Meconah light
Meconah, a town inhabited by the people of Judah after their return from the Babylonian exile (Nehemiah 11:28).
Where is Meconah in the Bible?
Meconah was a town in Judah that was resettled by the Jewish people following their return from Babylonian exile in the fifth century BCE. The town is mentioned only once in the Bible, in Nehemiah 11:28, where it appears in a list of settlements inhabited by the descendants of Judah after the exile. While the exact location of Meconah is not definitively identified in modern geography, it was situated in the territory of Judah in what is now Israel. The mention of Meconah in Nehemiah reflects the broader biblical narrative of Jewish restoration and the reestablishment of communities after the people's return from captivity under Persian rule.
