It appears in the genealogical and territorial listings associated with the descendants of Noah's sons after the flood. Specifically, Lashah is referenced in <a href="/genesis/10-19.htm">Genesis 10:19</a>, which outlines the borders of the Canaanite territory.<br><br><b>Scriptural Citation:</b> <br><a href="/genesis/10-19.htm">Genesis 10:19</a> states: "And the borders of Canaan extended from Sidon toward Gerar as far as Gaza, and then toward Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim, as far as Lashah."<br><br><b>Historical and Geographical Context:</b> <br>Lashah is identified as a location on the southern boundary of the Canaanite territory. The precise location of Lashah is not definitively known today, and it is not mentioned elsewhere in the Bible outside of this genealogical context. The passage in <a href="/genesis/10-19.htm">Genesis 10:19</a> situates Lashah in a list of cities and regions that were part of the ancient Near Eastern landscape, which includes well-known cities such as Sodom and Gomorrah.<br><br><b>Theological Significance:</b> <br>The mention of Lashah in the Table of Nations (Genesis 10) serves to delineate the extent of Canaanite influence and territory. This passage is part of a broader narrative that describes the post-diluvian world and the dispersion of peoples and nations. The inclusion of Lashah, along with other cities, underscores the historical and geographical breadth of the Canaanite domain, which would later become significant in the context of Israel's history and God's covenantal promises to Abraham and his descendants.<br><br><b>Cultural and Archaeological Insights:</b> <br>While Lashah itself has not been conclusively identified through archaeological findings, the cities and regions listed alongside it, such as Sodom and Gomorrah, have been subjects of extensive archaeological and scholarly interest. These cities are often associated with the Dead Sea region, and their mention in <a href="/genesis/10-19.htm">Genesis 10:19</a> provides insight into the ancient world known to the biblical authors.<br><br><b>Relevance to Biblical Narrative:</b> <br>The reference to Lashah contributes to the broader understanding of the ancient world as depicted in the Bible. It highlights the interconnectedness of various peoples and places in the biblical narrative and sets the stage for the unfolding account of God's interaction with humanity, particularly through the lineage of Shem, Ham, and Japheth. The delineation of Canaanite borders, including Lashah, foreshadows the later biblical accounts of Israel's conquest and settlement in the Promised Land.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Lashah</span><p>to call; to anoint<a name="thes" id="thes"></a><div class="vheading2">Thesaurus</div><a href="/topical/l/lashah.htm"><span class="l"><b>Lashah</b> (1 Occurrence)</span></a><br><b>...</b> Multi-Version Concordance <b>Lashah</b> (1 Occurrence).
