A location on Judah's southern boundary, mentioned in Joshua's territorial descriptions. The name means 'the floor' or 'the level ground,' possibly describing local topography. It appears near Kadesh-Barnea on Judah's southern frontier toward Edom. The definite article and directional suffix indicate 'toward the Karkaa,' treating it as a known landmark for boundary definition. Greek versions show textual uncertainty, with one reading 'westward from Kadesh.' Like many minor boundary markers, exact identification is lost, but the name preserved tribal memory of landmarks that defined inheritance. Every border point mattered in Israel's sacred geography.
