En-hazor

Places · Updated 2026-05-07

En-hazor is a fortified city in the inheritance of Naphtali. It is named once, in the catalogue of cities that the sixth lot brought to that tribe.

A Fortified City of Naphtali

The list of Naphtali's fortified cities runs in groups of three or four — "Ziddim, Zer, and Hammath, Rakkath, and Chinnereth, and Adamah, and Ramah, and Hazor" — and then continues, "and Kedesh, and Edrei, and En-hazor" (Josh 19:36-37). The catalogue closes at "nineteen cities with their villages" (Josh 19:38), and the writer summarizes: "This is the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Naphtali according to their families, the cities with their villages" (Josh 19:39).

En-hazor is distinct from the Hazor of Josh 19:36 in the same list — the two are named separately within Naphtali's roll. Beyond this single appearance, the city is not mentioned again.
