Humtah standard

Where is Humtah in the Bible?

Humtah is a town located in the hill country of Judah in ancient Israel, mentioned in the book of Joshua (15:54). It appears in a list of cities allocated to the tribe of Judah during the division of the Promised Land among the Israelites. The exact location of Humtah in modern-day Israel remains uncertain, though it was situated in the mountainous region of central Judah. While little is recorded about specific events occurring at Humtah, its inclusion in Joshua's census of Judahite cities reflects the comprehensive allocation of territories as Israel settled in Canaan following their exodus from Egypt.
