Lasha (place name; border point near Sodom and Gomorrah)
Lasha was a place near Sodom and Gomorrah, marking the extent of the Canaanite border in Genesis 10:19. Jerome identified it with Kallirrhoë, a site with hot springs. The Septuagint renders it as Δασα or Λασα. The site's exact location remains uncertain, though it lay in the southeastern region of Canaan. This geographical marker appears in the Table of Nations, defining the extent of Canaanite territory before Israel's arrival.
Senses
1. sense 1 — Genesis 10:19 uses Lasha as a geographical boundary marker: "the border of the Canaanites extended from Sidon... toward Sodom, Gomorrah... as far as Lasha." All modern translations preserve "Lasha" as a place name. This brief reference locates an otherwise unknown site in relation to the infamous cities of the plain, mapping the pre-Israelite inhabitants' territorial extent. 1×
