Strong's Lexicon Chatsar Shual: Hazar-shual Original Word: חֲצַר שׁוּעָל Word Origin: Derived from two Hebrew words: חֲצַר (chatsar), meaning "village" or "enclosure," and שׁוּעָל (shual), meaning "fox." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Chatsar Shual, as it is a specific Hebrew place name. However, the concept of "enclosure" or "village" can be related to Greek terms like "αὐλή" (aulē), meaning "court" or "enclosure." Usage: Chatsar Shual, or Hazar-shual, is a place name in the Hebrew Bible. It translates to "village of the fox" or "enclosure of the fox." It is mentioned as a location in the southern part of the territory allotted to the tribe of Judah. Cultural and Historical Background: Chatsar Shual is situated in the Negev region, a semi-arid area in the southern part of ancient Israel. The name reflects the common practice of naming places after animals or natural features. The Negev was a frontier region, often associated with pastoral activities and nomadic tribes. The mention of "fox" in the name could indicate the presence of these animals in the area or symbolize cunning and survival in a harsh environment.
