Usage: Gath-Rimmon is used as a proper noun in the Hebrew Bible, referring to a Levitical city.

Context: Gath-Rimmon is mentioned in the context of the allotment of cities to the Levites. It is identified as a city within the territory of the tribe of Dan and later associated with the tribe of Manasseh. The city is listed among the cities given to the Kohathite Levites. In Joshua 21:24-25, Gath-Rimmon is mentioned as one of the cities given to the Levites: "Aijalon, and Gath-Rimmon—four cities." Similarly, in 1 Chronicles 6:69, it is listed as part of the Levitical cities: "Aijalon, and Gath-Rimmon with their pasturelands." The name itself suggests a place of agricultural significance, possibly indicating a location where wine and pomegranates were produced or processed. The exact location of Gath-Rimmon is not definitively known today, but it holds historical significance as part of the Levitical inheritance.
