Secacah, a town in Judah's wilderness
Secacah was a settlement in the wilderness district of Judah, listed among the towns in Joshua's territorial allotments. Its precise location remains unknown, lost along with many other wilderness settlements that left no enduring archaeological traces. The wilderness of Judah was sparsely populated, with scattered towns serving as outposts in the harsh terrain between the central hill country and the Dead Sea. Ancient versions transliterate the name differently—Sochoḥa, Sḥaḥa—reflecting pronunciation uncertainties. The town's inclusion in tribal allotments shows systematic organization even in marginal territories.
