(Heb. Maarath’, , desolation; Sept. , Vulg. Mareth), a place in the mountains of Judah, mentioned between Gedor and Beth-anoth (Jos 15:59). De Saulcy suggests a place which he calls Kharbet el- Merassas, south-east of Jerusalem (Narrative, 2:17); and Schwarz declares it is a village called Magr, west of Ekron (Palest. page 107): both far from the indications of the text, which require a locality north of Hebron (Keil’s Comment. ad loc.). It may be represented by the ruins marked as Mersia on Van de Velde’s Map (1858), on the road room Hebron to Bethlehem, about half way between Bereikut and Solomon’s Pools, at Urtas; but on the second edition of his Map (1865) this place disappears, and we have in the required region unappropriated only the ruins Merina, on a little stream just north of Kufin, evidently the “ruined tower called Merrina, seen by him on the high ground south of wady Arub” (Memoir, page 247).<\/p>\n
For this site Mr. Tyrwhitt Drake proposes (Quar. Statement of the “Pal. Explor. Fund,” April 1874, page 76) the Mons Mardes where St. Euthymius found ruins (Acta Sanctorum, 2:306), now Khirbet Mird, near Mar Saba, on a round, isolated hill, containing the remains of an aqueduct, wells, and cisterns (Memoirs to the Ordnance Survey, 3:212); but Lieut. Conder suggests (Quar. Statement, January 1875, page 13) an ancient site near Beit Ainum, where a valley has the corresponding Arabic name, Wady el-Moghair. This latter ruin is laid down on the Ordnance Map, two miles north-east of Hebron, without any name attached. Later, however, Lieut. Conder suggests (Tent Work, 2:338) Beit Ummar, six miles north of Hebron, probably the Betumair of Eusebius (Onomast. s.v. Baalthamar). It is “a small but conspicuous village, standing on the watershed, and visible from some distance on the north. An ancient road passes through it. Halfa mile north-east is a good spring, Ain Kufin. The mosque has a small tower to it. The surrounding neighborhood is covered with brushwood” (Memoirs to Ordnance Survey, 3:303).<\/p>\n

The small village of Beit Ummar upon the watershed, a little to the West of the carriage road to Hebron and about a mile from Khirbet Jedur (Gedor), is a probable site. There are many rock tombs to its East. The village mosque is dedicated to Nebi Matta, i.e. Matthew. See PEF, III, 305, Sh XXI.<\/p>\n [Ma’arath]<\/p>\n City in the hill country of Judah. Jos 15:59.
