👉 In the Bible, "Harrington" refers to a place or location that was occupied by the Jews during their wanderings in the wilderness of Canaan. The word originally referred to a man who had taken on an occupation or position, but later it became used for a place where one lived. In the NT, this term is often used metaphorically to refer to a place of refuge or comfort. For instance, Paul's letter to the Philippians suggests that Christians are to be like "Harringtons" in Christ, seeking God's peace and comfort under persecution.
