Place
Japhia
town in Zebulun
A town on the southern border of Zebulun, named in the description of that tribe's allotment in Joshua.
Who or what is this?
Japhia is mentioned in 19:12 as a point on the southern boundary of the tribe of Zebulun, the border turning from and going out toward Japhia. Beyond this single reference to a boundary marker in the division of the land, no narrative events are associated with Japhia the town. A person named Japhia also appears in Joshua 10:3 and in the genealogy of 's sons (2 5:15), but those are distinct individuals and not related to this place.
