(Heb. Lakkum', ìִ÷ּåּí , according to Gesenius, way-stopper, i.e. fortified place; Sept. Ëóêïýì v. r. ÄùäÜì and ῎Áêñïí , Vulg. Lecum), a place on the northeastern border of Naphtali, mentioned after Jabneel in the direction of the Jordan (Jos_19:33), and therefore probably situated not far south of Lake Merom. ''he Talmud (Megilloth, lxx, 1) speaks of a Lakium ( ìå÷éí ), perhaps the same place (see Reland, Palest. p. 875). The site of Lakkum is possibly indicated by the ruins marked on Van de Velde's Map adjoining a small pool east of Tell-Akbarcth and south-east of Safed.
