Rakkath was one of Naphtali's fortified towns near the Sea of Galilee, later associated by tradition with Tiberias. It is important because it belongs to the defended northern settlement pattern around the lake. First appears in Josh 19:35.1
AI summary: Rakkath matters because the inheritance lists preserve actual fortified communities in the north rather than abstract territory alone. The place belongs to Naphtali's protected lake-region geography.1
Shore-town, a “fenced city” of the tribe of Naphtali (Josh. 19:35). The old name of Tiberias, according to the Rabbins. 3
