Subjects in this Topic:

mḗ-on´ṓ-thı̄, mḗ-ō´nṓ-thı̄, mē-ṓ-nō´thı̄ (מעונתי, me‛ōnōthai, “my dwellings”): A son of Othniel, nephew of Caleb (). Possibly, as the King James Version margin suggests, and the Vulgate (Jerome's Latin Bible, 390-405 A.D.) and Complutensian Septuagint say, , should read “the sons of Othniel, Hathath and Meonothai; and Meonothai begat Ophrah,” etc. The latter may be founder of the town of that name.
