Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for the proper noun "Nakon" as it is a specific Hebrew place name. However, the concept of a "threshing floor" can be related to Greek terms used in the Septuagint and New Testament for similar agricultural settings, though these are not direct translations of the name "Nakon."

Usage: The term "Nakon" is used in the context of a geographical location in the Hebrew Bible. It is specifically mentioned in the narrative of Uzzah's death when the Ark of the Covenant was being transported.

Context: Nakon is mentioned in 2 Samuel 6:6 in the context of the transportation of the Ark of the Covenant by King David. The passage describes how the oxen stumbled at the threshing floor of Nakon, leading Uzzah to reach out and steady the Ark, resulting in his death by divine judgment. This event underscores the holiness of the Ark and the importance of following divine instructions precisely.
• The location of the threshing floor of Nakon is not definitively identified in modern geography, but it is understood to be on the route from Baale-judah to Jerusalem. The incident at Nakon serves as a pivotal moment in the narrative, highlighting the reverence required in handling sacred objects.
• The parallel account in 1 Chronicles 13:9 refers to the same location as the "threshing floor of Chidon," suggesting a possible alternate name or textual variation.
