Aphekah

Aphekah is a city assigned to the tribe of Judah, listed among the towns of the mountainous district in the territorial allotment recorded in Joshua 15. It appears in company with Janim and Beth-tappuah: "and Janim, and Beth-tappuah, and Aphekah" (Jos 15:53).

Location in Judah's Hill Country

The city is part of the highland district of Judah enumerated in Joshua 15, a catalogue that traces the boundaries and settlements given to that tribe in the division of Canaan. Aphekah is mentioned only in this list; no further narrative detail attaches to it in the UPDV text.
