Jagur

“Place of sojourn, or lodging”
☩Location
Jagur was a city on the south or Edomite border of Judah, mentioned between Eder and Kinah in Joshua 15:21. Its name might indicate it was one of the fortified camping-grounds of the border Arabs. The position can only be conjectured as not very far from the Dead Sea, possibly situated in Wady Jurrah which runs into the southwest end of the Dead Sea. It was not mentioned among the towns specifically set apart for Simeon, though it probably was one of them.
