Hebrew: כְּסֻלּוֹת —transliteration: Kesulloth —meaning: fertile places; the loins —occurrences: 1 (Joshua 19:18 below)

This is a town of the Tribe of Issachar, located on the slopes of a mountain between Jezreel and Shunem and not far from Nazareth.

And their border was toward Jezreel, and Chesulloth, and Shunem, Joshua 19:18 KJV
