Me-jarkon, and Rakkon, including the territory across from Joppa.
Me-jarkon and Rakkon, with the area facing Joppa town.
Me-jarkon town and Rakkon town. Their territory also included land that was near Joppa town.
Me-jarkon: The Hebrew words that the BSB translates as Me-jarkon can also be translated as “the waters of Yarkon.” The Yarkon River flows into the Mediterranean Sea north of Joppa town. Some scholars consider Me-jarkon to refer to the river, not to a town. However, it is recommended that you translate it as a town name as in the majority of English versions.
and Rakkon: The location of this place is uncertain.
including the territory across from Joppa: The phrase territory across from Joppa indicates that the clan of Dan received land that was near the town of Joppa as part of their tribal inheritance.
Here are some other ways to translate this part of the verse:
Me-jarkon and Rakkon, with the area facing Joppa (NIV)
