<p> <translit> ad´a </translit> - <translit> mı̄ nē´keb </translit> <span> אדמי הנּקב </span> , <i> <translit> 'ădhāmı̄ ha </translit> </i> - <i> <translit> neḳebh </translit> </i> , "the ground of the piercing," that is of the pass, or defile): A place mentioned in indicating the border of [[Naphtali]] ( <span> [[Joshua]] 19:33 </span> ). [[In]] the [[King]] [[James]] Version, [[Adami]] and [[Nekeb]] are given as separate names, and it is an open question which view of the matter is correct. Most of the [[Greek]] texts give the names as two. The [[Vulgate]] has "Adami quae est Neceb." The [[Jerusalem]] [[Talmud]] gives two names, though instead of Hannekeb or Nekeb it has <i> <translit> Ṣı̄yadāthāh </translit> </i> (Meg 1 1, or Neubauer's <i> Geog du Talmud </i> , 225). In the list of places conquered by Thothmes <links> III </links> of [[Egypt]] occurs the name <i> <translit> NḲBU </translit> </i> (Tomkins, Rec of Past, new series, V, 47), which seems to be the same with <i> <translit> Neḳeb </translit> </i> . </p> <p> The list of names for the border of Naphtali ( <span> Joshua 19:33 </span> , <span> Joshua 19:34 </span> ) has no name in common with the list of cities ( <span> Joshua 19:35-38 </span> ) unless Adami and [[Adamah]] are the same. The <links> PE S </links> urvey maps locate Adamah at Damieh, about seven miles northwest of the exit of the [[Jordan]] from the [[Lake]] of Galilee, and Adami at Khurbet Adamah, five or six miles south of the exit. Conder, Tomkins and others place Adami at Damieh, and identify Nekeb by its [[Talmudic]] name in the neighboring ruin <i> <translit> Ṣeiyâdeh </translit> </i> . [[Conder]] says (art. "Nekeb," <i> HDB </i> ) that the "pass" implied in the name Nekeb "is probably one leading from the eastern precipices near Tiberias." </p>
