tō´ken ( תּכן , tōkhen , "task," "measure"; Codex Vaticanus Θόκκα , Thókka ; Codex Alexandrinus Θόχχαν , Thóchchan ): One of the cities of Simeon, mentioned with Rimmen and Ashan ( 1 Chronicles 4:32 ). The name does not appear in Joshua's list ( Joshua 19:7 ), but in that place the Septuagint gives Thokka, from which we may infer that the name has fallen out in the Hebrew. It is not identified.

(Heb. To'ken, תֹּכֵן , Task Or Measure [as in Ezekiel 5:18; 45:11]; Sept. Θοκκάν v.r. Θοχχάν ; Vulg. Thochen ) , one of the towns in the tribe of Simeon ( 1 Chronicles 4:32); probably the same elsewhere ( Joshua 15:24) called TELEM (See Telem) (q.v.) or Telaim ( 1 Samuel 15:4).
