Gath-rimmon; a Levitical city in the territory of Dan, meaning 'winepress of the pomegranate.'
A compound place name combining gath ('winepress') and rimmon ('pomegranate'), designating a Levitical city allocated to Dan. It appears in the list of Danite towns (Josh 19:45), then again as a city given to the Kohathite Levites (Josh 21:24; 1 Chr 6:69). The occurrence in Joshua 21:25 within Manasseh is regarded by BDB as a scribal error for Ibleam. All translations preserve the compound form consistently (Gath-Rimmon / Gat-Rimón), showing no semantic ambiguity.

1. sense 1 — A Levitical city in the tribal allotment of Dan, whose name means 'winepress of the pomegranate.' It served as one of the cities assigned to the Kohathite clan of Levites (Josh 21:24; 1 Chr 6:69). The second occurrence in Joshua 21:25, placed in Manasseh, is widely considered a textual corruption for Ibleam. The site remains unidentified archaeologically. 4×
