Where is Karka in the Bible?
Karka was a location marking the southern border of the tribe of Judah in ancient Israel, as recorded in Joshua 15:3. Though its exact modern location cannot be identified with certainty, scholars believe it was situated in a wilderness area of Judah, possibly in or near the Negev region. The name Karka means "the pavement" or "ground" in Hebrew, suggesting a distinctive geographical feature. As a boundary marker, Karka served an important function in defining the territorial limits of Judah's inheritance in the Promised Land during the period of settlement under Joshua.
