Hazar-shual ('village of the jackal/fox'), a town in southern Judah allotted also to Simeon
A compound place name from hatsar ('enclosure, village') and shu'al ('fox, jackal'), identifying a settlement in the Negev region. It appears in the town lists of southern Judah (Josh 15:28), Simeon (Josh 19:3), the Chronicler's genealogical record (1 Chr 4:28), and among post-exilic returnees (Neh 11:27). Its dual assignment to both Judah and Simeon reflects the overlapping tribal territories in the deep south of the land.
Senses
1. sense 1 — A Negev settlement assigned to both Judah and Simeon, appearing consistently in town lists across four biblical books. All four occurrences are prefixed with the conjunction waw ('and'), placing it within catalog enumerations. The name's animal element shu'al ('fox/jackal') likely reflects the wildlife of the arid southern landscape. French and German glosses sometimes leave the compound untranslated in Hebrew brackets, while English and Spanish consistently transliterate as 'Hazar-Shual' / 'Hazar-Sual.' 4×
