Where is Tochen in the Bible?

Tochen was a town in ancient Israel allotted to the tribe of Simeon, as recorded in 1 Chronicles 4:32. The town appears in Joshua 19:7, though scholars note that the Hebrew text may have corrupted or lost the name, while the ancient Greek Septuagint preserves it as "Thokka." Located in the southern region of Israel where Simeon's tribal inheritance lay, Tochen served as one of the settlements distributed among the Simeonite communities. The exact modern location of Tochen has not been identified by archaeologists, making it difficult to pinpoint its precise geographical position today.
