A Galilean fortress known from Josephus rather than named in Scripture.
Jotapata (Yodfat) is not named in the Bible; the biblical text supplies no location for it. The supplied atlas description identifies it as a Galilean fortress, known from Josephus rather than Scripture, and says that Josephus defended it before surrendering to Vespasian in his own histories. Accordingly, this page records an atlas identification, not a biblical place-name or a scriptural episode.
