It is one of the towns listed as part of the inheritance of the tribe of Asher. The name "Amead" itself is not extensively detailed in biblical narratives, and its historical and geographical significance is primarily derived from its mention in the tribal boundaries.<br><br><b>Biblical Reference:</b><br><br>· <b><a href="/joshua/19-26.htm">Joshua 19:26</a> :</b> "Allammelech, Amad, and Mishal. On the west the border touched Carmel and Shihor-libnath."<br><br>In this passage, Amead is referred to as "Amad" in the Berean Standard Bible. It is listed among the towns that define the territorial boundaries of the tribe of Asher. The context suggests that Amead was situated in the northern part of ancient Israel, near the Mediterranean coast, as the boundary extends to Carmel and Shihor-libnath.<br><br><b>Historical and Geographical Context:</b><br><br>The tribe of Asher was one of the twelve tribes of Israel, descended from Asher, the eighth son of Jacob and Zilpah, Leah's maidservant. The territory allotted to Asher was known for its fertile land and olive groves, which is consistent with the blessings pronounced upon Asher by Jacob and Moses (<a href="/genesis/49-20.htm">Genesis 49:20</a>; <a href="/deuteronomy/33-24.htm">Deuteronomy 33:24</a>).<br><br>Amead's precise location is not definitively known today, and it does not appear prominently in other historical or archaeological records. However, its inclusion in the list of Asher's towns indicates its role in the tribal organization and settlement patterns during the period of the conquest and settlement of Canaan.<br><br><b>Theological Significance:</b><br><br>From a theological perspective, the mention of Amead, like other towns in the tribal allotments, underscores the fulfillment of God's promises to the patriarchs regarding the land of Canaan. The division of the land among the tribes of Israel is a testament to God's faithfulness and the realization of the covenantal promises made to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.<br><br>The allocation of specific towns and regions to each tribe also highlights the importance of land in the identity and heritage of the Israelite people. It served as a tangible expression of their relationship with God and their role as His chosen people in the Promised Land.<br><br><b>Conservative Christian Perspective:</b><br><br>From a conservative Christian viewpoint, the historical accounts of tribal allotments, including the mention of towns like Amead, are regarded as accurate and divinely inspired. These records are seen as integral to understanding the unfolding of God's redemptive plan through the history of Israel. The detailed descriptions of land boundaries and settlements are viewed as evidence of the Bible's historical reliability and the meticulous nature of God's provision for His people.<a name="cnc" id="cnc"></a><div class="vheading">Concordance</div><span class="encheading">Amead (1 Occurrence)</span><p><span class="rtext"><a href="/joshua/19-26.htm">Joshua 19:26</a></span><br />and Allammelech, and <span class="boldtext">Amead</span>, and Mishal; and the border reached to Carmel westwards, and to Shihor-libnath,<br /><span class="source">(DBY)</span><a name="thes" id="thes"></a><div class="vheading2">Thesaurus</div><a href="/topical/a/amead.htm"><span class="l"><b>Amead</b> (1 Occurrence)</span></a><br><b>...</b><b>Amead</b> (1 Occurrence).
