Hazor-hadattah
Hazor-hadattah is a location mentioned in the allotment of land to the tribe of Judah. The name "Hazor" means "enclosure" or "village," and "hadattah" means "new," suggesting it may have been a newer settlement or a rebuilt version of an older city. This site is distinct from the more famous Hazor in the north of Israel, which was a significant Canaanite city. The mention of Hazor-hadattah highlights the detailed nature of the land distribution among the tribes, emphasizing the fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham regarding the land (Genesis 15:18-21).

Kerioth-hezron (that is, Hazor)
Kerioth-hezron, also referred to as Hazor, indicates a dual name for the same location, which was common in ancient times. "Kerioth" means "cities" or "towns," and "Hezron" is a name that appears elsewhere in the Bible, possibly indicating a connection to a family or clan within Judah. The parenthetical clarification "(that is, Hazor)" suggests that this Hazor was a well-known location within the tribal inheritance. This dual naming could reflect a historical or cultural significance, possibly indicating a merger of two communities or a renaming over time. The specificity of these names underscores the importance of land inheritance and identity for the tribes of Israel, as well as the meticulous record-keeping in the biblical narrative.
