En-haddah

En-haddah ("swift spring") was a boundary point of Issachar's tribal inheritance named in Joshua 19:21 in the catalog of the sixteen cities of the tribe: "And Remeth, and En-gannim, and En-haddah, and Beth-pazzez." The town appears only in this single boundary list. The exact site is uncertain but lay in the Jezreel Valley, in the rich agricultural plain that made Issachar the breadbasket of the northern tribes. The "swift spring" name suggests a settlement built around a strong-flowing seasonal spring on the terraced hillsides above the valley floor.
