<p> A son of [[Hebron]] (&nbsp;1 Chronicles 2:43); perhaps the meaning is a place near Hebron where one of Hebron's sons settled, from whence the family took its name. Smith's Bible Dictionary makes [[Tappuah]] colonized by the men of Hebron, the same place as Beth Tappuah. (See [[Beth]] TAPPUAH.) But the continuation of the genealogy, and [[Korah]] being never mentioned as a place, requires Hebron to be a person. </p>

<p> The present Tuffah, which probably represents Beth-tappuah (&nbsp;Joshua 15:53), is briefly described in the Memoirs to the Ordnance Survey (3:310). Beit-Ata, which we have conjectured to be the Tappuah of &nbsp;Joshua 12:11; &nbsp;Joshua 15:34, is copiously described, ibid. page 22 sq., 83; but Tristram suggests ''(Bible Places,'' page 48) for the latter Biblical site the present ''Artuj;'' which lies three and a half miles to the north-west of Beit- Atah, and one and a quarter miles south-east of Surah (Zorah). It is described in the above ''Memoirs'' (3:22) as "a small village on a low hill, with an open valley to the nwest. There is a pool in the valley, where the village obtains its water.Olive-trees occur around the place. "There do not seem to be any traces of antiquity. The third Tappuah, or that of-Ephraim (&nbsp;Joshua 16:8; &nbsp;Joshua 17:8), or Ein-tappuah, is conceded bv Tristram ''(Ut Sup.'' page 195) to be the modern ''Atuf,'' but to this Conder objects ''(Memoirs,'' 2:357) that there is no spring and no tombs, and that the names have but one letter in common. The place is "a mud village, built on an older site, and supplied by wells and cisterns" (ibid. page 227). </p>

    Tap´puah, or Beth-Tappuah

    A city in the tribe of Judah, not far from Hebron . Robinson identifies it with an old village, called Teffuh, which he found upon the hills north-west of Hebron.

    Another Tappuah lay in the plain of Judah, apparently in the vicinity of Zanoah, Jarmuth, Socoh, etc. : which of these was the place conquered by Joshua is not very clear (; comp. 10:6).

    Another place of the same name occurs on the confines of Ephraim and Manasseh .

    And in , a man of this name appears.
