Usage: Rakkath is mentioned in the context of a city within the territory of the tribe of Naphtali. Context: Rakkath is identified as one of the fortified cities within the inheritance of the tribe of Naphtali, as recorded in the Old Testament. It is mentioned in the Book of Joshua, specifically in Joshua 19:35, which lists the cities of Naphtali. The verse states: "The fortified cities were Ziddim, Zer, Hammath, Rakkath, Chinnereth." Rakkath is traditionally associated with the area around the Sea of Galilee, and some scholars suggest it may have been located near or even part of the ancient city of Tiberias. The name Rakkath, meaning "thin" or "shore," could imply its geographical features or its position along the water. The historical and archaeological evidence for Rakkath is limited, and its exact location remains a subject of scholarly discussion.
