(Heb. Adami', אֲדָמַי , reddish; Sept. Ἀδεμμί , Vulg. Adami), a city near the border of Naphtali, mentioned between Zaanaim and Nekeb ( Joshua 19:33 ). The best interpreters (e.g. Rosenm ü ller, Keil, in loc.) join this with the following name, Nekeb ( הִנֶּקֶב , i. q. in the hollow; so the Vulg. quae est Neceb, but the Sept. distinguishes them, καὶ Νάκεβ ), as if an epithet of the same place; although the Jerusalem Talmud (Megillah, 70, 1) makes them distinct, and calls the former Damin ( דָּמַין ), which Schwarz (Palest. p. 181) supposes identical with a "village Dame 5 English miles west of the S.W. point of the Sea of Tiberias," meaning the ruined site Dameh (Robinson, Researches, 3, 237), falling on the limits of Naphtali. (See <a> TRIBE </a> ). The place appears to be the same elsewhere ( Joshua 19:36 ) called ADAMAH (See <a> ADAMAH </a> ) (q.v.), and the enumeration in ver. 38 requires the collocation Adanminekeb as one locality. (See <a> NEKEB </a> ).
