Locations

Hebron or الخليل al-Khalīl / خَلِيل الرَّحْمَن Khalīl al-Raḥmān is an ancient city in the West Bank of Palestine. The name al-Khalīl derives from the Qur'anic epithet for Abraham, Khalil al-Rahman (إبراهيم خليل الرحمن) "Beloved of the Merciful" or "Friend of God". The name "Hebron" appears to trace back to two northwest Semitic languages, which coalesce in the form ḥbr, having reflexes in Hebrew and Amorite, with a basic sense of 'unite' and connoting a range of meanings from "colleague" to "friend". Arabic Al-Khalil thus precisely translates the ancient Hebrew toponym Ḥebron, understood as ḥaḇer (friend).
