Occurrences Joshua 13:4 on the south; all the land of the Canaanites, and Mearah that belongs to the Sidonians, to Aphek, to the border of the Amorites;Encyclopedia MEARAHme-a'-ra (me`arah; omitted in the Septuagint): A town or district mentioned only in Joshua 13:4, as belonging to the Zidonians. The name as it stands means "cave." If that is correct it may be represented by the modern village Mogheiriyeh, "little cave," not far from Sidon.

Septuagint reads "from Gaza"; but Gaza is obviously too far to the South. Strong's Hebrew H4632: Mearaha cave region in Lebanon |
