Bible Comments

And Dilean, and Mizpeh, and Joktheel, Dilean, х Dil`aan (H1810) gourd-field, or place of cucumbers; Septuagint, Dalad] - supposed by Van de Velde to be represented by the modern Tina, a small clay built village, bearing, however, many marks of antiquity.

Mizpeh, х ha-Mitspeh (H4708), the watch-tower; Septuagint, Masfa]. As it stands in this enumeration, its place must have been intermediate between Migdal-gad (Mejdel) and Lachish (um-Lakis). 'The southern part, of the Shephelah (says Porter) abounds in little tells, to any one of which the name of Mizpeh would be applicable.'

Joktheel, х Yaaqªtª'eel (H3371), subdued of God; Septuagint, Iachareeel]. Its site is unknown.
