Strong's Lexicon Sokoh or Soko: Sokoh or Soko Original Word: שׂוֹכֹה Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root שָׂכָה (sakah), meaning "to hedge" or "to fence in." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Sokoh, as it is a specific Hebrew place name. However, the Greek term Σοκχώθ (Sokchoth) in the Septuagint may be used to refer to the same location. Usage: Sokoh, also spelled Soko, refers to a town or region mentioned in the Old Testament. It is identified as a place in the territory of Judah and is noted for its strategic location and historical significance. Cultural and Historical Background: Sokoh was a town located in the Shephelah, the lowland region of Judah. It was strategically positioned between the hill country and the coastal plains, making it an important site for trade and military activities. The town is mentioned in various biblical narratives, often in the context of battles and territorial delineations. Its location made it a point of contention between the Israelites and the Philistines.
