The name "Hazar" often refers to a settlement or village, indicating it was likely a smaller community. The suffix "gaddah" could suggest a specific characteristic or historical figure associated with the location. This town's inclusion in Judah's inheritance highlights the detailed division of the Promised Land among the tribes, fulfilling God's promise to Abraham regarding the land (<a href="/genesis/15-18.htm">Genesis 15:18-21</a>). The precise location of Hazar-gaddah is not definitively known today, but it serves as a testament to the historical and geographical complexity of the region during the conquest of Canaan.<p><b>Heshmon</b><br>Heshmon is another town within the boundaries of Judah. Its mention in the biblical text underscores the comprehensive nature of the land distribution. The name Heshmon may derive from a root meaning "rich" or "fertile," suggesting the area's agricultural potential. This aligns with the biblical theme of the Promised Land as a place of abundance and blessing (<a href="/deuteronomy/8-7.htm">Deuteronomy 8:7-9</a>). The specific location of Heshmon remains uncertain, but its inclusion in the list of towns reflects the meticulous record-keeping and the importance of land inheritance in Israelite society.<p><b>Beth-pelet</b><br>Beth-pelet, meaning "house of escape" or "house of deliverance," is another town in Judah's territory. The name itself may carry symbolic significance, possibly indicating a place of refuge or safety. This could connect to the broader biblical theme of God as a refuge and deliverer for His people (<a href="/psalms/46.htm">Psalm 46:1</a>). The town's location is not precisely identified today, but its mention in the allotment to Judah emphasizes the fulfillment of God's covenant promises. The detailed listing of towns like Beth-pelet illustrates the historical reality of the Israelite settlement in Canaan and the divine orchestration of their inheritance.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/h/hazar-gaddah.htm">Hazar-gaddah</a></b><br>This is one of the towns listed in the territory allotted to the tribe of Judah.
