Where it appears

Joshua · 1

  1. Joshua 19:33 מֵֽאֵל֜וֹן from [the] great tree

    Their border started at Heleph and the great tree of Zaanannim, passing Adami-nekeb and Jabneel as far as Lakkum and ending at the Jordan.

    Here: "From the great tree." This is a landmark tree, and the repeated "from" places it alongside Heleph or more closely defines it. The KJV and YLT read it as a place name, "Allon."

1 Chronicles · 1

    and Ziza son of Shiphi (son of Allon, son of Jedaiah, son of Shimri, son of Shemaiah).
