Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Mishal, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew Bible and does not have a direct Greek equivalent in the Septuagint or New Testament texts.

Usage: Mishal is mentioned in the context of territorial allotments in the Old Testament. It is identified as a town within the tribal inheritance of Asher.

Context: Mishal is a town located in the territory allotted to the tribe of Asher, as recorded in the Old Testament. It is mentioned in the context of the division of the Promised Land among the tribes of Israel. The town is noted in the Book of Joshua:

- Joshua 19:25 (BSB): "Their territory included Helkath, Hali, Beten, Achshaph, Allammelech, Amad, and Mishal. On the west the boundary touched Carmel and Shihor-libnath."

Mishal is also referenced in the context of the Levitical cities. The Levites, who were assigned specific cities within the territories of the other tribes, were given Mishal as one of their dwelling places:

- Joshua 21:30 (BSB): "From the tribe of Asher they received Mishal, Abdon, Helkath, and Rehob—four cities."

The town of Mishal, therefore, holds significance as part of the Levitical cities, which were designated for the Levites to inhabit and serve in their priestly duties. The allocation of Mishal to the Levites underscores the integration of religious and tribal life in ancient Israel.
