Meaning

Judah at (upon) the Jordan (yehudhah ha-yarden): A place marking the eastern limit of the territory of Naphtali (Jos 19:34). It is generally thought among scholars that the text is corrupt; but no very probable emendation has been suggested. Thomson (L B, II, 466) proposes to identify it with Seiyid Jehuda, a small white-domed sanctuary about 3 miles to the Southeast of Tell el-Qady.
