Strong's Lexicon Qartah: Qartah Original Word: קַרתָּה Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to encounter or meet Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Qartah, as it is a specific Hebrew place name. However, the concept of Levitical cities can be related to Greek terms for cities or regions, such as πόλις (polis, Strong's Greek 4172). Usage: Qartah is a location mentioned in the Old Testament, specifically in the context of the tribal allotments in the land of Canaan. It is identified as one of the cities given to the Levites from the tribe of Zebulun. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Israelite context, the division of the Promised Land among the twelve tribes was a significant event, marking the fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham. The Levites, who were set apart for religious duties, did not receive a large contiguous territory like the other tribes. Instead, they were given specific cities within the territories of other tribes. Qartah, as one of these Levitical cities, played a role in ensuring that the Levites were distributed throughout Israel, facilitating their religious and educational duties among the people.
