Profile
Eth-kazin • Border town of Zebulun near Neah
Eth-kazin, a border town of Zebulun located near Neah.
- A location near Dimnah דִּמְנָה first mentioned at Jos.19.13;
- only referred to as Eth-kazin עֵת קָצִין.
Eth-kazin is mentioned only once in the Bible, in Joshua 19:13, as part of the description of the border of the territory allotted to the tribe of Zebulun. The verse states that the border "turned eastward to Gath-hepher, to Eth-kazin, and went out to Rimmon, which stretches to Neah."
The exact location of Eth-kazin is uncertain, but it was situated near the towns of Gath-hepher and Neah, likely in the region of Lower Galilee. The name Eth-kazin may be derived from the Hebrew words "eth," meaning "time," and "kazin," meaning "to cut off," possibly referring to a place where some event or decision took place.
