Senses in use

  1. Named spring in boundary descriptions · dominant

    In Joshua 15:9, the proper noun occurs in the clause describing a border going from a mountain head to “the spring of the waters of Nephtoah.” In Joshua 18:15, the APB likewise renders the boundary as reaching “the spring of the waters of Nephtoah.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across both verses, the APB presents the name within the phrase “the spring of the waters of Nephtoah.” This phrase confirms the boundary-setting context rather than isolating an English rendering for the term.
