Where is Heleph in the Bible?
Heleph was a town in northern Israel that served as a boundary marker for the territory of the tribe of Naphtali, as recorded in Joshua 19:33. Located in the region of Galilee in what is today northern Israel, Heleph marked the eastern border of Naphtali's tribal lands. Though little is known about the town itself beyond its geographical significance, its mention in Scripture underscores the careful delineation of tribal territories during Israel's settlement of Canaan after the exodus from Egypt. The precise location of ancient Heleph remains uncertain to modern scholars, though it was situated somewhere in the upper Galilee region near the Sea of Galilee.
