יהושע, פרק ט״ו, פסוק ס׳

The names of places within the tribal lands often reflect significant historical and religious shifts. For instance, the city originally known as Kiryat Baal underwent a deliberate name change and became Kiryat Jearim. This was done to erase the connection to the pagan idol Baal, ensuring the location would no longer honor it. Another city in the region, Rabah, earned its name simply because of its impressive size, marking it as a large settlement. Together, this specific area consists of these two main cities, along with the smaller surrounding courtyards and villages.
