Ummah
Ummah
(Heb. Ummah’, , union, as often; Sept. v.r. or ,Vulg. Almma), a town of the tribe of Asher, mentioned between Achzib and Aphek (Jos 19:30). Its site was evidently unknown to Eusebius and Jerome (Onomast. s.v. Amma). Dr. Thomson suggests (Bibliotheca Sacra, 1855,’ p. 822) that it may be the modern village Aolam, situated on the coast about five miles E.N.E. of Ras en-Nakurahi and described by him as a large ruin with excellent water and fig- trees.(Land and Book, 2, 156). The Kefr Ammieih suggested by Keil (Comment. ad loc.) is quite beyond the boundaries of the tribe.

Ummah (2)
is probably the present Alma esh-Shaub, two and a half miles south-east of en-Nakuerah (near the promontory of the same name), described in the Memoirs to the Ordnance Survey, 1:150, as “A large Christian village, containing about five hundred inhabitants. The houses are clean and well built. There are two chapels, and the place seems increasing in size. It is situated on a ridge, with figs, olives, pomegranates, and arable land around. To the east and north the land is covered with brushwood. There is a spring within reach, and about thirty rock-cut cisterns in the village.”

Ummah
uma (, ummah; , Archob, , Amma): One of the cities allotted to the tribe of Asher (Jos 19:30). By a slight emendation of the text it would read Acco, the name of the place subsequently known as Ptolemais, the modern Akka. This emendation is generally adopted by scholars, although it is at best a conjecture. No other identification is yet possible.
