Its exact location is uncertain, but it is believed to be in the lowland region of Judah, known as the Shephelah. This area was significant for its fertile land and strategic position between the coastal plains and the hill country. The mention of Iphtah highlights the comprehensive nature of the land distribution among the tribes of Israel, fulfilling God's promise to Abraham regarding the land (<a href="/genesis/15-18.htm">Genesis 15:18-21</a>).<p><b>Ashnah</b><br>Ashnah is another town in the territory of Judah. There are two locations named Ashnah mentioned in the Bible, one in the lowlands and another in the hill country. The Ashnah referred to here is likely in the lowlands, emphasizing the diversity of the land given to Judah, which included both fertile plains and rugged hills. This allocation reflects the varied responsibilities and opportunities for the tribe, as they were to cultivate the land and defend it from surrounding nations.<p><b>Nezib</b><br>Nezib, also in the lowland region of Judah, is identified with the modern site of Beit Nattif. This town's inclusion in the list underscores the detailed record-keeping of the Israelites as they settled in the Promised Land. Nezib's location would have been important for trade and agriculture, contributing to the economic stability of the tribe of Judah. The careful documentation of these towns serves as a testament to God's faithfulness in providing for His people and establishing them in the land He promised.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/i/iphtah.htm">Iphtah</a></b><br>A town in the territory of Judah, mentioned in the context of the allotment of land to the tribe of Judah.
