Tolad — place name in Simeon's territory, possibly identical with Eltolad
Tolad appears in 1 Chronicles 4:29 as a town in Simeon's inheritance. It may be the same as Eltolad mentioned in Joshua 15:30 and 19:4, with a shortened form of the name. The Septuagint shows textual variation. Simeonite towns were actually within Judah's larger territory, reflecting Simeon's absorption into Judah. These town lists preserve ancient territorial memory even after political realities shifted.
Senses
1. sense 1 — A place name in 1 Chronicles 4:29, listed among Simeonite towns. Scholars identify it with Eltolad from Joshua, suggesting 'Tolad' is a shortened form. The conjunction 'and in Tolad' links it to a series of settlements. Geographical precision in genealogical lists served both historical memory and potential land claims, especially important for tribes like Simeon that lacked clearly defined borders. 1×
