Michmethath (place name in Ephraim/Manasseh border)
A geographical landmark on the boundary between Ephraim and Manasseh, always appearing with the definite article. The location marked a significant point in tribal territory allocation but its precise identification remains uncertain. Modern scholars have proposed various khirbets (ruins) as candidates, but none definitively. The Septuagint's widely varying attempts to transliterate or interpret the name (Ikasmōn, Achthōth, Machthōth) reveal that ancient translators also found this place name challenging. Such lost toponyms remind us how much geographical knowledge has vanished.

1. sense 1 — A place name marking the boundary between Ephraimite and Manassite territory (Joshua 16:6; 17:7). Always appears with the definite article, suggesting it was a well-known landmark in the tribal period. The Septuagint's wildly varying transliterations indicate interpretive difficulty even in antiquity. Modern identification proposals include Khirbet kefr beita, though certainty eludes us. Cross-linguistic evidence shows direct transliteration (Michmethath, Micmetat), appropriately preserving the Hebrew toponym. 2×
