Chuqoqah, a border town in Naphtali's territory (with directional suffix 'toward')
Chuqoqah marks a boundary point in Naphtali's tribal allotment in Joshua 19:34, appearing with the directional suffix indicating 'toward Chuqoqah.' Robinson identified it with Yakûk, located about four miles northwest of the Sea of Galilee. The name may derive from a root meaning 'engraved' or 'decreed,' possibly referring to border markers or boundary stones. The multilingual glosses preserve the name with minimal adaptation, reflecting its function as a proper geographic designation.
