Mephaath

מוֹפַעַת , מֵיפַעַת

(mehf ay' ath) Place name meaning, “height.” Town in Reuben's tribal allotment (Joshua 13:18 ), assigned to the Levites (Joshua 21:37; 1 Chronicles 6:79 ). In Jeremiah's time the town was in Moabite hands (Jeremiah 48:21 ). The site is perhaps that of modern Jawah about six miles south of Amman.
