It is identified as one of the cities conquered by Joshua during the Israelite campaign to take possession of the Promised Land. The name "En-hazor" translates to "spring of Hazor," indicating its proximity to a water source, which was a significant feature for settlements in ancient times.<br><br><b>Biblical References:</b><br><br>1. <b><a href="/joshua/19-36.htm">Joshua 19:36</a></b> · En-hazor is listed among the towns in the territory allotted to the tribe of Naphtali. The verse states: "Adamah, Ramah, Hazor, Kedesh, Edrei, En-hazor." This inclusion highlights its importance as part of the inheritance given to Naphtali, one of the twelve tribes of Israel.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/joshua/11.htm">Joshua 11:1-10</a></b> · While En-hazor itself is not directly mentioned in this passage, the broader context of Hazor is significant. Hazor was a major Canaanite city and a formidable opponent during Joshua's conquests. The king of Hazor, Jabin, led a coalition of northern kings against Israel. Joshua's victory over this coalition, including the destruction of Hazor, marked a pivotal moment in the conquest of Canaan.<br><br><b>Historical and Geographical Context:</b><br><br>En-hazor's exact location is not definitively known today, but it is generally associated with the region of Upper Galilee. The mention of a spring suggests it was situated near a reliable water source, which would have been crucial for sustaining a settlement. The association with Hazor, a significant city-state in Canaan, implies that En-hazor may have been a satellite or dependent village of the larger city.<br><br><b>Archaeological Insights:</b><br><br>While En-hazor itself has not been conclusively identified in archaeological excavations, the site of Hazor has been extensively studied. Hazor was a major urban center in the second millennium BC, and its remains provide valuable insights into the Canaanite culture and the historical context of the biblical narrative. The destruction layers at Hazor align with the biblical account of Joshua's conquest, supporting the historical reliability of the scriptural record.<br><br><b>Theological Significance:</b><br><br>The mention of En-hazor in the allotment of land to Naphtali underscores the fulfillment of God's promise to the patriarchs to give their descendants the land of Canaan. Each city and town listed in these allotments represents a tangible manifestation of God's faithfulness to Israel. The conquest and subsequent settlement of these areas illustrate the transition from a nomadic existence to a settled life in the land flowing with milk and honey.<br><br>In summary, En-hazor, though briefly mentioned, is part of the broader narrative of Israel's inheritance and settlement in the Promised Land. Its connection to Hazor and its inclusion in the tribal allotments reflect its role in the unfolding account of God's covenant with His people.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">En-Hazor</span><p>the grass of the well<a name="isb" id="isb"></a><div class="vheading2">International Standard Bible Encyclopedia</div><span class="encheading">EN-HAZOR</span><p>en-ha'-zor (`en chatsor; pege Asor):<br><br>A city in the territory of Naphtali mentioned along with Kedesh, Edrei and Iron (<a href="/joshua/19-37.htm">Joshua 19:37</a>).
