Chesil
Chesil
(Hebrews Kesil, , a fool, i.e. profane, as in Psa 49:11, and elsewhere; Sept. v. r. and ; Vulg. Cesil), a town in the extreme south of Palestine, named between Eltolad and Hormah (Jos 15:30). In the list of towns given out of Judah to Simeon, the name BETHUL SEE BETHUL (q.v.) occurs in place of it (Jos 19:4), as if the one were identical with, or a corruption of, the other. This is confirmed by the reading of 1Ch 4:30, BETHUEL; by that of the Sept. as given above, and by the mention in 1Sa 30:27, of a BETHEL among the cities of the extreme south. It is merely mentioned by Eusebius and Jerome in the Onomasticon (s.v. , Chisil). SEE URION.

Chesil
CHESIL (Jos 15:30).The LXX [Note: Septuagint.] reads Bethel, probably for Bethul, as in the parallel passage, Jos 19:4, and Chesil of MT [Note: Massoretic Text.] is prob. a textual error.

kesil, kesil (, kesl; A, , Chaser): A town in the extreme South of Judah named with Eltolad, Hormah and Ziklag (Jos 15:30). The name does not occur again. In Jos 19:4 it is replaced by Bethul (Septuagint , Baithel), and in 1Ch 4:30 by Bethuel. Chesil may have arisen from a misreading of the text.
