However, the concept of Levitical cities and their functions can be related to Greek terms for priesthood and religious service.<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>Chammon is a proper noun used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to a specific location. It is associated with a Levitical city in the territory of Naphtali. The name likely carries the connotation of warmth or heat, possibly referring to the climate or a notable feature of the area.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the context of ancient Israel, cities like Chammon were often designated as Levitical cities, meaning they were given to the Levites, the priestly tribe of Israel, as part of their inheritance. The Levites were responsible for religious duties and maintaining the spiritual life of the nation. Chammon, being in the territory of Naphtali, would have been part of the northern region of Israel, an area known for its varied geography and climate.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/2552.htm">chamam</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>"hot (spring)," two cities, one in Asher and one in Naphtali<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Hammon (2).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">חַמּוֺן</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, of a location</b></font> (<em>hot spring</em> ?) — <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>1</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>town in Asher</b></font> <a href="/interlinear/joshua/19-28.htm">Joshua 19:28</a>. <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>2</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>in Naphtali</b></font> <a href="/interlinear/1_chronicles/6-61.htm">1 Chronicles 6:61</a> (perhaps = 1. <font class="hebrew2">חַמַּת</font>, <font class="hebrew2">חַמַּת דּאֹר</font>, see Be and Di <a href="/interlinear/joshua/19-35.htm">Joshua 19:35</a>). <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft2.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>Hammon <p>From <a href="/hebrew/2552.htm">chamam</a>;
