Strong's Lexicon Cholon: Holon Original Word: חֹלוֹן Word Origin: Derived from the root חוּל (chul), which can mean "to whirl" or "to dance." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Holon, as it is a specific Hebrew place name. However, the concept of Levitical cities can be related to Greek terms for cities or places of worship, such as πόλις (polis) for city. Usage: Holon is a place name mentioned in the Hebrew Bible. It is identified as a Levitical city within the territory of Judah. The name may imply a sense of movement or circularity, possibly reflecting the geographical or cultural characteristics of the area. Cultural and Historical Background: Holon was one of the cities given to the Levites, the priestly tribe of Israel, as part of their inheritance. The Levites were not allotted a contiguous territory like the other tribes but were instead given specific cities throughout Israel. This distribution allowed them to perform their religious duties and teach the Law across the nation. Holon's inclusion as a Levitical city underscores its role in the spiritual and communal life of ancient Israel.
