Jutah

Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible

Jutah or Juttah (in   Joshua 15:55 Av [Note: Authorized Version.] has Juttah, which is read in   Joshua 21:16 by both Av [Note: Authorized Version.] and Rv [Note: Revised Version.] ). A town of Judah (  Joshua 15:55 ) given to the priests as a city of refuge for the manslayer (  Joshua 21:16 ). It has been left out of the catalogue of cities of refuge in   1 Chronicles 6:59 , but Qpb adds note: ‘Insert, Juttah with her pasture grounds.’ It has been suggested that Jutah was the residence of Zacharias and Elisabeth, and the birthplace of John the Baptist (  Luke 1:39 ‘a city of Judah ’). Jutah is probably the modern village of Yuttâ , standing high on a ridge 16 miles from Beit Jibrîn (Eleutheropolis).
