Rashi Shemos 32:2, 34:11.


How does that line up with the date Carthage (Kart Chadasht --
Newburg?) was founded by the Phoenicians? (Descendents of Kenaanim who
were living on what would be Zevulun or so -- they build Tzidon and Tzur.)
Does it fit any of the more discussed chronologies (or your own) to
place the building of Carthage contemporary to Yehoshua?

:-)BBii!
