Hukkok ( = "engraved"):

By: Emil G. Hirsch , M. Seligsohn

Place on the borders of Naphtali, near Aznot Tabor (Josh. xix. 34). As the frontier line coincided with the western limit of Asher ( l.c. ), it is probable that this place is identical with the Hukok that fell to the lot of Asher (I Chron. vi. 60), though the latter is written . Estori Farḥi ("Kaftor wa-Feraḥ," xviii.), followed by such scholars as Schwarz and Robinson, identifies Hukkok with the modern Yaḳuḳ, a village 6 miles southwest of Safed and 12 miles north of Mount Tabor, where tradition places the grave of Habakkuk. Estori saw at Yaḳuḳ a Jewish synagogue; he says that the place must not be confounded with the Hukok of Asher.
