Where is Neah in the Bible?
Neah, also called Neiel, was a border town in ancient Israel located in the northern region between the territories of Zebulun and Asher. According to Joshua 19:27, it served as a boundary marker for these tribal lands during the period of territorial division following the conquest of Canaan. The town was situated in northern Galilee, probably lying north of Rimmon and approximately four miles northeast of what is now Seffuriyeh. While the exact archaeological site has not been definitively identified, the general location in the Galilean hill country has been established through scholarly research. Neah's mention in scripture reflects the careful delineation of tribal boundaries that was essential to Israel's settlement and organization in the Promised Land.
