Halak

Smith’s Bible Dictionary (1863)

(smooth), The mount, a mountain twice, and twice only, named, was the southern limit of Joshua’s conquests, (Joshua 11:17; 12:7) but which has not yet been identified.

Easton’s Bible Dictionary (1897)

Smooth; bald, a hill at the southern extremity of Canaan (Josh. 11:17). It is referred to as if it were a landmark in that direction, being prominent and conspicuous from a distance. It has by some been identified with the modern Jebel el-Madura, on the south frontier of Judah, between the south end of the Dead Sea and the Wady Gaian.
