Tochen

TOCHEN to'-ken (tokhen, "task," "measure"; Codex Vaticanus Thokka; Codex Alexandrinus Thochchan):

One of the cities of Simeon, mentioned with Rimmen and Ashan (1 Chronicles 4:32). The name does not appear in Joshua's list (Joshua 19:7), but in that place the Septuagint gives Thokka, from which we may infer that the name has fallen out in the Hebrew. It is not identified.
