<p> (Heb. Yogbah', '''''יָגְבִּהּ''''' , only with '''''ה''''' paragogic, '''''יָגְבְּהָה''''' , ''Lofty;'' Sept. '''''Ι᾿Εγεβαά''''' , but '''''Ὕψωσαν''''' '''''Αὐτάς''''' in Numbers; Vulg. ''Jegbaa'' ), a place mentioned (between [[Jazer]] and Beth-nimrah) among the "fenced cities and folds for sheep" rebuilt by the [[Gadites]] (&nbsp;Numbers 32:35). It lay on the route of [[Gideon]] when pursuing the nomadic Midianites, near Nobah, beyond Penuel, in the direction of [[Karkor]] (&nbsp;Judges 8:11). These notices correspond sufficiently with the locality of the ruined village ''El-Jebeiha'' (Robinson's ''Researches'' , 3, Append. p. 168), laid down on Robinson's and Zimmerman's maps on the edge of the desert east of Jebel el-Fukeis. </p>

<p> ''''' jog´bḗ ''''' - ''''' ha ''''' ( יגבּחה , <i> ''''' yoghbecḥāh ''''' </i> ): A city in Gilead assigned to Gad and fortified by that tribe (&nbsp; Numbers 32:35 ). It lay on the line along which Gideon chased the Midianites (&nbsp;Judges 8:11 ), and the indication there leaves no doubt that it is represented today by <i> ''''' Ajbeihāt ''''' </i> . The name attaches to 3 groups of ruins which date from Roman times. The position is about 7 miles Northwest of <i> ''''' ‛Ammān ''''' </i> , and about midway between that city and the town of <i> ''''' es ''''' </i> - <i> ''''' Salt ''''' </i> . It stands 3,468 ft. above the level of the Mediterranean. </p> <p> Oliphant, <i> Land of Gilead </i> , 232; Baedeker-Socin, Palestine. </p>
