Jump to: Hitchcock's • Smith's • ISBE • Easton's • Concordance • Thesaurus • Greek • Hebrew • Library • Subtopics • Terms Topical Encyclopedia Etymology and Meaning: The name "Allon" is derived from the Hebrew word "אַלּוֹן" (allon), which means "oak" or "strong." This name is indicative of strength and endurance, qualities often associated with the oak tree in biblical literature. Biblical References: Allon is mentioned in the context of the tribal allotments in the Book of Joshua. Specifically, Allon is noted as a location within the territory of the tribe of Naphtali. In Joshua 19:33, the Berean Standard Bible states: "Their border started at Heleph and the large tree in Zaanannim, passing Adami-nekeb and Jabneel, as far as Lakkum, and ending at the Jordan." Historical and Geographical Context: Allon is associated with the region of Naphtali, one of the twelve tribes of Israel. The mention of a "large tree in Zaanannim" suggests that Allon may have been a notable landmark or a significant location within the tribal boundaries. The oak tree, in particular, was often a symbol of strength and longevity, and it may have served as a meeting place or a point of reference for the people of Naphtali. Cultural and Theological Significance: In the ancient Near Eastern context, trees, especially oaks, were often seen as sacred or significant due to their size, age, and the shade they provided. They were sometimes associated with divine encounters or covenants. While the Bible does not provide extensive details about Allon, the mention of a large tree could imply a place of gathering or significance for the Israelites. Related Figures and Events: While Allon as a location is not directly associated with specific biblical figures or events, it is part of the broader narrative of the Israelite settlement in the Promised Land. The allocation of land to the tribes, including Naphtali, was a fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham and his descendants, as seen throughout the Pentateuch and the historical books. Interpretation and Application: From a theological perspective, the mention of Allon and similar locations in the Bible underscores the importance of land and heritage in the biblical narrative. The land was not only a physical inheritance but also a spiritual one, representing God's faithfulness and the fulfillment of His promises. The oak tree at Allon can be seen as a symbol of God's enduring presence and strength among His people. Conclusion: While Allon is a relatively minor location in the biblical text, its mention contributes to the rich tapestry of Israel's history and God's covenantal relationship with His people. The oak tree, as a symbol of strength, serves as a reminder of the enduring nature of God's promises and the importance of the land in the biblical narrative.
