Usage: Almon is used as a proper noun referring to a specific location in the Bible. Context: Almon is a Levitical city located in the territory of the tribe of Benjamin. It is mentioned in the context of the allocation of cities to the Levites, who were the priestly tribe in Israel. The city is referenced in Joshua 21:18, where it is listed among the cities given to the descendants of Aaron, the priest. The name Almon suggests a place of concealment or hiddenness, which may reflect its geographical features or historical significance. In the Berean Standard Bible, Joshua 21:18 states: "Anathoth and Almon, each with its pasturelands—four cities." This indicates that Almon, along with Anathoth, was one of the cities designated for the Levites, complete with surrounding pasturelands for their livestock. The exact location of Almon is not definitively known today, but it is traditionally associated with the area near modern-day Anata, northeast of Jerusalem.
