Joshua 15:25Hazor Hadattah, Kerioth Hezron (the same is Hazor),
The setting
Canaan, ~1400 BC. Joshua's scribes carefully record boundary markers as the tribe of Judah receives their promised inheritance in southern Israel.
The original word
naḥălāh (נַחֲלָה) — inheritance passed down through generations, not earned
Why it matters
Hazor was both a major Canaanite city and a smaller settlement with the same name
