Usage: The term קִשְׁיוֹן (Kishjon) is used in the context of a geographical location within the biblical narrative, specifically in the allocation of land to the tribes of Israel.

Context: Kishjon is mentioned in the context of the division of the Promised Land among the tribes of Israel. It is listed as one of the towns within the inheritance of the tribe of Zebulun. The reference to Kishjon can be found in the Book of Joshua, where the land is being apportioned among the tribes. The specific mention of Kishjon is in Joshua 19:15, where it is included in the list of towns given to Zebulun: "Kattath, Nahalal, Shimron, Idalah, and Bethlehem—twelve cities, along with their villages." Kishjon is noted for its inclusion in this list, although further details about the town itself are sparse in the biblical text. The name Kishjon, derived from a root meaning "hard" or "difficult," may imply a characteristic of the location, though the text does not elaborate on this aspect.
