(Heb. Lakkum’, , according to Gesenius, way-stopper, i.e. fortified place; Sept. v. r. and , Vulg. Lecum), a place on the northeastern border of Naphtali, mentioned after Jabneel in the direction of the Jordan (Jos 19:33), and therefore probably situated not far south of Lake Merom. ”he Talmud (Megilloth, lxx, 1) speaks of a Lakium (), perhaps the same place (see Reland, Palest. p. 875). The site of Lakkum is possibly indicated by the ruins marked on Van de Velde’s Map adjoining a small pool east of Tell-Akbarcth and south-east of Safed.<\/p>\n
This site Trelawney Saunders (Map of the O.T.) confounds with that of Adam, locating it at Damieh; perhaps from misunderstanding the ambiguous language of Tristram (Bible Places, page 278), who thinks that “Lakum may be traced in Kefr Kanua,” which is laid down on the Ordnance Map at two and a quarter miles southwest of Damieh, and eight miles west from the south end of the Sea of Galilee. The accompanying Memoirs (1:391) say of it: “There are ruins in this village, and portions of fine limestone columns, but no capitals. There is also a circular basalt olive- press and cisterns.”<\/p>\n
(“stopping the way”.) On Naphtali’s boundary, between Jabneel and Jordan (Jos 19:33). E. Wilton makes Lakum to be E. of Jordan; for Deu 33:23, “possess thou “the sea” (yam) and the sunny district” (Speaker’s Commentary Darom, E. Wilton “the circuit”), may imply, Naphtali possessed the entire basin, shut in by mountains, which contained the upper Jordan and lakes Merom and Tiberius. Josephus says Naphtali included the eastern parts. Tubariyeh (Tiberius) includes the E. as well as W. of the lake. E. Wilton identifies Lakum with Arkub E. of the lake. The meaning of Lakum accords, rugged rocks stopping the way along the S.E. shore. However, Lt. Conder identifies Lakum with Kefr Kama (Palestine Exploration Quarterly Statement, January, 1878, p. 19).<\/p>\n
