Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to stop up.Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for לַקּוּם (Lakkum) as it is a specific proper noun referring to a location in the Hebrew Bible. Greek translations of the Old Testament, such as the Septuagint, may transliterate the name, but it does not have a distinct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance. Usage: The term לַקּוּם (Lakkum) is used in the context of a geographical location within the biblical narrative, specifically in the delineation of tribal boundaries. Context: Lakkum is mentioned in the Old Testament as a landmark on the northern boundary of the tribe of Naphtali. This boundary is described in the Book of Joshua, where the land allotments for the tribes of Israel are detailed. In Joshua 19:33, the boundary of Naphtali is described as extending from Heleph and the large tree in Zaanannim, passing Adami Nekeb and Jabneel, to Lakkum, and ending at the Jordan River. The precise location of Lakkum is not definitively known today, but it is understood to have been situated in the northern region of ancient Israel, contributing to the demarcation of Naphtali's territory. The name Lakkum itself suggests a place that might have been characterized by a natural feature or man-made structure that served as a boundary marker.
