Joshua 15:53

And Janum, and Bethtappuah, and Aphekah,

Janum, х Yaaniym (H3241), Janim (chet, in the Hebrew text); Septuagint, Iemain; Alexandrian, Anoum (Tischendorf's manuscripts)] - unknown.

Beth-tappuah, х Beeyt-Tapuwach (H1054), house of the citron or the apple; Septuagint, Baithachou; Alexandrian, Beththapfoue] - now Teffuh (Robinson's 'Biblical Researches,' 2:, p. 428; Porters 'Handbook,' p.

259); situated 1 hour 45 minutes, or about 5 miles, west from Hebron. 'It appears an old village on a high and broad ridge. It contains a good number of inhabitants, and lies in the midst of olive-groves and vineyards, with marks of industry and thrift on every side. Indeed, many of the former terraces along the hill-sides are still in use; and the land looks somewhat as it may have done in ancient times. Several portions of walls, apparently those of an old fortress, are visible among the houses, and seem to attest the antiquity of the place.'

Aphekah, [Septuagint, Fakoua].
