Eth-kazin standard

Where is Eth-kazin in the Bible?

Eth-kazin was a border town of the tribe of Zebulun in ancient Israel, mentioned in Joshua 19:13 as part of the territorial boundary descriptions. Located near the town of Neah in the northern region of Canaan, Eth-kazin marked one of the defining points of Zebulun's inheritance after the Israelites entered the promised land. The exact modern location of Eth-kazin has not been identified by scholars, though it was significant enough to be included in the detailed boundary account of Joshua's land division among the twelve tribes. The name appears in some older biblical translations as "Ittah," which resulted from a misreading of the Hebrew letter "he" that indicates a locale or place.
