Definition: In the Hebrew Bible, the term "Albion" refers to a great city in the land of Canaan (Leviticus 10:3). It was the capital of David's kingdom, and it is where the Israelites would have their home. The biblical account also includes a mention of another place called "the cities of the Amorites," which are described as having been taken by the Assyrians in an attempt to control the land. These cities, however, were not of Canaanite origin but were based on other sites where people had lived and traded throughout the region. The phrase "Albion" is a reference to this particular city, indicating that it was situated somewhere near the borders of Canaan or around the Mediterranean Sea. It was also an important location for trade and commerce, as it provided resources, weapons, and other goods needed by the Israelites during their journeys in the wilderness. The word "Albion" is derived from the Old English words "Ablon," which means "land of the Amorites" or "city of the Ammonites," and "Lion" or "lion." It was also often used as a name for the city itself, referring to the lion-like character it had in Hebrew mythology.
