En-Chatsor, a town in the tribal territory of Naphtali
En-Chatsor appears once in the boundary list for Naphtali's inheritance. The name means 'spring of Chatsor,' combining the common element 'En' (spring/fountain) with Chatsor. The Septuagint renders it as 'spring of Asor,' preserving the connection to water sources that were vital for settlement locations. It was one of the fortified cities marking the northern tribal boundaries.
Senses
1. sense 1 — A settlement in the territory of Naphtali mentioned in Joshua 19:37. The multilingual evidence consistently preserves the proper name with the 'En-' prefix (English: 'and-En-Chatsor', Spanish: 'y-En-hazor', French: 'et-En-Chatsor'), indicating a place name associated with a spring. This single attestation places it within the context of territorial boundary markers in Joshua's distribution of the promised land. 1×
