Heleph
Heleph
(Heb. Che’leph, , an exchange, as in Num 18:21; Num 18:31; Sept. joins’ with prefixed preposition ; Vulg. Heleph), a city mentioned apparently as the starting-point of the northern border of Naphtali, beginning at the west (Jos 19:33). Van de Velde thinks it may be the same with Beit-lf, a village with ancient remains (comp. Robinson, Later Researches, p. 61, 62), nearly due east of the Ras Abyad, and west of Kades, on the S. edge of a very marked ravine (wady el-Ayun), which probably formed part of the boundary between Naphtali and Asher (Van de Velde, Syria, 1 233); nor is the objection of Keil (Comment. ad loc.), that the position is represented as being at the intersection of the northern border of Palestine with the eastern line of Asher, altogether correct, since several of the associated names are likewise somewhat interior.

Of Beit-Lif, which is now generally accepted as the modern representative of this place, the following is the description in the Memoirs (1:201.) accompanying the Ordnance Survey: “A village built of stone, containing about one hundred and fifty Moslems (Guerin says eighty Metawileh), situated on a hill-top, with a few olives and arable land. Two cisterns and a birket (pool) near by supply the water.”
