Subjects in this Topic:
(Hebrew Chukkok', çֻ÷ֹּ÷ , incised; Sept. É᾿êώê 5. r. É᾿áêáíÜ ,Vulg. Hucusa), a town on the border of Naphtali, near Zebulon, not far from Jordan, west of Aznoth-Tabor, and in the direction of Asher (Jos_19:34); elsewhere written HUKOK ( çåּ÷ֹ÷ , Chukok', 1Ch_6:75; Sept. É᾿áêÜê ,.Vulg. Hucac); but probably, in this latter passage, erroneously for HELKATH (Jos_21:35; comp. Jos_19:25). Eusebius and Jerome (Onomast. s.v. Icoc), as well as Benj. of Tudela (2, 421), allude to it. It is doubtless identical with the modern small village Yakuk, between the plain of Genesareth and Safed (Robinson's Researches, 3 App. p. 133; Biblioth. Sac. 1843, p. 80), said to contain the grave of Habakkuk (see new edit. of Researches, 3, 81; and comp. Schwarz, Palestine, p. 182).
