International Standard Bible Encyclopedia on Tochen
Tochen to'-ken (tokhen, "task," "measure"; Codex Vaticanus Thokka; Codex Alexandrinus Thochchan): One of the cities of Simeon, mentioned with Rimmen and Ashan (1Ch 4:32). The name does not appear in Joshua's list (Jos 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. ⇒See a list of verses on TOCHEN in the Bible. ⇒See also the McClintock and Strong Biblical Cyclopedia.
