Subjects in this Topic:
(Heb., Anacharath', àֲðָçֲøָú , pass, Furst; Sept. Á᾿íá÷åñÝè , Vulg. Anaharath), a town on or within the border of Issachar, mentioned between Shihon and Rabbith (Jos_19:19). Its site was apparently unknown in the time of Eusebius and Jerome (Onomast. s.v. Á᾿íÝñè , Anerith). It was, perhaps, in the northern part of the tribe, possibly at Meskarah, where there are ruins (Van de Velde, Map).
Anaharath
Tristram suggests (Bible Places, p. 238) that this place is represented by the modern En-Naurah, situated on the southern slope of the range of Jebel ed-Duby, or “Little Hermon” (Robinson, Later Researches, p. 339); a suggestion already made by Lieut. Conder (Tent Work, 2, 334). But it is difficult to run the boundary of Issachar.so as to include this spot, and yet exclude the site of En-dor (if the latter be required by Joshuah 17:11).
