Subjects in this Topic:
MISREPHOTH-MAIM.—From the Waters of Merom the defeated Canaanites fled to Great Zidon, and unto Misrephoth-maim (Jos_11:8). It marks the S. boundary of the Zidonians, who had not been driven out by Joshua (Jos_13:6). The Ladder of Tyre formed a natural limit to the territory of the Zidonians. On the slope of Ras en-Naqûrah, the most southerly of the promontories forming the ‘Ladder,’ is found a site called Musheirifeh, which Thomson (LB [Note: B The Land and the Book.] ) with great probability identifies with Misrephoth-maim.
