Religious and Cultural Concepts in This Chapter

Place Names

This chapter refers to various places in land of Israel (i.e. Gilgal, Bethel, Beersheba). Normally these places have good connotations, but here they are referred to negatively. This is most likely because these cities became known for their idol worship. (See: translate-names)

City gate

The “city gate” is mentioned several times. This was a place where people would go with legal and financial issues. (See: figs-explicit)
