| <p> ("stretched out.) A city in the hill country of Judah ( Joshua 15:55), allotted to the priests ( Joshua 21:16). [[Omitted]] by copyist's error in 1 Chronicles 6:57-59; now Yutta, near Main (Maon) and Kurmul (Carmel). [[Herein]] appears the value of the repetitions of names in parallel passages; the one corrects errors which creep into the other. As Joshua herein supplies the omission in Chronicles, so Chronicles gives [[Ashan]] the right reading for [[Ain]] in Joshua, as [[Septuagint]] prove. In the [[Egyptian]] monuments [[Juttah]] appears as [[Jah]] or Jahn, a fort of the [[Anakim]] near [[Arba]] or Hebron, In Luke 1:39 "a city of Juda" is a doubtful translation; for Judah or Judaea, the region, has usually the article in Greek (see Luke 1:5-65); and "Juda" had long been superseded by "Judaea." Probably "the city Juttah" or "Juda" is meant, the residence of [[Zacharias]] and Elisabeth, and the birthplace of John Baptist. However "Juda" is used of the region of Judah, Matthew 2:6. </p> | | Juttah <ref name="term_46710" /> |

| <p> (Hebrew Yutah', יוּטָה '','' Joshua 15:55,Vulg. ''Jota;'' or ''Yuttah'' ''', יֻטָּה'' , perhaps ''Inclined,'' otherwise i.q. ''Jotbah,'' Joshua 21:16, Vulg. ''Jeta;'' Sept. Ι᾿εττά v.r. Ι᾿τάν and Τανύ ), a [[Levitical]] city in the mountains of Judah, named in connection with Ziph, Jezreel, etc., in the neighborhood of Maon and [[Carmel]] ( Joshua 15:55). It was allotted to the priests (21:16), but in the catalogue of 1 Chronicles 6:57-59, the name has escaped. [[Eusebius]] (''Onomast.'' s.v.) calls it a large village by the name of ''Jettan'' (Ι᾿εττάν )'','' and places it eighteen miles south of Eleutheropolis, in the district of Daromas (the south). It is doubtless the village discovered by Dr. Robinson (''Researches,'' 2'','' 628), four miles south of Hebron, and still called ''Yutta,'' having the appearance of a large Mohammedan town, on a low eminence, with trees around and where the guides spoke of the existence of old foundations and former walls. Schwarz calls it ''Zata'' in his ''Palest.'' p. 106, and Seetzen ''Jitta'' on his map. </p> <p> "The selection of Juttah as a city of the priests suggests the idea of its having already been a place of importance, which is seemingly confirmed by early and numerous allusions to it in the inscriptions on the Egyptian monuments. There it appears to be described under the names Tah, Tahn, and Tahn-nu, as a fortress of the Anakim near Arba or Hebron; and it is not a little remarkable that another Egyptian document, the Septuagint, expresses the word in almost the selfsame manner, Ι᾿τάν and Τανύ '','' (''Jour. Sac. Lit.'' April and July, 1852, p. 73, 316, 317)" (Fairbairn, s.v.). </p> <p> The "city of Juda" ( Luke 1:39), whither Mary went to visit Elizabeth, the mother of John the [[Baptist]] (εἰς πόλιν Ι᾿ούδα ), and where Zecharias therefore appears to have resided, has usually been supposed to mean Hebron; but, if the reading be correct, the proper rendering would be "to the city Judah," i.e. its capital, or [[Jerusalem]] (see Bornemann, Schol. in Luc. p. 12), notwithstanding the absence of the article (Winer's Grammat. V.T. p. 136). But, as this was not intended (see [[Rob.]] Valesius, Epist. ad Casaubon. 1613, p. 669), Reland (Palest. p. 870) has suggested a conjectural reading of "Juttah" for "Judah" (Ι᾿ουτά for Ιούδα ) in the above passage of Luke, which has met with favor among critics (see Harenberg, in the Nov. Miscell. Lips. 4, 595; Paulus, Kuinol, ad loc.), although no various reading exists to justify it. </p>

Juttah [1]
Its modern representative Yutta is thus described in the Memoirs accompanying the Ordnance Survey (3:310);
"A large village standing on a ridge. It is built of stone, but some of the inhabitants live in tents. The water supply is from cisterns. On the south there are rock-cut tombs, and rock wine-presses are found all around the village. The neighborhood is extremely stony. South of the village are scattered olives, which are conspicuous objects; on the west, a little lower, under a cliff, is a small olive- yard: to the south-west a few figs. The inhabitants are very rich in flocks; the village owns, it is said, 17,000 sheep, besides goats, cows, camels, horses, and donkeys. The sheik alone has 250 sheep."
