Hezron

Hezron is named once, in the description of Judah's southern border: “and it went out southward of the ascent of Akrabbim, and passed along to Zin, and went up by the south of Kadesh Barnea, and passed along by Hezron, went up to Addar, and turned toward Karka” (Joshua 15:3). The parallel description of the land's southern border says the border “shall pass southward of Kadesh Barnea; and it shall go from there to Hazar Addar, and pass along to Azmon” (Numbers 34:4), so Hezron lay on the same stretch of border, near Addar. Its site is not known. It is a different place from Hazor, the Canaanite city in Galilee (Joshua 11:1).
