The name "Hazar-shual" means "village of the fox," indicating it may have been a place known for its wildlife or a specific geographical feature. It is located in the Negev region, south of Judah, which was a semi-arid area. This settlement reflects the restoration of the land and the re-establishment of communities that were previously desolate. The mention of Hazar-shual in the context of Nehemiah's time highlights the importance of repopulating and rebuilding the land of Israel, fulfilling the promises of restoration found in the prophetic books such as Isaiah and Jeremiah.<p><b>in Beersheba and its villages;</b><br>Beersheba is a significant biblical city, often considered the southernmost boundary of ancient Israel, as seen in the phrase "from Dan to Beersheba." It was a central location in the patriarchal narratives, associated with figures like Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Abraham made a covenant with Abimelech here, and Isaac built an altar and called on the name of the Lord. The reference to Beersheba and its villages indicates the re-establishment of this historically and spiritually significant area. The villages surrounding Beersheba would have been smaller settlements that supported the main city, contributing to the agricultural and economic stability of the region. The repopulation of Beersheba signifies the fulfillment of God's promise to restore the land and its people, as well as the continuation of the covenantal heritage of the patriarchs.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/h/hazar-shual.htm">Hazar-shual</a></b><br>A town in the southern part of Judah, mentioned in the context of the resettlement of the people after the Babylonian exile.
