Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for En-hazor in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a specific Hebrew place name.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, springs and fountains were vital sources of water, especially in arid regions. They often became central to settlements and were considered valuable resources. The name En-hazor suggests a settlement that was likely built around a water source, providing sustenance and strategic advantage. The region of Naphtali, where En-hazor is located, was known for its fertile land and strategic position in the northern part of Israel.
