Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Akzib in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper noun specific to Hebrew geography and history.

Usage: Akzib is a place name in the Hebrew Bible, often associated with deception or disappointment. It is mentioned as a city in the territory of Judah and also in the territory of Asher. The name itself suggests a sense of falsehood or unfulfilled expectations.

Cultural and Historical Background: Akzib was a city located in the Shephelah, the lowland region of ancient Judah, and another city by the same name was located in the territory of Asher, near the Mediterranean coast. The city in Judah is mentioned in the context of the inheritance of the tribes of Israel, while the city in Asher is noted for its failure to be fully conquered by the Israelites, reflecting the broader theme of incomplete conquest in the Promised Land.
