Which border turned to the west?

1.

Bi'ur ha'Gra: The [southern] border turned [from the Yarden] to the west, like the verse says that it touched Zevulun from the south.

2.

Malbim: In the north, the border turned to the west.

2)

Why does it say Aznos Tavor? Above (12), it says Kislos Tavor!

1.

Rashi (12): Kislos Tavor is on the incline, in the middle, like flanks of an animal. Aznos Tavor is close to the peak.

2.

Radak: They are different names for the same place, for a reason that they knew.

3)

Where is Chukokah?

1.

Bi'ur ha'Gra: It is the other side of Aznos Tavor [on Naftoli's southern border].

2.

Malbim: It is at the north of Eretz Yisrael. Naftoli's border turned north after going west from the northern end (source) of the Yarden.

4)

Where did Naftoli border the eastern Shevatim?

1.

Metzudas David, Malbim: Naftoli met Yehudah at the end of the Yarden (where it enters Yam ha'Melach). It also met the other Shevatim whose borders go [almost] to the Yarden (Yosef, Yisachar and Binyamin); the Chidush is that it met Yehudah, which was in the south.

5)

Where did Naftoli border Asher and Zevulun?

1.

Metzudas David: The south of Zevulun was the north of Naftoli. The west of Naftoli was the east of Asher.

2.

Bi'ur ha'Gra: Its southern border encountered Zevulun; its western border encountered Asher.

3.

Malbim: The western border of Naftoli bordered a strip that extended from Asher, east of Zevulun, to the north of Eretz Yisrael. The strip did not reach the end of Eretz Yisrael, for a strip from Naftoli was north of it, and the south of the strip was the northern border of Zevulun.
