This occurs only in Gen. 35: 21, and signifies 'Tower of the flock.' Probably a tower built by the shepherds for the protection of their flocks. It was apparently a little south of Bethlehem. Jacob halted there with his flocks. The expression 'tower of the flock' occurs in Micah 4: 8 (Edar in the margin) as the stronghold of the daughter of
Zion.
