TAPPUAH
TAPPUAH or BETH-TAPPUAH, a city in Palestine, upon the mountains of Judah, not far from Hebron, which Robinson identifies with the ancient village of
Teffûh, lying in the midst of olivegroves and vineyards. (
Josh. 15.53; Robinson,
Bibl. Res. vol. ii. p. 71, 2nd ed.)
There was another Tappuah in the plain of Judah (
Josh. 15.34); but which of these was the place conquered by Joshua, cannot be determined. (
Josh. 12.17.)
