Hukkok
Hukkok
(Hebrew Chukkok’, , incised; Sept. 5. r. ,Vulg. Hucusa), a town on the border of Naphtali, near Zebulon, not far from Jordan, west of Aznoth-Tabor, and in the direction of Asher (Jos 19:34); elsewhere written HUKOK (, Chukok’, 1Ch 6:75; Sept. ,.Vulg. Hucac); but probably, in this latter passage, erroneously for HELKATH (Jos 21:35; comp. Jos 19:25). Eusebius and Jerome (Onomast. s.v. Icoc), as well as Benj. of Tudela (2, 421), allude to it. It is doubtless identical with the modern small village Yakuk, between the plain of Genesareth and Safed (Robinson’s Researches, 3 App. p. 133; Biblioth. Sac. 1843, p. 80), said to contain the grave of Habakkuk (see new edit. of Researches, 3, 81; and comp. Schwarz, Palestine, p. 182).

Hukkok (2)
Yakuk, the modern representation of this site, is laid down on the Ordnance Map three and three quarter miles north-west of the shore of the Sea of Galilee (from Khan Minveh), and is described in the accompanying Memoirs (1:364, 420) as a “stone-built village, containing about two hundred Moslems; surrounded by arable land, and situated at the foot of a hill. There is a good spring, and many cisterns are found in the village. Guerin says that, in 1875, the village was reduced to about twenty houses. There are traces of ancient remains at this village, and a rockcut birkeh [pool] with steps leading down to it, also cut out of the rock.”

Hukkok
hukok (, hukkok): A town on the border of Naphtali named with Aznoth-tabor (Jos 19:34). It is usually identified with the village of yakuk, which stands on the West of Wady el-Amud, to the Northwest of Gennesaret, about 4 miles from the sea. This would fall on the boundary of Zebulun and Naphtali, between Tabor and Hannathon (Jos 19:14). The identification may be correct; but it seems too far from Tabor.
