Informace ze slovníku
1. Syn Ghusův [Gn 10,7 ; 1Pa 1,9 ].
2. Syn Jektanův [Gn 10,29 ; 1Pa 1,23 ].
3. Krajina ve střední nebo jižní Arábii, obývaná Ghusity [Kušity] a Jektanovci původu semitského. Podle [Gn 2,11 - Gn 2,12 ], kde v českém textu je Hevilah, byla to krajina bohatá na zlato, vonnou pryskyřici a drahokamy. Zdá se, že arabská poušť do značné části měla jméno E. [1S 15,7 ; Gn 25,18 ]. Sousedila se zemí Ofir [1Kr 10,11 ].

Havilah
the sand region.
(1.) A land mentioned in (Gen 2:11 ) rich in gold and bdellium and onyx stone. The question as to the locality of this region has given rise to a great diversity of opinion. It may perhaps be identified with the sandy tract which skirts Babylonia along the whole of its western border, stretching from the lower Euphrates to the mountains of Edom.
(2.) A district in Arabia-Felix. It is uncertain whether the tribe gave its name to this region or derived its name from it, and whether it was originally a Cushite (Gen 10:7 ) or a Joktanite tribe [(Gen 10:29 ); comp. (Gen 25:18 )], or whether there were both a Cushite and a Joktanite Havilah. It is the opinion of Kalisch, however, that Havilah "in both instances designates the same country, extending at least from the Persian to the Arabian Gulf, and on account of its vast extent easily divided into two distinct parts." This opinion may be well vindicated.
(3.) One of the sons of Cush (Gen 10:7 ).
(4.) A son of Joktan (Gen 10:29 ; 1Chr 1:23).
