Usage: Neah is mentioned in the context of a boundary description for the tribe of Zebulun in the Old Testament.

Context: Neah is a town mentioned in the Old Testament, specifically in the book of Joshua. It is listed as part of the territorial boundary of the tribe of Zebulun. The exact location of Neah is not definitively known today, but it is believed to have been situated in the northern region of ancient Israel. The mention of Neah occurs in Joshua 19:13, where it is described as part of the border that extends from Gath-hepher to Rimmon. The passage reads: "From there it went eastward to Gath-hepher and Eth-kazin; it extended to Rimmon and turned toward Neah." (Joshua 19:13, BSB). The town's name, derived from a root meaning "to move" or "wander," may suggest a historical significance related to migration or movement, although specific details about its history or inhabitants are not provided in the biblical text.
