יהושע, פרק ט״ו, פסוק מ׳

As the land is divided and its settlements are officially recorded, the catalog of towns offers a glimpse into the past civilizations of the region. Among the locations assigned to the Israelites are Cabbon, Lahmas, and Kithlish.

These specific settlements stand out because their titles do not share the typical Semitic roots found in most surrounding areas. Instead, they carry the footprint of other ancient cultures. It is highly probable that these locations were named by earlier or neighboring peoples, with their origins tracing back to the Hurrian or Philistine languages [ביאור שטיינזלץ]. This detail highlights the diverse history of the land, showing how previous nations left a lasting mark on the local geography.
