Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Mishal, as it is a specific place name in the Hebrew Bible. However, the concept of Levitical cities can be related to Greek terms for cities or regions, such as πόλις (polis) for city.

Usage: Mishal is a proper noun referring to a town in the territory of the tribe of Asher, as mentioned in the Old Testament. It is one of the cities given to the Levites.

Cultural and Historical Background: Mishal was located in the region allotted to the tribe of Asher, one of the twelve tribes of Israel. The town was later designated as a Levitical city, meaning it was given to the Levites, the priestly tribe, as part of their inheritance. The Levites were responsible for religious duties and temple service, and they were distributed among the other tribes to perform these functions.
