Nekeb
Nekeb
(Heb. id., but only with the art., ; Sept. , v.r. , ; Vulg. quce est Neceb), given in our version as one of the towns on the boundary of Naphtali (Jos 19:33 only), apparently between Adam and Jabneel. A great number of commentators, from Jonathan the Targumist and Jerome (Vulgate as above) to Keil (Josua, ad loc.), have taken this name as being connected with the preceding Adami-han-Nekeb (i.e., Adami [of] the Cavern) (so Junius and Tremellius, “Adamoei fossa”); and indeed this is the force of the accentuation of the present Hebrew text. But on the other hand the Sept. gives the two as distinct, and in the Talmud the post-biblical names of each are given, that of han-Nekeb being Tsiadathah ( Genma, Gem Cara Hieros. Cod. Megilla, in Reland, Palest. pages 545, 717, 817; also Schwarz, Palestine, page 181). Of this more modern name Schwarz suggests that a trace is to be found in “Hazedhi, three English miles N. from al-Chatti.” Hackett suggests Neckev, near Ramah, on the road to Akka (Illust. of Script. page 240). Both these suggestions, however, are superfluous. SEE ADAMI.

Nekeb (2)
For this place Lieut. Conder suggests (Tent Work, 2:339) the present Khurbet Seyadeh, four miles south-west of Tiberias, described in the Memoirs accompanying the Ordnance Survey (1:405) as “ruined Arab houses, all basaltic and apparently modern. Tristram states (Bible Places, page 278), “But a far more satisfactory identification has been recently discovered in Nakib a site in the Ard el-Hamma, the plain between “Tabor and the sea of Galilee.” This is precisely the situation of Seyadeh, but the name Nakib does not appear there on the Ordnance Map.

Nekeb
nekeb: This name occurs only in combination with Adami ( , ‘adham ha-nekebh, Adami of the pass); Septuagint reads the names of two places: , ka Arme ka Nabok (B); , ka Arma ka Nakeb (Jos 19:33), so we should possibly read Adami and Nekeb. Neubauer says (Geog. du Talmud, 225) that later the name of Nekeb was Ciyadathah. It may therefore be represented by the modern Seiyadeh, not far from ed-Damieh to the East of Tabor, about 4 miles Southwest of Tiberias. The name of Nekeb, a town in Galilee, appears in the list of Thothmes III.
