VIEW:34 DATA:01-04-2020
HELKATH.—A Levitical city belonging to the tribe of Asher (Jos_19:25; Jos_21:31). The site is uncertain. The same place, owing probably to a textual error, appears in 1Ch_6:75 as Hukok.
Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible
Edited by James Hastings, D.D. Published in 1909


The town where the boundary of Asher began, proceeding from S. to N. (Jos_19:25.) Allotted to the Gershonite Levites (Jos_21:31). HUKOK in 1Ch_6:75.
Fausset's Bible Dictionary

Helkath
(Heb. Chelkath', חֶלְקִת, Jos_19:25, but חֶלְקָת, even without pause- accent, Jos_21:31;” construct” of , חֶלְקָה, smoothness, as in Gen_27:16, or potion, as in Gen_33:19, etc.; Sept. Χελκάθ), a town of Asher, on the eastern border, mentioned as the starting-point in the direction (apparently southward) to Achshaph (Jos_19:25); assigned as one of the Levitical cities (Jos_21:31). In 1Ch_6:75, it appears to be erroneously written HUKOK. SEE HUKKOE. p the Onomnasticon it is simply mentioned by Eusebius as Eoiri, by Jerome as Elcath; but neither seems to have known it. De Saulcy inclines to identify it with a village called Kirkeh, which he reports not far southeast of Akka (Narrative, 1, 68); and Schwarz (Palestine, p. 191) thinks it is the modern Yerka, about seven miles north-east of Akka; but neither of these positions is in the neighborhood indicated by the text, which rather requires a locality nearer the north-eastern angle of the tribe, not unlikely at the ruined village Ukrith, about twelve miles S.E. of Tyre, as proposed by Van de Velde (Memoir, p. 320).
