A boundary marker in the tribal inheritance of Asher the same as Abdon
GalileeEbron was a boundary point of Asher's tribal inheritance in the western Galilee, named in Joshua 19:28: "And Hebron, and Rehob, and Hammon, and Kanah, even unto great Zidon." Most modern translators treat "Ebron" here as a textual variant or scribal slip for "Abdon" — the Levitical city of Asher named in the parallel list at Joshua 21:30. The two names refer to the same coastal Galilee town between Acco and Tyre. The site is identified with Khirbet Abdeh in northern Israel.
