Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root קָצָה (qatsah), meaning "to cut off" or "to end."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for the proper noun "Makats" as it is a specific Hebrew place name. However, the concept of boundaries or ends, which is related to the root of Makats, might be conceptually linked to Greek terms like πέρας (peras, meaning "end" or "limit"), though this is not a direct lexical correspondence. Usage: The term "Makats" appears in the context of a geographical location. It is mentioned in the Old Testament as a place associated with the tribe of Gad. Context: • Makats is referenced in the context of the tribal allotments in the Book of Joshua. It is identified as a location within the territory assigned to the tribe of Gad. The specific mention of Makats is found in Joshua 13:26, where it is listed among the towns and regions that define the boundaries of Gad's inheritance. The exact location of Makats is not definitively known today, and it is not frequently mentioned elsewhere in biblical texts. The name itself suggests a place that might have been at the "end" or "edge" of a region, consistent with its root meaning. The historical and archaeological details about Makats remain limited, and it is primarily recognized through its biblical mention.
