Meconah

Places · Updated 2026-05-08

Meconah is a town in Judah resettled after the return from Babylonian exile. Nehemiah 11:28 lists it among the villages where returnees lived: "and in Ziklag, and in Meconah and in its towns." UPDV uses this spelling throughout.

Meconah appears in a section cataloguing the towns of Judah repopulated during the Persian period (Ne 11:25–30). Its precise location is unknown; it is mentioned only in this single verse in the UPDV text.
