Huqoq or Hukkok ((ヘブライ語:חוקוק)) was an ancient Jewish village, located 12.5 km north of Tiberias. The area had been settled since ancient times and is mentioned in the Book of Joshua. Arab village Yaquq was built at Huqoq's location, and kibbutz named Hukok was established near the site on 11 July 1945.〔 ==History== The village site was inhabited in the Early and Middle Bronze Age.〔 The Canaanites called it Hukkok, and during the Roman period it was known as Hucuca.〔Conder and Kitchener, 1881, SWP I, p.(420 )〕〔Khalidi, 1992, p.546〕 Hukkok (Hebrew חקק) is mentioned in the Bible in Josh. 19.34.〔〔International Standard Bible Encyclopaedia "Hukkok: huk’-ok (chuqqoq): A town on the border of Naphtali named with Aznoth-tabor (Jos 19:34). It is usually identified with the village of Yaquq, 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."〕 Archaeological investigations at the site of the former village of Yaquq, located near the Sea of Galilee, 12.5 km north of Tiberias, uphill from Capernaum and Magdala,〔"(Kitchens on the Cutting Edge )", Paul V. M. Flesher, June 28, 2012, University of Wyoming News,〕 suggest that it was inhabited in the Iron Age, Persian, Hellenistic, Roman, Byzantine, Abbasid, Fatimid, Mamluk and Ottoman periods.〔(Settlement and History in Hellenistic, Roman, and Byzantine Galilee: An Archaeological Survey of the Eastern Galilee ), Leibner, 2009, p. 151.〕〔 The Roman period village was large and prosperous due to the presence of a constant spring.〔 Archaeologist Jodi Magness told Science News that the "high artistic quality and the tiny size of the mosaic cubes,... together with the monumental size of the stones used to construct the synagogue’s walls, suggest a high level of prosperity in this village, as the building clearly was very costly.”〔(Remains of Roman Period Synagogue Discovered in Galilee ), July 2, 2012, Science News〕 The prosperity of the ancient village contrasts with the simplicity of the Ottoman era settlement and can be seen by archaeologists in animal bones which were cut by professional butchers in the ancient Jewish village, and by farmers in the Muslim period.〔 It is apparent from both the synagogue and the absence of pork bones that the Roman period village was Jewish.〔 "The ancient village is surrounded by associated features, including cist graves, rock-cut tombs, a mausoleum, quarries, agricultural terraces and installations, a winepress and an olive press. Two large miqwa’ot (ritual baths) are hewn into bedrock on the eastern and southern periphery of the ancient village (see below)."〔 The village is attested in Late Roman and Byzantine period rabbinic sources.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Huqoq」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
