Tochen

Places · Updated 2026-05-07

Tochen is a settlement listed among the villages of the tribe of Simeon within the territory of Judah.

A village in Simeon's allotment

The single notice places Tochen alongside three neighboring sites: "And their villages were Etam, and En-Rimmon, and Tochen, and Ashan" (1 Ch 4:32). The grouping reflects the cluster of small Simeonite settlements nested inside the larger inheritance of Judah, with no further narrative attaching to Tochen itself.
