Beth-hoglah, a town name meaning 'house of the partridge'; on the Judah-Benjamin border
A place name meaning 'house/place of the partridge,' marking a boundary point between Judah and Benjamin. The town appears in Joshua's territorial allotments: the border between Judah and Benjamin passes by Beth-hoglah (Joshua 15:6; 18:19), and the town is listed within Benjamin's inheritance (Joshua 18:21). Modern identification places it at Ain Hajla (or Qasr Hajla), preserving the ancient name. The partridge reference may indicate the area was known for these birds or perhaps named after a shrine or natural feature.
