gat-ha.che.pher is a proper place name used for a boundary location and for Jonah’s place of origin.

The attested uses present gat-ha.che.pher as a proper place name: Joshua 19:13 names it along a route marking a boundary, and 2 Kings 14:25 identifies Jonah as being from it.

Senses in use

  1. Place named in boundary and origin statements · dominant

    Both occurrences are tagged Noun · Proper. In Joshua 19:13 the APB renders a route that passed eastward to “Gath-hepher” before continuing through named boundary points; in 2 Kings 14:25 it renders Jonah as “from Gath-hepher.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the name as “Gath-hepher” in both verses: once within a boundary route and once in identifying Jonah’s origin. These renderings are taken only as confirmation of the clauses’ place-name usage.
