Usage: The term יַתִּיר (Jattir) is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote a specific Levitical city located in the territory of Judah. It is mentioned in the context of the allotment of cities to the Levites and in the narratives concerning David. Context: Jattir is a city situated in the hill country of Judah, allocated to the Levites as recorded in the Book of Joshua. It is mentioned in Joshua 15:48 as part of the inheritance of the tribe of Judah and in Joshua 21:14 as one of the cities given to the descendants of Aaron, the priestly line of the Levites. The city is also noted in 1 Samuel 30:27, where David sends some of the spoils of his victory over the Amalekites to the elders of Jattir, indicating its significance and possibly its role as a place of refuge or support for David during his time of need. The location of Jattir is identified with the modern site of Khirbet Attir, which lies approximately 13 miles south of Hebron. The city's historical and geographical context highlights its importance within the tribal and religious landscape of ancient Israel.
