EspañolHAZOR
'Hazor' (, ''lit. "courtyard" or "settlement"'') is the name of several places in the biblical and modern Land of Israel:
Biblical locations:
★ 'Tel Hazor', site of an ancient fortified city in the Upper Galilee, among the most important Caananite towns, and the largest ancient ruin in modern Israel and UNESCO World Heritage Site.
★ Hazor, A town in the southern Negev, between Kadesh and Ithan, mentioned in a geographic list.[1] The Codex Vaticanus conflates ''Hazor'' and ''Ithnan'' into a single word in the list, while Codex Alexandrinus completely omits ''Ithnan'' from it. Suspected by some archaeologists to be identical with modern ''El-Jebariyeh''.
★ Hazor, one of the towns inhabited by the descendants of the Tribe of Benjamin, after their return from Babylonian Captivity.[2] The town, described by the Book of Nehemiah as being located between Ananiah and Ramah, is suspected by some archaeologists to be identical with modern ''Khirbet Hazzur''.
★ Hazor, one of the towns devastated by Nabu-Kudurri-User, described by the Book of Jeremiah as being in the vicinity of Kedar.[3] The text refers to ''kingdoms of Hazor'', which suggests the possibility that this ''Hazor'' was the name of a region in the Arab desert (the land east of the Jordan River).[4]
★ ''Kerioth-Hezron', a town in the south of the land occupied by the Tribe of Judah, Kerioth;[5] the Revised Standard Version renders it as ''Hazor-Hadattah''. Archaeologists suspect the town to be identical to modern ''Khirbet el-Qaryatein''.
Modern-day Israel:
★ A town in northern Israel (see Hatzor HaGelilit)
★ A kibbutz in central Israel (see Kibbutz Hatzor), also called "''Hatzor Ashdod''" after the nearby city.
★ An Israeli Air Force base located next to this kibbutz (see Hatzor Israeli Air Force Base)
