Nekeb; a location on the border of Naphtali's territory, possibly a mountain pass
This place name appears in Joshua 19:33 as 'Adami-nekeb,' a border point in Naphtali's tribal allotment. The Septuagint treats it as two locations (Arme and Nabek) or transliterates as Ademmhe annekb. The term nekeb may mean 'pass' or 'perforation,' suggesting a mountain passage or gap—Arabic نَقْبٌ refers to a road between mountains. If so, the name describes a strategic pass through Naphtali's hill country. The dual nature of the name (Adami-nekeb) suggests either a compound name or two adjacent locations, one involving a notable mountain pass.

1. sense 1 — A place name in Naphtali's territory, appearing as 'Adami-nekeb' in the boundary list of Joshua 19:33. The term may derive from a root meaning 'piercing' or 'pass,' suggesting a geographical feature like a mountain gap. The Arabic cognate referring to mountain roads supports this interpretation. Transliteration varies in translations ('Neqev'/'Nekeb'), reflecting the proper name's preservation rather than translation of its possible etymological meaning. 1×
