Misheal

Summary

A Levitical city in the territory of Asher, assigned to the Gershonite Levites.

Location

Misheal was located within the tribal territory of Asher (Joshua 19:26). The name appears in variant forms: Mishal (Joshua 21:30) and Mashal (1 Chronicles 6:74). Its precise location remains uncertain, though it was situated in the coastal region of northwestern Canaan allotted to Asher.

Levitical Assignment

When Joshua distributed cities to the Levites, Misheal was among those given to the children of Gershon from the tribe of Asher (Joshua 21:30). The Levites received forty-eight cities throughout Israel, ensuring their presence in every region. These cities served as centers of instruction in the law and proper worship.
