It is identified as a location on the northern border of the tribe of Dan.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Near East, territorial boundaries were crucial for defining the inheritance and identity of the Israelite tribes. The tribe of Dan, one of the twelve tribes of Israel, was allocated land in the coastal region of Canaan. Raqqon, as part of Dan's boundary, would have been significant in marking the extent of their territory. The precise location of Raqqon is not definitively known today, but it is believed to have been situated near the Mediterranean coast.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/7556.htm">raqaq</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a city in Dan near Joppa<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Rakkon (1).<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">רַקּוֺן</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, of a location</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>in Dan</b></font>, <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">הָר</font> <a href="/interlinear/joshua/19-46.htm">Joshua 19:46</a>, probably doublet of <font class="hebrew2">הַיַּרְקוֺן</font>, omitted by <font class="hebrew2">ᵐ5</font> Benn Steuern, compare Di. <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>Rakkon <p>From <a href="/hebrew/7534.htm">raq</a>;
