Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root חָצֵר (chatsar), meaning "to surround" or "enclosure."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for the proper noun "Chatsor" in the Strong's Greek lexicon, as it is a specific Hebrew place name. However, the concept of a fortified city or enclosure might be related to Greek terms for city or fortification, though these would not be direct translations of the name "Chatsor."

Usage: The term "Chatsor" is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to several locations, most notably a significant Canaanite city in northern Palestine, which was later conquered by Joshua. It is also used to denote other towns or regions in the territories of Naphtali, Judah, and Benjamin.

Context: Chatsor in Canaan: Chatsor was a prominent Canaanite city located in the northern part of ancient Israel. It is first mentioned in the context of Joshua's conquests, where it is described as the head of all those kingdoms (Joshua 11:10). The city was ruled by King Jabin, who was defeated by Joshua, and the city was subsequently burned (Joshua 11:11-13). Chatsor was later rebuilt and became a fortified city in the territory of Naphtali (Joshua 19:36).

Other References: Besides the well-known city in Naphtali, the name Chatsor is also associated with other locations:
• A town in the Negev of Judah (Joshua 15:23).
• A city in the territory of Benjamin (Nehemiah 11:33).
• A location in the region of Kedar, mentioned in the context of prophecies against certain nations (Jeremiah 49:28-33).

Archaeological Significance: The site of ancient Chatsor, identified with Tell el-Qedah, has been extensively excavated, revealing a large and influential city with significant fortifications and evidence of destruction layers corresponding to biblical accounts.
