transparency; whiteness. (1.) One of the stations of the Israelites in the wilderness (Num. 33:20, Num. 33: 21). (2.) One of the royal cities of the Canaanites taken by Joshua (Josh. 10:29;12:15). It became one of the Levitical towns in the tribe of Judah (21:13), and was strongly fortified. Sennacherib laid siege to it (2-Kings 19:8; Isa. 37:8). It was the native place of Hamutal, the queen of Josiah (2-Kings 23:31). It stood near Lachish, and has been identified with the modern Arak el-Menshiyeh.
