Jiphthah-El

2 verses

Joshua

And the border compasseth it on the north side to Hannathon: and the outgoings thereof are in the valley of Jiphthahel:

And turneth toward the sunrising to Bethdagon, and reacheth to Zebulun, and to the valley of Jiphthahel toward the north side of Bethemek, and Neiel, and goeth out to Cabul on the left hand,

From Smith's Bible Dictionary

William Smith, 1884

(which God opens), The valley of, a valley which served as one of the landmarks for the boundary of both Zebulun, (Joshua 19:14) and Asher. (Joshua 19:27) Dr. Robinson suggests that Jiphthah-el was identical with Jotapata, and that they survive in the modern Jefat , a village in the mountains of Galilee, halfway between the Bay of Accre and the Lake of Gennesareth.
