Beth-emek, a town on Asher's border (possibly modern 'Amka)
Joshua 19:27 includes Beth-emek in the boundary description for Asher, meaning 'house of the valley.' It's been tentatively identified with modern 'Amka, about seven miles northeast of Acco. The name straightforwardly describes a settlement in a valley, typical of Asher's coastal plain and hill country territory. No other biblical references to this town exist, but its inclusion in the detailed boundary list confirms it was a recognizable landmark in northern Israel.

1. sense 1 — Joshua 19:27's 'Beth-emek' (בֵּית הָעֵמֶק) marks a point on Asher's eastern boundary, meaning 'house/valley of the valley.' Translations preserve the name (Spanish 'Bet-emec,' English 'Beth-emek'). The proposed identification with 'Amka northeast of Acco fits the geographic context of Asher's inheritance. The descriptive name ('valley-house') suggests a settlement notable for its topographical setting rather than any particular historical event. 1×
