Cultural and Historical Background: Yoqtheel is mentioned in the context of the territorial allotments in the land of Judah. It is a city located in the southern part of the tribal inheritance of Judah. The name reflects the ancient Israelite belief in God's sovereignty and the importance of obedience to divine will. The city is also associated with the conquest narratives, where the Israelites, under divine guidance, took possession of the land.
