Naarath
Or rather Na’arah (Heb. Nad’rah’, , girl, as in NAARAH; with local ; Sept. v.r. ; Vulg. Naarathe, Auth. Vers. “to Naarath”), a town on the boundary between Benjamin and Ephraim, between Ataroth and Jericho (Jos 16:7); elsewhere called NAARAN (1Ch 7:28); probably the Nos-orth () of Eusebius (Onomast. s.v.), five miles from Jericho, and, according to Reland (Palaest. page 903, 907), identical with the Areara () of Josephus (Ant. 17:13. 1); and possibly with the Nooran () of the rabbins (Vaijikra Raboat, 23). Schwarz (Palest. pages 147, 169) fixes it at “Neama,” also “five miles from Jericho,” meaning perhaps Nuawaimeh, the name of the lower part of the great Vady Mutyah, or el-Asas, which runs from the foot of the hill of Rummon into the Jordan valley above Jerichlo, and in a direction generally parallel to the Wadv Suweinit (Robinson, Bib. Res. 3:290). It was probably in the vicinity of one of the strong springs along the edge of the hills north of Jericho, such as Ain-Duk, Ras el-Ain, etc.; perhaps at the “high, conical mountain” called et-NVejinen (Robinson, Later Bibl. Res. page 202). SEE THIBE.

Naarath
Na’arath. (juvenile). (The Hebrew is equivalent to Naarah, which is, therefore, the real form of the name.) A place named in Jos 16:7 only, as one of the landmarks on the southern boundary of Ephraim. It appears to have lain between Ataroth and Jericho, in the Jordan valley: Eusebius and Jerome speak of it as if well known to them — “Naorath, a small village of the Jews, five miles from Jericho.”
