mis.r.phot ma.yim is a proper place name marking a pursuit destination and a boundary point in Joshua.

The attested use is a proper place name: Joshua names it both as the limit of Israel's pursuit and in describing the extent of territory to be allotted.

Senses in use

  1. Named location in pursuit and territorial description · dominant

    Both occurrences are tagged Noun · Proper. In Joshua 11:8 the APB renders Israel pursuing its defeated opponents “as far as Greater Sidon, Misrephoth-maim, and the valley of Mizpeh eastward”; in Joshua 13:6 it renders the land “from Lebanon to Misrephoth-maim” in the instruction about Israel's inheritance.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term as “Misrephoth-maim” in both verses: once in a pursuit route and once as the stated extent of land. These clauses establish its place-name function rather than a more specific English lexical rendering.
