The houses are clean and well built. There are two chapels, and the place seems increasing in size. It is situated on a ridge, with figs, olives, pomegranates, and arable land around. To the east and north the land is covered with brushwood. There is a spring within reach, and about thirty rock-cut cisterns in the village." </p> |

'''''—''''' ''Almma'' ), a town of the tribe of Asher, mentioned between [[Achzib]] and [[Aphek]] ( Joshua 19:30). Its site was evidently unknown to [[Eusebius]] and [[Jerome]] ( ''Onomast.'' s.v. "Amma"). Dr. Thomson suggests ( ''Bibliotheca Sacra,'' 1855,' p. 822) that it may be the modern village ''Aolam,'' situated on the coast about five miles E.N.E. of Ras en-Nakurahi and described by him as a large ruin with excellent water and fig- trees.(Land ''And Book,'' 2, 156). The ''Kefr Ammieih'' suggested by Keil ( ''Comment.'' ad loc.) is quite beyond the boundaries of the tribe. </p>

| <p> ''''' um´a ''''' ( עמּה , <i> ''''' ‛ummāh ''''' </i> ; Ἀρχάβ , <i> ''''' Archób ''''' </i> , Ἀμμά , <i> ''''' Ammá ''''' </i> ): One of the cities allotted to the tribe of [[Asher]] ( Joshua 19:30 ). By a slight emendation of the text it would read Acco, the name of the place subsequently known as Ptolemais, the modern <i> ''''' ‛Akkā ''''' </i> . This emendation is generally adopted by scholars, although it is at best a conjecture. No other identification is yet possible. </p>

Ummah [1]
is probably the present Alma esh-Shaub, two and a half miles south-east of en-Nakuerah (near the promontory of the same name), described in the Memoirs to the Ordnance Survey, 1:150, as "A large Christian village, containing about five hundred inhabitants. The houses are clean and well built. There are two chapels, and the place seems increasing in size. It is situated on a ridge, with figs, olives, pomegranates, and arable land around. To the east and north the land is covered with brushwood. There is a spring within reach, and about thirty rock-cut cisterns in the village."
