Meaning and etymology of the name Hazor
|
|
| | |
Hazor 
There are four or five towns named Hazor in the Bible. One is a city in Canaan that was destroyed by Joshua (Joshua 11:1) but rebuild (Joshua 19:36) and fortified by Solomon (1 Kings 9:15). There are two towns named Hazor in southern Judah (Joshua 15:23 and 25), one in Benjamin (Nehemiah 11:33) and one near a town called Kedar, which was most likely named after a son of Ishmael, who lived in the Arabian desert. (Jeremiah 49:28)
The name Hazor comes from the root  (hzr I, II, III, IV & V), which is exhaustively treated under Hazermaveth.
The name Hazor has many meanings, including Village, Trumpet, and Leek. NOBS Study Bible Name List reads Enclosure; Jones' Dictionary of Old Testament Proper Names reads Fence, Castle, but that seems a very liberal interpretation.
