It is identified as one of the cities within the territory allotted to the tribe of Naphtali. The name "Enhazor" is derived from Hebrew, meaning "fountain of Hazor," indicating its proximity to a water source or spring associated with the larger city of Hazor.<br><br><b>Biblical Reference:</b><br><br>Enhazor is mentioned in <a href="/joshua/19-37.htm">Joshua 19:37</a> as part of the inheritance of the Naphtalites. The verse in the Berean Standard Bible reads: "Kedesh, Edrei, Enhazor." This brief mention places Enhazor among a list of fortified cities given to the tribe of Naphtali during the division of the Promised Land among the twelve tribes of Israel.<br><br><b>Geographical Context:</b><br><br>The exact location of Enhazor is not definitively known today, but it is understood to be in the northern region of ancient Israel, within the boundaries of the tribal lands of Naphtali. Its association with Hazor, a significant Canaanite city-state, suggests that it was in close proximity to this influential city. Hazor itself was a major center of power and culture in the ancient Near East, and its mention alongside Enhazor highlights the strategic importance of the area.<br><br><b>Historical and Cultural Significance:</b><br><br>Enhazor's inclusion in the biblical narrative underscores the comprehensive nature of the land distribution among the tribes of Israel. Each city and town, including Enhazor, played a role in establishing the identity and territorial claims of the tribes. The mention of Enhazor, though brief, reflects the meticulous record-keeping and the importance of land inheritance in Israelite society.<br><br>The connection to Hazor also suggests that Enhazor may have been influenced by the cultural and economic activities of its larger neighbor. Hazor was known for its extensive trade networks and military strength, and as such, Enhazor might have benefited from these associations.<br><br><b>Theological Implications:</b><br><br>From a theological perspective, the allocation of cities like Enhazor to the tribes of Israel is seen as a fulfillment of God's promises to the patriarchs, particularly Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The distribution of the land is a testament to God's faithfulness and the realization of His covenant with the people of Israel. Each city, including Enhazor, represents a tangible manifestation of divine providence and blessing.<br><br>Enhazor, though not prominent in biblical narratives, contributes to the broader understanding of Israel's settlement in the Promised Land. It serves as a reminder of the intricate and divinely orchestrated plan for the nation of Israel, as recorded in the Scriptures.<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Enhazor</span><p>(<i>fount of Hazor</i>), one of the fenced cities in the inheritance of Naphtali, distinct from Hazor.
