stars sang together and all the angels shouted with joy?
Gill's Notes on the Bible
Neither did Asher drive out the inhabitants of Accho,.... The same with Ptolemais, :-; so called from the first Ptolemy king of Egypt, who enlarged it; but it has since recovered its ancient name pretty nearly, and is now called Acca or Acra.
"On its north and east sides (Mr. Maundrell says w) it is encompassed with a spacious and fertile plain; on the west it is washed by the Mediterranean sea; and on the south by a large bay, extending from the city as far as Mount Carmel:''
nor the inhabitants of Zidon; a well known city in Phoenicia, belonging to this tribe, see Joshua 19:28;
nor of Ahlab, nor of Achzib, nor Helbah, nor Aphik, nor of Rehob; two of these places, Ahlab and Helbah, are not mentioned among the cities of the tribe of Asher, Joshua 19:24; unless Helbah is the same with Helkath, Judges 1:25; of the rest, Achzib,
Judges 1:25- :, Aphik, and Rehob,
Judges 1:25- :.
