The district, of which it was the capital, was afterwards within the allotted territory of Asher, but was assigned to Manasseh (Jos 17:11<\/span>), but the Israelites could never obtain possession of this strong city (Jos 17:12<\/span>; Jdg 1:27<\/span>), though they made the inhabitants pay tribute in the days of Solomon (1Ki 4:11<\/span>). What is here rendered “ the borders of Dor<\/em>,” is rendered “ the coast of Dor<\/em> ” Jos 12:23<\/span>, and the “ region of Dor<\/em> ” 1Ki 4:11<\/span>. The original word Napheth<\/em>, thus variously translated, means an “elevated tract,” and hence a coast as being raised above the water. Dor stood on a rocky promontory, behind which lies a beautiful and fertile plain, extending southward to Sharon, and northward to Carmel. This plain is the “coast” or “region” of Dor. Dor was one of the Phnician seats of commerce, deriving its importance from (i) its well-sheltered haven, (ii) the abundance amidst its rocks of the murex<\/em>, a shell-fish yielding the famous purple dye. It was still a flourishing town in the Roman age, and afterwards became the seat of a bishop, who was, in the days of the Crusades, a suffragan in the province of Csarea. The modern Tantra<\/em> or Dandora<\/em> is a corruption of the ancient name. It is now represented by a little fishing village, consisting of some thirty houses, while the site of the old city lies to the north of it, covered for a space of half a mile with massive ruins.<\/p>\n On the north of the mountains – <\/B>Rather, northward in the mountains. The reference is to the mountain district of Galilee, called Jos 20:7<\/span> mount Naphtali.<\/P> On the plains south of Chinneroth – <\/B>literally, in the Arabah south of Chinneroth. The words describe the northern portion of the Arabah (see Deu 1:1<\/span>), or depressed tract, which extends along the Jordan from the lake of Gennesaret southward.<\/P> Chinneroth – <\/B>Identical with the later Gennesaret (see Num 34:10<\/span>). The lake derived its name from a town on its banks (compare Jos 19:35<\/span>).<\/P> In the valley – <\/B>The northern part of the same flat district mentioned in Jos 9:1<\/span>. This valley is the level plain adjacent to the sea and extending from Carmel southward.<\/P> Borders of Dor – <\/B>Render highlands of Dor. Dor was a royal city, and gave its name to the district around it (compare Jos 12:23<\/span>; 1Ki 4:11<\/span>). Its importance was derived from its having an excellent and well-sheltered haven, and from the abundance among its rocks of the shellfish which furnished the famous Tyrian purple. The site of Dor is identified by travelers as the modern Tantura or Dandora – a name which is itself only a corruption of the ancient Dor. It lies near the foot of Carmel some six miles north of Caesarea.<\/P> <\/p>\n Verse 2<\/span>.

According to Jerom x, it was nine miles from Caesarea of Palestine, as you go to Tyre; and in his time a desert. It was a haven in the Mediterranean sea, and lies three leagues from the castle of the “pilgrims” near Mount Carmel; and, as a traveller says, is now so decayed, that there is nothing more extant than a large and high tower, which the inhabitants still call Dorteite y.<\/p>\n t Antiqu. l. 5. c. 1. sect. 18. u Nat.
