	That Asher inhabited the coasts of the [[Mediterranean Sea\|Mediterranean]] can be discerned in the A.V. at Judges 5:17: “Asher continued on the seashore, and abode in his breaches”, where “breaches” is the Hebrew [[(Hebrew) Miphrats\|miphrats]] (#4464) and may be translated “havens” or “inlets”, the word meaning “a break (in the shore), i.e. a haven” (Strong’s). In the [[Egyptian (Mizraim)\|Egyptian]] records of the 18th dynasty, which predates the Israelite conquest of Canaan, Tyre is called “T’aru the haven”, and it is said of the island off the coast “water is carried to it in barks, it is richer in fish than in sands” (Encyclopedia Britannica, 9th edition, p 817).

			It is only well after the deportations of the Israelites that translators of the Scriptures for the Septuagint had in diverse places associated Phoenicians with “Canaanites”, yet the Israelites were long removed from the land. The inhabitants of the island city of Tyre, however, '''never were deported by the Assyrians or the Babylonians''', although the mainland portion of Tyre was destroyed by [[Nebuchadnezzar]] (Ezek. 26). After the beginning of the [[Persian period]], the Tyrians were subject to [[Persia (Elam)\|Persia]] and had spread themselves back to the mainland. The island city was destroyed for good by [[Alexander the Great]] circa 330 B.C. Yet it is evident that many of the Israelites did remain in the area and maintained their identity for quite some time, as we have [[Anna the Prophetess\|Anna the prophetess]], of the Tribe of Asher, in [[Jerusalem]] during the birth of Christ (Luke 2:36).

	The Septuagint (LXX) says at Joshua 19:28-29, of Asher’s inheritance: “And Elbon, and Raah, and Ememaon, and Canthan to great Sidon. And the borders shall turn back to Rama, and to the fountain of Masphassat, and the Tyrians ...”. But a little further on, describing [[Naphtali (tribe)\|Naphtali]]’s inheritance at 19:35: “And the walled cities of the Tyrians, Tyre, and Omathadaketh, and Kenereth ...”, quite different than the version found in the A.V. Although not within Naphtali’s territory, did Naphtali inherit Tyre, on the coast of the territory of Asher? Or did this refer to the island off the coast? Such can not be told with the data I have presently [this text is from an essay entitled 'Galilee of the Nations?' by William Finck].
