It is associated with the ancient tribal territories of Israel, specifically within the allotments given to the tribes during the conquest and settlement of the Promised Land. The name Kisseth is not widely mentioned in the biblical text, making it a subject of interest for biblical scholars and historians seeking to understand the geographical and cultural landscape of ancient Israel.<br><br><b>Biblical References:</b> <br>The primary reference to Kisseth is found in the Old Testament, within the book of Joshua, which details the division of the land among the tribes of Israel. In <a href="/joshua/19-20.htm">Joshua 19:20</a>, Kisseth is listed as one of the towns in the territory allotted to the tribe of Issachar: "And Rabbith, and Kishion, and Ebez, and Remeth, and En-gannim, and En-haddah, and Beth-pazzez." <br><br><b>Geographical Context:</b> <br>Kisseth is situated within the region assigned to the tribe of Issachar. The territory of Issachar was located in the northern part of the central highlands of Canaan, an area known for its fertile land and strategic location. The exact location of Kisseth is not definitively known today, as archaeological evidence has yet to provide a clear identification. However, it is generally believed to have been in the vicinity of other towns mentioned alongside it in the biblical text.<br><br><b>Historical and Cultural Significance:</b> <br>The town of Kisseth, like many others listed in the tribal allotments, played a role in the settlement patterns of the Israelites as they established themselves in the Promised Land. The mention of Kisseth, though brief, contributes to the broader understanding of the distribution of the tribes and their respective territories. It reflects the fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham regarding the inheritance of the land by his descendants.<br><br><b>Tribal Allotment and Inheritance:</b> <br>The division of the land among the tribes of Israel was a significant event in the history of the nation. It marked the transition from a nomadic lifestyle to a settled existence, with each tribe receiving a portion of the land as their inheritance. The allotment to Issachar, including Kisseth, was part of this divinely orchestrated distribution, as described in <a href="/bsb/joshua/19.htm">Joshua 19</a>.<br><br><b>Theological Implications:</b> <br>The allocation of towns like Kisseth to the tribe of Issachar underscores the faithfulness of God in fulfilling His covenant promises. It also highlights the importance of land in the biblical narrative, serving as a tangible sign of God's provision and blessing. The land was not only a physical inheritance but also a spiritual one, symbolizing the relationship between God and His people.<br><br><b>Conclusion:</b> <br>While Kisseth is not a prominent location in the biblical narrative, its inclusion in the tribal allotments of Issachar provides insight into the historical and theological dimensions of the Israelite settlement in Canaan. The mention of Kisseth, along with other towns, contributes to the rich tapestry of biblical history and the unfolding of God's plan for His chosen people.<a name="lib" id="lib"></a><div class="vheading2">Library</div><p><a href="/library/spurgeon/spurgeons_sermons_volume_8_1863/the_friend_of_sinners.htm"><span class="l">The Friend of Sinners</span></a> <br><b>...</b> but I never saw him so resplendent in his fatherhood as when he runneth out to meet<br> the prodigal, throweth his arms about his neck, and <b>kisseth</b> him, crying <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">/.../spurgeon/spurgeons sermons volume 8 1863/the friend of sinners.htm</font><p><a href="/library/julian/revelations_of_divine_love/chapter_lxi_by_the_assay.htm"><span class="l">"By the Assay of this Falling we Shall have an High Marvellous <b>...</b></span></a> <br><b>...</b> Dame! and weep awhile; and then she leapeth forth laughing, with outspread<br> arms, and embraceth and <b>kisseth</b> him, and wipeth his eyes. <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">/.../julian/revelations of divine love/chapter lxi by the assay.htm</font><p><a href="/library/bunyan/the_riches_of_bunyan/i_god.htm"><span class="l">God.</span></a> <br><b>...</b> Here we see the highest contradictions reconciled; here justice <b>kisseth</b> the sinner;<br> here a man stands just in the sight of God, while confounded at his own <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">//christianbookshelf.org/bunyan/the riches of bunyan/i god.htm</font><p><a href="/library/chrysostom/homilies_on_acts_and_romans/homily_xxi_rom_xii_4.htm"><span class="l">Rom. xii. 4, 5</span></a> <br><b>...</b> kissed him.
