(Heb. Beyth ha-E'mek, בֵּית הָעֵמֶק, house of the valley; Sept. Βαιθαέμεκ v. r. Βαιθμέ ), a city of the tribe of Asher, apparently near its S.E. border ( Joshua 19:27). Dr. Robinson found a village called Amkah about eight miles N.E. of Akka ( Biblioth. Sacra, 1853, p. 121), which is probably the place in question, although he suggests that the above text seems to require a position south of the "valley of Jiphthah-el" or Jefat ( Later Bib.

The identification proposed by Schwarz ( Palest. p. 192) with the modern Amiuka (according to him also noticed in the Talmud), 12 miles N.N.W. of Safed, is altogether out of the region indicated.
