Naarah (2)
(נערה, na‛ărāh); Codex Vaticanus αι κῶμαι αὐτῶν, hai kṓmai autṓn; Codex Alexandrinus Νααραθά, Naarathá; the King James Version Naarath):
A town in the territory of Ephraim Joshua 16:7. It appears as “Naaran” in 1 Chronicles 7:28 (Codex Vaticanus Νααρνάν, Naarnán; Codex Alexandrinus Νααράν, Naarán). Eusebius, Onomasticon (s.v. “Noorath”) places it 5 Roman miles from Jericho. The name has not been recovered, and no identification is certain. The position would agree with that of el- ‛Aujeh, about 5 miles Northeast of Jericho.
