(also HAZOR) is frequently prefixed to geographical names, in order to indicate their dependence as villages (חָצֵר , chatser', a hamlet; (See VILLAGE)) upon some town or other noted spot, or in order to distinguish them from it; e.g. those following. "The word Bazar, when joined to places situated in the desert or on the outskirts of the inhabited country, as it frequently is, probably denoted a piece of ground surrounded by a rude but strong fence, where tents could be pitched, and cattle kept in safety from marauders. ‘ Such places are very common at the present day in the outlying districts of Palestine. In other cases Hazar may denote a castle or ‘ fortified town' (See HAZER).
