A town situated, according to Joshua 15:61, in the wilderness of Judah. It was a border-town between Judah and Benjamin, and hence is credited to the former (Josh. ib.); while in Joshua 18:22 it is enumeratedamong the towns of Benjamin. Lying to the south of Beth-hoglah in the Jericho plain, indications point to its identification with the modern 'Ain al-Feshkha, as proposed by the late Robertson Smith. In Joshua 18:18 the name is given as "Arabah."
