Subjects in this Topic:
(Heb. Mishal', îַùְׁàָì , prob. entreaty; Sept. ÌéóáëÜ ), a city of the tribe of Asher (Jos_19:26, where it is Anglicized “Misheal”), assigned to the Levites of the family of Gershom (Jos_21:30); elsewhere called MASHAL (1Ch_6:74). It is doubtless the Masan referred to by Eusebius (Onomast. s.v. ÌáóÜí ) as situated on the Mediterranean, near Carmel, a position with which the text (Jos_19:26) agrees (see Keil, Comment. ad loc.). It is probably the modern ruined village Misalli, near the shore about three miles north of Athlit (Van de Velde, Memoir, page 335).
