Subjects in this Topic:
(Heb. Lecah', ìֵëָä , perh. for éְìֵëָä , a journey, but according to Fürst, annexation; Sept. Ëç÷Ü v. r. Ëç÷Üä and Ëç÷Üâ ; Vulg. Lecha), a place in the tribe of Judah founded by Er (or rather, perhaps, by a son of his named Lecah), the first-named son of Shelah (1Ch_4:21). As Mareshah is stated in the same connection to have been founded by a member of the same family, we may conjecture that Lecah (if indeed a town) lay in the same vicinity, perhaps westerly.
