About this place
Lasha, also referred to as Nahaliel, is mentioned in two different contexts in the Bible. In Genesis 10:19, Lasha is described as one of the boundaries of the Canaanite territory, along with Sidon, Gomorrah, and Sodom. In Numbers 21:19, Nahaliel is listed as one of the places the Israelites passed through during their wilderness journey from the Arnon to Bamoth and on to Pisgah. It is unclear whether these two references indicate the same location or different places with similar names.
