    In Joshua 15:11, the form is tagged Noun · Proper and occurs where the border goes out to this location before reaching the sea; the APB renders the clause “went out to Jabneel.” In Joshua 19:33, the same proper-noun use marks a point through which the boundary runs toward Lakkum and the Jordan; the APB renders “through Adami-nekeb and Jabneel as far as Lakkum.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the name as “Jabneel” in both boundary accounts.
