Moladah, town in Simeon's territory
A settlement assigned to the tribe of Simeon (Joshua 19:2, 1 Chronicles 4:28), later reinhabited after the Babylonian exile (Nehemiah 11:26). Ancient geographers identified it with Tel Milh, located approximately four hours east of Beersheba in the Negev. The site appears to have maintained its name and identity across centuries, from the initial conquest through the restoration period, making it one of the more stable points in Simeon's otherwise fluid territorial holdings.
Senses
1. sense 1 — A proper name for a town in Simeon's allotment in the southern territory. The multilingual evidence preserves the name with minimal variation (Moladah, Molada, Moladá), consistent with its function as a geographical identifier. Its appearance in both early territorial lists and post-exilic settlement records suggests continuity of identification, if not necessarily continuous occupation. 4×
