Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the root נהל (nahal), which means "to lead with care" or "to guide to a watering place."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Strong's Greek entry that relates to the concept of pasture or grazing is G3586, ξύλον (xylon), which primarily means "wood" or "tree." While not directly related in meaning, the concept of a tree or wood can metaphorically relate to the idea of a place of sustenance or provision, similar to a pasture. However, it is important to note that the Greek term does not directly translate to "pasture" but is included here for its metaphorical connections in biblical literature.

Usage: The term נַהֲלֹל is used in the context of a place associated with pastures or grazing lands. It is specifically mentioned as a location within the territory of the tribe of Zebulun.

Context: Nahalol, also known as Nahalal, is a location mentioned in the Old Testament, specifically within the tribal allotments of the Israelites. It is identified as a city in the territory of Zebulun. The name Nahalol is derived from the Hebrew root נהל, which conveys the idea of leading or guiding, often in the context of providing for livestock, hence the association with pastures.

In the Book of Joshua, Nahalol is listed among the cities given to the tribe of Zebulun: "The third lot came out for the children of Zebulun according to their families, and the border of their inheritance was as far as Sarid. Their border went up westward to Maralah, reached to Dabbesheth, and extended along the brook east of Jokneam. It turned from Sarid eastward toward the sunrise to the border of Chisloth-tabor, went out to Daberath, and went up to Japhia. From there it passed along eastward to Gath-hepher, to Eth-kazin, and extended to Rimmon, which borders Neah. Then the border went around on the north side to Hannathon, and it ended at the Valley of Iphtah-el. Included were Kattath, Nahalal, Shimron, Idalah, and Bethlehem; twelve cities with their villages" (Joshua 19:10-15, BSB).

Nahalol is also mentioned in the context of the Levitical cities. In the Book of Judges, it is noted that the Israelites did not drive out the inhabitants of Nahalol, which led to the Canaanites continuing to dwell in the land: "But the Asherites did not drive out the inhabitants of Acco or Sidon or Ahlab or Achzib or Helbah or Aphik or Rehob. So the Asherites lived among the Canaanite inhabitants of the land, because they did not drive them out" (Judges 1:31-32, BSB).
