MINNITH marks the direction in which Jephthah pursued the defeated Ammonites from Aroer ( Judges 11:33 ), i.e . ‘Aroer which is in front of Rabbah’ ( Joshua 13:25 ). The site has not been recovered. That indicated in the Onomasticon , 4 miles from Heshbon on the way to Philadelphia, seems too far to the south. The place appears to have been famous for the high quality of its wheat ( Ezekiel 27:17 , cf. 2 Chronicles 27:5 ). It must be added that in both passages there are strong reasons for suspecting the correctness of the text.

W. Ewing.
