A Hebrew term meaning a court or enclosed space. Hazar is a common element in place names: Hazar-enan ( Ezekiel 47:17 ); Hazar-gaddah (Joshua 15:27 ); Hazar-shual (Joshua 15:28 ); Hazar-susah (Joshua 19:5 ). The place names perhaps recall the pitching of tents or building of homes in a circle for protection, resulting in an enclosed space. Alternately, settlements bearing the name Hazar were enclosed with walls or other defenses (compare Numbers 13:28; Deuteronomy 1:28 ). See Cities and Urban Life .
