Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Chelbah, as it is a specific Hebrew place name.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of ancient Israel, the allocation of land to the tribes was a significant event, as it represented the fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham regarding the inheritance of the land of Canaan.

This region was strategically important due to its proximity to trade routes and the Mediterranean Sea.
