chel.qat is a proper place name named in a boundary list and among cities with pastureland.

The attested use is as a proper place name: it occurs in a boundary listing and again in a list of cities with their pastureland.

Senses in use

  1. Place name in territorial and city lists · dominant

    Both occurrences are tagged Noun · Proper. In Joshua 19:25 the APB renders “Their border was Helkath, Hali, Beten, and Achshaph,” placing the name within a border list; in Joshua 21:31 it renders “They also gave Helkath and its pasture,” naming it among cities provided with pastureland.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term as “Helkath” in both verses, once in a border list and once with “its pasture.” The verse is read as a whole, but the proper-name use is clear from the clauses.
