1. Aijalon (place name) — The proper noun Aijalon/Ayalon (meaning 'deer-field'), a toponym referring to a Levitical city and valley in the tribal territory of Dan. Referenced in Joshua 10:12 (the valley where the sun stood still), Joshua 19:42 and 21:24 (listed among Dan's cities), Judges 1:35 and 12:12, 1 Chronicles 6:69 and 8:13 (Levitical city assignments), and 2 Chronicles 11:10 and 28:18 (Philistine conquest). All clusters refer to the same geographic location; the variations in spelling (Ayalon/Aijalon/Ayyalon) and syntactic framing (bare name, with prepositions b-/w-) are purely orthographic and grammatical, not semantic. Multilingual glosses uniformly transliterate the name (Arabic Ayyalun, Korean ayallon, Spanish Ayalon/Ajalon). 10×
