<p> (Heb. Che'leph, חֶלֶ, an ''Exchange, As'' in Numbers 18:21; Numbers 18:31; Sept. joins' with prefixed preposition Μεέλεφ; Vulg. ''Heleph),'' a city mentioned apparently as the starting-point of the northern border of Naphtali, beginning at the west ( Joshua 19:33). [[Van]] de Velde thinks it may be the same with ''Beit-Lf,'' a village with ancient remains (comp. Robinson, ''Later Researches,'' p. 61, 62), nearly due east of the Ras Abyad, and west of Kades, on the S. edge of a very marked ravine (wady el-Ayun), which probably formed part of the boundary between Naphtali and [[Asher]] (Van de Velde, ''Syria, 1'' 233); nor is the objection of Keil ''(Comment.'' ad loc.), that the position is represented as being at the intersection of the northern border of [[Palestine]] with the eastern line of Asher, altogether correct, since several of the associated names are likewise somewhat interior. </p> | <p> (Heb.
