Haluza ({{lang-ar|الخلصة}}; {{lang-he-n|חלוצה}}), also known as Halasa, Chellous (Χελλοὺς in Greek, although in the 6th-century Madaba Map the town appears as ΕΛΟΥϹΑ), Elusa, al-Khalasa and al-Khalūṣ (Arabic), is a city in the Negev, Israel, that was once part of the Nabataean Incense Route. Due to its historic importance, UNESCO declared Haluza a World Heritage Site along with Mamshit, Avdat and Shivta.

Name

{{primary|section|date=March 2019}}

In Saadia Gaon's Judeo-Arabic translation of the Pentateuch, the biblical town of Gerar is associated with Haluza (Judeo-Arabic: {{Hebrew|'אלכ'לוץ}} = al-Khalūṣ).[1]

The city is called 'Chellous' (Χελλοὺς) in the Greek text of Judith, i, 9. It is also mentioned by Ptolemy[2] as being in Idumaea, Peutinger's Table, Stephanus Byzantius (as being formerly in the province of Arabia Petraea, now in Palaestina Tertia), Jerome,[3] the pilgrim Theodosius, Antoninus of Piacenza, and Joannes Moschus.[4]

Jerome's life of St. Hilarion mentions a great temple of Aphrodite in Elusa in the 4th century.[5] Hilarion is supposed to have introduced Christianity to Elusa in the fourth century.[6]Early in the following century, a Bishop of Elusa, after redeeming the son of Nilus of Sinai, who had been carried off from Mount Sinai by the Arabs, ordained both him and his father.[7] Other bishops known are Theodulus, 431; Aretas, 451; Peter, 518; and Zenobius, 536.[8]

History

The ruins of Halusa are located in a large plain nineteen miles southwest of Beersheba, Israel. Many inscriptions have been found there.[9] In the vicinity, according to the Targums, was the desert of Sur with the well at which the angel found Hagar (Genesis 16:7). (See Revue Biblique, 1906, 597).

Archaeological surveys of the area are partly hampered by the presence of shifting sands. However, Nabataean streets have been found, along with two churches, a theatre, wine press and tower.[10]

The bishopric of Elusa is included in the Catholic Church's list of titular sees.[11]

In March 2019, a team of German and Israeli archaeologists announced the discovery of a 1,700-year-old Greek inscription, bearing the name of the city of Elusa.[12]

By analysing rubbish removed from the city, it has been determined that it underwent a major decline around the middle of the sixth century, about a century before the Islamic conquest.[13] The excavators propose that their findings call for a reevaluation of the settlement history of the Negev region in the late Byzantine period.[13]
