יהושע, פרק י״ט, פסוק ח׳

The territory allotted to the tribe of Simeon is defined by a blend of strong urban centers and sprawling rural landscapes. The inheritance consists of more than just major cities; it includes a network of small, open, and unfortified settlements that surround the primary, fortified towns [ביאור שטיינזלץ].

The reach of these rural communities stretches outward to a boundary area known as Baalath. Within this vicinity, the collection of small, open settlements is collectively grouped under the regional name Beer Ramath of the South. Because of this collective designation, later historical records, such as the Book of Chronicles, simply mark the tribal border up to the area of Baalah [מלבי״ם].

This regional name is not merely a title but a physical description of the landscape. It reflects the topography of the territory, identifying it as a distinctly high and elevated area situated in the southern part of the land [מצודת דוד].
