Overview
Me-Jarkon (meaning "waters of Jarkon") was a town assigned to the tribe of Dan during Joshua's division of the Promised Land. Located in the coastal region of Canaan, it marked part of Dan's territorial boundary and represented God's faithful allocation of land to His people according to His sovereign plan.
Key Scriptures
"The seventh lot came out for the tribe of Dan, according to its clans. The territory of their inheritance included: Zorah, Eshtaol, Ir-shemesh, Shaalabbin, Aijalon, Ithlah, Elon, Timnah, Ekron, Eltekeh, Gibbethon, Baalath, Jehud, Bene-berak, Gath-rimmon, Me-jarkon, and Rakkon, with the territory before Joppa." (Joshua 19:40-46, ESV)
Application
Me-Jarkon reminds us that God's promises of provision are specific and trustworthy—He allocated exact territories to each tribe, demonstrating His detailed care for His people and the importance of claiming and possessing what He has given us spiritually.
