Towns in the Bible were typically fortified or had some form of defense, though they were less prominent than cities. They served as centers of local trade, agriculture, and social life, playing a crucial role in the daily lives of the Israelites and other ancient peoples.<br><br><b>Old Testament Context</b><br><br>In the Old Testament, towns were often associated with specific tribes or families. For example, the town of Bethlehem is famously known as the birthplace of King David and later, Jesus Christ. Bethlehem is first mentioned in <a href="/genesis/35-19.htm">Genesis 35:19</a>, where it is referred to as Ephrath: "So Rachel died and was buried on the way to Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem)." Towns like Bethlehem were integral to the tribal identity and heritage of the Israelites.<br><br>Towns also served as administrative centers. Judges and leaders would often reside in towns, making them places of governance and judgment. In <a href="/1_samuel/8-12.htm">1 Samuel 8:12</a>, Samuel warns the Israelites about the implications of having a king, stating, "He will appoint some of your sons as commanders of thousands and commanders of fifties, and others to plow his ground and reap his harvest, and still others to make his weapons of war and equipment for his chariots." This passage highlights the role of towns in supporting the infrastructure of governance and military organization.<br><br><b>New Testament Context</b><br><br>In the New Testament, towns continue to play a significant role, particularly in the ministry of Jesus. Many of Jesus' teachings and miracles occurred in towns, which were more accessible and relatable to the common people than the larger cities. For instance, in <a href="/matthew/9-35.htm">Matthew 9:35</a>, it is recorded, "Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness."<br><br>The towns of Galilee, such as Capernaum, were central to Jesus' ministry. Capernaum is frequently mentioned as a place where Jesus performed miracles and taught the people. In <a href="/matthew/11-23.htm">Matthew 11:23</a>, Jesus speaks of Capernaum, saying, "And you, Capernaum, will you be lifted up to the heavens? No, you will go down to Hades. For if the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Sodom, it would have remained to this day."<br><br><b>Cultural and Social Aspects</b><br><br>Towns in biblical times were often characterized by their close-knit communities. The social structure was typically centered around family units and local governance. The marketplace was a vital part of town life, serving as a hub for trade and social interaction. <a href="/proverbs/31-23.htm">Proverbs 31:23</a> mentions the husband of the virtuous woman, stating, "Her husband is known at the city gate, where he sits among the elders of the land." This reflects the town's role as a place of social and economic exchange.<br><br><b>Spiritual Significance</b><br><br>Towns also held spiritual significance. They were often the sites of synagogues and places of worship, where the community gathered for religious observance. The synagogue in Nazareth, where Jesus read from the scroll of Isaiah, is an example of the town's role in spiritual life (<a href="/luke/4-16.htm">Luke 4:16-21</a>).<br><br>In summary, towns in the Bible were more than just physical locations; they were centers of community life, governance, and spiritual activity. They provided the backdrop for many significant biblical events and teachings, reflecting the everyday lives of the people in biblical history.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.

See <a href="../h/havvoth-jair.htm">HAVVOTH-JAIR</a>.<br><br>(3) Bath, literally, "daughter," is sometimes found in the plural between the name of a city and chatserim, "villages," as in <a href="/joshua/15-45.htm">Joshua 15:45</a> margin, "Ekron, with its daughters and its villages." "Towns" is evidently the appropriate translation, and, even without chatserim, bath is rendered "town" (the Revised Version (British and American) <a href="/numbers/21-25.htm">Numbers 21:25</a>, etc.). The same use of "daughter" occurs also in the Greek of 1 Maccabees 5:65 (thugater), the King James Version "town," the Revised Version (British and American) "village," margin "daughter."<br><br>(4) the King James Version and the English Revised Version gloss qir, "wall" in <a href="/joshua/2-15.htm">Joshua 2:15</a> by rendering it "town wall"; the American Standard Revised Version omits.<br><br>(5) The Greek term komopoleis (<a href="/mark/1-38.htm">Mark 1:38</a>), being a combination of the words for "village" and "city," is a clear attempt to describe something between the two, and is well translated "town." (6) the King James Version uses "town" (<a href="/matthew/10-11.htm">Matthew 10:11</a> etc.) and "village" (<a href="/matthew/9-35.htm">Matthew 9:35</a>, etc.) quite indifferently for kome; the Revised Version (British and American) has "village" throughout. For similar changes of the King James Version "town" compare 2 Maccabees 8:6 (chora); 11:05; 12:21 (chorion, the Revised Version (British and American) "place").<br><br>See <a href="../c/city.htm">CITY</a>; <a href="../v/village.htm">VILLAGE</a>.<br><br>W. M. Christie<p><span class="encheading">TOWN CLERK</span><p>klurk, klark (grammateus): The word "clerk," "writer," "town clerk," "scribe," is found in this meaning only in <a href="/acts/19-35.htm">Acts 19:35</a>, "when the townclerk had quieted the multitude." Cremer defines the word as signifying a "public servant among the Greeks and the reader of the legal and state-papers" (Lexicon of the New Testament). There was considerable difference between the authority of these "clerks" in the cities of Asia Minor and of Greece. Among the Greeks the grammateis were usually slaves, or at least persons belonging to the lower classes of society, and their office was a nominal, almost a mechanical, one. In Asia, on the contrary, they were officers of considerable consequence, as the passage quoted indicates (Thucidydes vii.19, "the scribe of the city") and the grammateus is not infrequently mentioned in the inscriptions and on the coins of Ephesus (e.g. British Museum Inscriptions, III, 2,482, 528). They had the supervision of the city archives, all official decrees were drawn up by them, and it was their prerogative to read such decrees to the assembled citizens. Their social position was thus one of eminence, and a Greek scribe would have been much amazed at the deference shown to his colleagues in Asia and at the power they wielded in the administration of affairs.
