Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Chammon, as it is a specific Hebrew proper noun referring to a location not directly paralleled in the Greek New Testament. However, the concept of "warm springs" or "hot springs" might be related to Greek terms describing similar natural features, though these would not be direct translations or equivalents.

Usage: Chammon is used as a proper noun in the Hebrew Bible, specifically referring to a location.

Context: • Chammon is mentioned in the context of a Levitical city within the territory of the tribe of Naphtali. It is one of the cities given to the Levites, as recorded in the Old Testament. The name Chammon suggests a place characterized by thermal springs or warm waters, which may have been a notable feature of the area.
• In the Berean Standard Bible, Chammon is referenced in 1 Chronicles 6:76: "And from the tribe of Naphtali they were given Kedesh in Galilee, Hammon, and Kiriathaim, together with their pasturelands."
• The city of Chammon, due to its association with the Levites, would have been a place of religious and cultural significance, serving as a center for Levitical duties and possibly a place of refuge and teaching.
