And Jehud, and Bene-berak, and Gath-rimmon,
45. Jehud ] may, it is thought, be still traced in the village of El-Yehudiyeh in the district of Lydda. Robinson’s Bib. Res. iii. 45. Bene-berak has not been identified; Gath-rimmon we find (ch. Jos 21:24) given to the Levites, but the site is unknown.

And Jehud,…. Of Jehud no mention is made elsewhere;
and Beneberak signifies sons of lightning; see Mr 3:17. Jerom x speaks of tills as the name of two places, Bane in the tribe of Dan, and Barach in the same tribe, and which was in his day near Azotus. This place was famous in later times among the Jews for being a place where one of their noted Rabbins, R. Akiba, abode and taught for some time y:
and Gathrimmon was in Jerom’s z time a very large village, twelve miles from Diospolis, or Lydda, as you go from Eleutheropolis to it; it was a city given to the Levites, Jos 21:24.
