Where is Naphath in the Bible?

Naphath was a region located within the tribal territory of Issachar in ancient Israel, though it contained towns that actually belonged to the tribe of Manasseh. This geographical arrangement reflected the complex distribution of tribal lands in the Promised Land following Israel's conquest under Joshua. The region is mentioned in the book of Joshua as part of the detailed account of how the land was divided among the twelve tribes. Naphath's mixed ownership between Issachar's territory and Manassite towns illustrates how tribal boundaries in ancient Israel sometimes overlapped or contained enclaves belonging to different tribes.
