Kedesh
Kedesh, meaning "holy" or "sacred" in Hebrew, was a city of refuge located in the territory of Naphtali. It served as a sanctuary for those who accidentally committed manslaughter, providing them protection from the avenger of blood until a fair trial could be conducted. This reflects God's provision for justice and mercy within the community, emphasizing the importance of both accountability and compassion. Archaeologically, Kedesh has been identified with Tell Qadesh, where excavations have revealed significant remains from the biblical period, underscoring its historical significance.

Edrei
Edrei, meaning "mighty" or "strong," was another city within the inheritance of the tribe of Naphtali. The name itself suggests a place of strength and fortification, which is fitting given its strategic location. Historically, Edrei is also known as one of the royal cities of Og, king of Bashan, conquered by the Israelites under Moses' leadership (Numbers 21:33-35). This conquest symbolizes God's power and faithfulness in delivering His people and granting them victory over formidable foes. The mention of Edrei in Joshua 19:37 serves as a reminder of God's past deliverance and the ongoing fulfillment of His promises to Israel.

En-hazor
En-hazor, meaning "spring of Hazor," indicates a location with a water source, which was vital for sustaining life in ancient times. The presence of a spring would have made En-hazor an attractive settlement site, providing necessary resources for agriculture and daily living. Hazor itself was a significant Canaanite city, known for its size and influence, and was later destroyed by Joshua as part of the conquest of Canaan (Joshua 11:10-11). The inclusion of En-hazor in the list of cities allotted to Naphtali highlights the transformation of the land from Canaanite control to Israelite inheritance, symbolizing the establishment of God's people in the Promised Land. This transition from Canaanite to Israelite control reflects the overarching biblical narrative of redemption and the establishment of God's kingdom on earth.

Verse 37. - Kedesh (see Joshua 12:22). It was the residence of Barak (Judges 4:6). Known to Josephus (Bell. Jud., 4.2.3.) as Cydoessa, to Eusebius and Jerome as Cydissus; it is now Kedes (see Robinson, 'Later Biblical Researches'). Edrei. Not the Edrei of Og, which was beyond Jordan.
